I am about to commence on a twenty-something page essay on Logical Positivism. A theory that is an attempt to create a coherent, secular worldview. It would mean that statements unverifiable in nature, such as "God exists" would be rendered meaningless. Meaningful sentences are those that have material value, like "every tree I've seen is made of wood," or "Andrew is studying." We can verify whether those are true or false. You can look at all the trees I've seen and find that it's true, they are made of wood. You can also find me and say, no, it's false, Andrew is not studying. Moral questions, like "Hitler was evil," are toughies, but someone smart might be able to afford meaning to those. If not, we'll just go with relativism and the "moral majority."
This theory failed, no philosopher would say a coherent secular worldview came out it. Now that's really interesting, because you can hear the effects of the theory everywhere. Our culture
is so focused on the 5 senses being the only means of truth-finding, "Well if God came down and spoke to me, then I'd believe." But yet when this theory of naturalism is brought to it's logical conclusions (in positivism) we get a fallen philosophy.
Anyhow, I'm hoping that my essay will bring out just why positivism failed, and why no one can make it work, and even why it NEEDS to work for a secular worldview to be plausible.
and if you ask me why I believe in God... well last tuesday i needed both soap AND a number list for my church. and the big guy upstairs hooked me up with both in less than an hour through unusual circumstances. that's not why i believe, but i did think it was cool.
alright, i'm done
