In Christ Alone

"I know now, Lord, why you utter no answer. You are yourself the answer. Before your face questions die away. What other answer would suffice? Only words, words; to be led out to battle against other words." - Orual in C.S. Lewis' Till We Have Faces

The Fallacy of Absolute Certainity

Here is a superb article by Alister McGrath. It deals with the fallacy of absolute certainity with regard to any worldview. In it, he discusses the issue of faith as a necessity of all worldviews, including atheism. He also deals with arguments against the existence of God from both a philosophical and scientific perspective. The article is long BUT worth the time and effort. Let me know what you think after reading it.

    Hey Michael, I read the article by Alister Mcgrath reluctantly, only because I dread long explanations, I 've always liked everything to the point, but back to the matter of the article, it hit home with me because I attempted to discuss self-doubt with a christian friend, once upon a time, and was chastized because as a professed christian I was not to have any doubts at all......Thanks for the article..God Bless and be safe coming home....Dad

    Dad,

    Thanks for your comments. I, too, have had similiar conversations with similiar results. Normally, I walking away feeling like a "second-class" Christian or not a Christian at all. That is one of the reasons I appreciated this article.
