Again Greg Bahnsen has been answered.
Where are his defenders?
Where are his rescuers?
Perhaps silence is golden after all.

Sure, you have answered Bahnsen.
ReplyDeleteWhether you have answered correctly is another story.
Your unargued presupposition that all existence, life, mind, and reason it itself is the the result of mindless processes is still hanging out their twisiting in the wind.
Science has certainly not demonstrated your presuppositions of course, but your faith that it will is obviously great.
And I do use faith in the same perjorative sense that you do, in this context.
Frankly, your self referential rehashes and baseless moral pronouncements are unconvincing.
The PDF link is no longer working.
ReplyDeleteHello Miles,
ReplyDeleteThank you for pointing that out. I'm sure many old links are no longer working by this point - this entry just turned 16 the other day!
I've updated both links - to my website and to the PDF. See if they work now.
Regards,
Dawson
