"If our thoughts are just the result of blind physical causes, there’s no reason to trust them as reliable guides to truth— which undermines naturalism itself."
In this video, I respond to a popular form of atheism—naturalism—the belief that only the natural world exists and that everything, including human thought, can be explained by physical causes. I challenge this worldview by showing that if naturalism were true, it would ultimately undermine our ability to reason itself. Drawing on influential atheist thinkers like Hume, Marx, Russell, and Dawkins, I explore why the rejection of anything beyond nature leads to a self-defeating contradiction when it comes to rational thought.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
