About A Place.
This channel is to be a place for discussion of foundational things - metaphysics. I hope that when I do decide to discuss something foundational I do so in a way that is helpful and non-discordant. My sole goals do not involve angering others although I do imagine that some shall be angered but this is just collateral damage.

I am a Theist who leans towards Christianity. Insofar as I have examined and continue to examine the evidence for Christ's resurrection seems rather conclusive. I was once an agnostic until I met a very intelligent Theologian who got me started on this important journey.I am most fond of the Cosmological Arguments and defend them rigorously.
[M]oral relativism suffers from a problem known as the reformer's dilemma. If normative relativism is true, then it is logically impossible for a society to have a virtuous, moral reformer like Jesus Christ, Gandhi, or Martin Luther King, Jr. Why? Moral reformers are members of a society who stand outside that society's code and pronounce a need for reform and change in the code. However, if an act is right if and only if it is in keeping with a given society's code, then the moral reformer himself is by definition an immoral person, for his views are at odds with those of his society. But any view that implies that moral reformers are impossible is defective because we all know that moral reformers have actually existed!

I have no bone to pick with legitimate science. Indeed, it has been argued repeatedly that science was born in Christian Europe precisely because Christian theology helped provide worldview justification for its assumptions. What I do reject is the idea that science and science alone can claim to give us knowledge. This assertion — known as scientism — is patently false and, in fact, not even a claim of science, but rather, a philosophical view about science. Nevertheless, once this view of knowledge was widely embraced in the culture, the immediate effect was to marginalize and privatize religion by relegating it to the back of the intellectual bus. To verify this, one need only compare the number of times scientists, as opposed to pastors or theologians, are called upon as experts on the evening news.
