<quote from Real Faith & Reason>
As we’ve seen, ungodly thinkers always make up something and then use that made-up stuff as a foundation or starting point for their reasoning. That made-up stuff is the basis for their reasoning. And we’ve discovered that ungodly thinkers have to make up something to do any reasoning at all. Then they almost always hide the assumption, pretend it’s not made-up stuff, or defend their habit of basing all thought on made-up stuff. As a result, ungodly thinking gets complex. And complex irrationality is difficult to evaluate. That’s why ungodly thinkers use complexity and confusion to hide their axiomatic thinking fallacies.
Someone may say, “There’s another way besides making up stuff and using smokescreen fallacies, and that way is observation.” This claim introduces a third source, observation, but observation is one of the ways God reveals reality to humanity. Claiming that observation is separate from divine revelation commits a fallacy known as denying the correlative conjunction. Though God reveals reality to us through observation, the human mind filters and distorts revelation unless the observer is in submission to the Anointing of the Holy Spirit. On the other hand, if the human mind interprets observation in a way that goes beyond observation, it corrupts observation. Therefore, theories corrupt science as soon as anyone treats theories as if they were more than an organized way to think about made-up stuff. As we think about this corruption, we’re aware that people who build their lives on theories find it difficult to consider the possibility that their theories aren’t a solid foundation. However, whatever can be shaken will be shaken so what can’t be shaken will remain.
Also, we can’t observe objectively without divine intervention since we can’t get outside of ourselves to be objective, and our worldviews filter our observations. As a result, our worldviews act as a veil or filter over our senses and thoughts, so when God wants to reveal something to us, He pulls back this veil of the worldview. “Removing the veil” is the literal meaning of “revelation.” Scripture interprets the meaning of “the veil.” The veil is a symbol of our human fleshly nature. Those who reject God try to stop God’s revelation. They often substitute a vision out of their innermost minds, but when they do, these visions come out of their worldviews, which are part of their fleshly natures. As we progress on our journey in the next trip, we’ll explore the fantasy land of worldviews. We’ll also explore more of the arguments that persuaders use to defend ungodly thinking in the book Real Faith & Reason Volume Three.
