Ep. 127 - ' "The Manion Paper" - Atheism, Revelatory Theism, and The End of Truth'

We break down Russ Manion's paper, "The Contingency of Knowledge and Revelatory Theism".

What is truth? Is there a such thing as objective reality? How would we know? These questions have been debated by philosophers for millenia, and yet there still appear to be no answers backed by science itself. So can we believe anything that anyone says? How can we trust anything?

Manion describes our world as it is seen by materialists, atheists, and empiricists, and demonstrates how on their own presuppositions, reality itself devolves into meaninglessness. The rescue from this abysmal state of utter despair and destruction is God, Himself. Without God as He has revealed Himself to us, we cannot even make coherent sentences, let alone believe that what we call "reality" is in any way actually real.
