The Limits of Science
- Science describes, but it does not prescribe. It tells us how things work but not why they exist at all.
- Science cannot account for morality, meaning, or purpose. Why should we care about good and evil? Why does love matter?
- Science cannot answer ultimate questions. Why is there something rather than nothing? Where did the laws of physics come from?
The Assumptions of Skepticism
- You rely on the scientific method, which depends on induction and the uniformity of nature. But your worldview cannot justify why the future should resemble the past. Why should the sun rise tomorrow if the universe is just a product of random chance?
- How do you account for the existence of logic and mathematical truths, which science depends on but cannot prove?
- If the universe is just atoms and energy, why do we experience beauty, love, and moral obligation?
The Resurrection as the Central Question
- How do you explain the explosive growth of Christianity if the resurrection was a fabrication?
- Why would the disciples be willing to suffer and die for something they knew was false?
- If Jesus didn’t rise, what alternative explanation best accounts for the evidence of Christianity?
Beyond Arguments
- How does atheism offer real hope in the face of suffering and death?
- If atheism is true, does your life ultimately matter?
- What do you do with the longing for meaning, purpose, and transcendence?
