And if we're living virtuously, that's going to be satisfying even if we don't believe in God or not.
Those are the two things at stake here.
And now this description, the story of reality I just described that I hold to, it seems to me completely coherent.
Maybe not true, but it certainly is coherent that if there is a God who made us for himself and places eternity in our hearts, that we're going to yearn for that and made the way for us to live.
And they're going to find good ways to live as opposed to unsatisfying ways to live.
That makes sense.
It doesn't make any sense to me at all to say that my molecules are moving in a certain way to create in my conscious mind, which Darwinism cannot offer an explanation for.
It hasn't.
That's why Daniel Dennett said –
Consciousness is an illusion because he couldn't do anything with it.
Thomas Nagel wrote his book, Mind in the Cosmos.
You're familiar with this, I'm sure.
Why the neo-Darwinian materialistic view of the world is almost certainly false.
And he's an atheist, for goodness sake, because he can't explain consciousness, not in a Darwinian way.
So how is it that this mystery of consciousness, which contains propositional thoughts, ideas, and purposes –
If consciousness can't be explained in a Darwinian way, how can some characterization of molecules in motion be?
accomplish that same end.
That's my concern.
That's why I'm not convinced at all about the naturalistic one.
