Are you absolutely sure?

August 28, 2007 by Dr. Mc.

To say, “The universe requires a Creator.” Is an act of faith, because all other possible explanations have not nor ever can be explored. All absolutes must be taken by faith, regardless of whether they are true. Likewise to say, “The universe does not require a Creator,” is an act of faith, because explanations for everything have not nor ever can be explored. It is an absolute that must be taken by faith, regardless of whether it is true. To say, “There are no absolutes,” is simply an act of ignorance. The statement itself is nonsensical, because one cannot make an absolute statement that absolutes don’t exist. It is like saying, “My brother is an only child.” The implication is that there are absolutes, because endorsement of their existence is the only statement that can be made with impunity.
