Unul din motivele pentru care nu cred in evolutionism este acela ca ma desfiinteaza complet ca fiinta rationala, negandu-mi posibilitatea de a cunoaste orice fel de adevar.
C. S. Lewis scrie, in cartea sa, Miracles: "If my mental processes are determined wholly by the motions of atoms in my brain, I have no reason to suppose that my beliefs are true ... and hence I have no reason for supposing my brain to be composed of atoms."
Tot el, in Is Theology Poetry, scrie: "If minds are wholly dependent on brains, and brains on biochemistry, and biochemistry (in the long run) on the meaningless flux of the atoms, I cannot understand how the thought of those minds should have any more significance than the sound of the wind in the trees."
G. K. Chesterton, in Orthodoxy, scrie: "That peril is that the human intellect is free to destroy itself...It is idle to talk always of the alternative of reason and faith. It is an act of faith to assert that our thoughts have any relation to reality at all. If you are merely a skeptic, you must sooner or later ask yourself the question, "Why should anything go right; even observation and deduction? Why should not good logic be as misleading as bad logic? They are both movements in the brain of a bewildered ape?"
C. S. Lewis: "But if I can't trust my own thinking, of course I can't trust the arguments leading to Atheism, and therefore have no reason to be an Atheist, or anything else. Unless I believe in God, I cannot believe in thought: so I can never use thought to disbelieve in God."
Deci, atata timp cat cred in evolutie, nu pot sa cred in ratiunea mea. Atata timp cat nu pot crede in ratiunea mea, n-o pot folosi ca sa demonstrez evolutia. E o credinta oarba, absolut lipsita de sens, a spune ca ceea ce gandesc are vreo legatura cu realitatea, cu adevarul, atata timp cat cred ca creierul mi s-a format printr-un proces evolutiv.
Este absolut necesar sa postulez credinta intr-un Dumnezeu care m-a inzestrat cu o ratiune care poate cunoaste adevarul, altfel ma autodesfiintez. Fara Dumnezeu, adevarul, daca exista, nu poate fi cunoscut de catre ratiunea mea.
