Re: More on God as Hypothesis
Re: More on God as Hypothesis
As usual, very stimulating Paul.
Concerning postmodernism - like modernism, it rests on assumptions, some of which are flawed, some are valid. But it won’t go away - because it is becoming the prevailing worldview of the developed world. It is perhaps more helpful to ask what its focus is, how it has arisen, what its characteristic language and thought-forms are, and to address it on this level.
Concerning the resurrection - you do protest too much, methinks. Many a trained scientist, philosopher and expert in the field of thinking and history has come to quite the opposite conclusion to yourself. (You will find lists of such people in ‘Evidence that demands a verdict’ - a book which you would enjoy reading).
But I’m intrigued. If you dismiss the historical basis of Christian faith, but equally do not feel that your view “entails Christianity as being a purely a spiritual, existential phenomenon” - then what exactly is your view of the faith?
