<quote from Real Faith & Reason>
Here’s a question about the ungodly thinking trilemma: why stick to three choices when five choices exist, and why filter out the one choice that allows sound reasoning? Of course, there’s a reason that all ungodly thinkers filter possibilities this way. They have this problem because they bind themselves up by falsely assuming naturalism. Since they’ve chosen this way of thinking, naturalism filters their experience of life and twists their thinking. It irrationally eliminates divine revelation a priori. It’s worse than that. Naturalism forces ungodly thinkers to miss the opportunity to hear from the Absolute. It blocks them from hearing from the One Who created everything. They block their ears so they won’t hear from Him Who knows all things and can’t lie.
Ungodly thinkers refuse to consider revelation because revelation is outside the ungodly worldview. They’re also biased against Christ and His righteousness. God explains that they’re biased because their deeds are evil and they love darkness rather than light. They don’t reject revelation because of evidence but because of spiritual bias.
As we can see, reason and revelation aren’t in conflict. Revelation is the only basis for sound reasoning because sound reason must have a true premise. Reason can’t be sound without a true premise. Since no one can prove that a premise is true without divine revelation, ungodly thinkers have an unsolvable problem. Perhaps that’s what God means when He says, through Scripture, that all wisdom and all knowledge are hidden in Christ.
For the reasons just given, the time has come to trim the trilemma. While Agrippa, Münchausen, and Albert had a point, we can simplify this trilemma. Ungodly thinkers have no choice but to reason using axiomatic thinking fallacies, and then they use smokescreen fallacies to cover up their axiomatic thinking. Circular reasoning and infinite regression are only two of hundreds of possible smokescreens. For instance, in socialist countries, the smokescreens include appeal to fear, appeal to force, and message control.
