Description
The academic environment can sometimes be a
hostile place for people of faith. A big part of the problem results from those
who have a truncated view of the nature of truth, thinking it can only arise
from empirical reasoning. In this episode, Dr. Jonathan Tsai speaks about what
we can know empirically and what we can only know by faith. This distinction is
not a problem for the Christian, who recognizes that all truth comes from God. Ultimately,
empirically-based truth and rationality are tools to be used for the glory of
God, not excuses to deny His existence or supremacy.
