Another good post here by Wintery Knight:
Dr. William Lane Craig recently had a formal debate with an atheist philosopher named Alex Rosenberg. Rosenberg is a strong naturalist and he suggests all kinds of counterintuitive outworkings of naturalism in his book. Dr. Craig brought up a bunch of those strange views in his debate, and I listed them out in my summary of the debate as follows:
1.The argument from the intentionality (aboutness) of mental states implies non-physical minds (dualism), which is incompatible with naturalism
2.The existence of meaning in language is incompatible with naturalism, Rosenberg even says that all the sentences in his own book are meaningless
3.The existence of truth is incompatible with naturalism
4.The argument from moral praise and blame is incompatible with naturalism
5.Libertarian freedom (free will) is incompatible with naturalism
6.Purpose is incompatible with naturalism
7.The enduring concept of self is incompatible with naturalism
8.The experience of first-person subjectivity (“I”) is incompatible with naturalism
We are concerned with #1 and #2 in this post.
Now I was visiting my parents last week in my home town and Dad and I went to church on Sunday. He wanted to listen to some weird sing-song-voiced pastor on the drive there, but I plugged in my smartphone and we listened to these three podcasts by William Lane Craig instead.
