In this book the goal is for readers to become open minded, to think freely and thus objectively, so one can rightly recognize what is true from what is false. Therefore, the focus will be on absolute truth and the most rational answer for the problem of evil.
A person may not want to discipline their mind but if one recognizes this is something one ought to do, then the intellectually honest person will choose to do so. Doing what one ought to do, while not necessarily wanting to, this is not in the same vein as feeling forced to do something. In this book readers will learn how to think freely and objectively, and how to help others do the same. After reading this text one will recognize there is absolute truth, the problem of evil has been logically solved, there are evidential reasons for having rational faith, and accordingly readers will learn how to share this hope with others.
If all truth is subjective this means those with the money and power will be the ones telling you what truth is. What is this subjective truth the so-called elite believe in? You are their property which can be bought and sold. You can be controlled by those who know how to appeal to your emotions. You can be manipulated by those who pay the media to form what they deem to be popular opinion; therefore, they will appeal to your ignorance. You will be subject to their truth, for they feel you are sheep powerless to do otherwise. However, at the crossroads there is another choice. To be argued for in this text, the absolute Truth is the ultimate price has been paid for your freedom. Take the offer. Those set free are free indeed, for their mind is set free. Such a person will have peace of mind, a peace which surpasses anything the materialistic world has to offer.
Excerpt
For the truth to ever be shared and recognized on a wider scale language was necessary, and thus the ability to create a written language is essential. This gift of communicating with spoken words and the written word must not be wasted, for language surely is a gift from God. Leading linguists and evolutionists have confessed to being completely puzzled by the human ability to communicate through language and the written word. As linguist Patricia Kuhl has observed, “the mechanism that controls the interface between language and social cognition remains a mystery.” Paleontologist Simon Morris has observed the human gift of language is “somehow imprinted on our brains…” thus for good reason Morris also happens to be a Christian. To say human language is an obstacle for those denying the existence of God is no exaggeration, seeing as how the secular experts in multiple fields of study have given up on solving this mystery.
Multiple experts from respected fields of study including evolutionists, anthropologists, computer scientists, and linguistics have discovered no plausible explanation for how and why language exists from an evolutionary perspective. Regarding this study journalist Tom Wolfe remarked, “I had never heard of a group of experts coming together to announce what abject failures they were…” Since the idea of Darwinism came into being scientists in other fields of study have discovered so many valuable and advancing truths. Meanwhile the atheistic evolutionists have discovered nothing of progressive value. From the naturalist perspective the mystery of language, thus the mystery of the human mind, has never been resolved. As an engineering technologist and Christian ethicist Paul Golata argued, “God provides the best framework from which to understand intelligence.” God is relational and has even communicated with humanity through the language of mathematics. This language was not invented by humans but was discovered. As Werner Heisenberg observed, “…the fact that we can explain nature by simple mathematical laws tells us that here we have met some genuine feature of reality, not something that we have — in any meaning of the word — invented ourselves.” What sets humans far above the animals is the ability to communicate ideas and express emotions through speech, written words, and in discovering and sharing mathematical truths. Yet, the human mind coming into being by chance remains a faithful hope for atheists.
Language has always been a gift from God intended for people to comprehend, appreciate, and share the truth. As Wolfe argued, “Speech is 95 percent plus of what lifts man above animal!” The relational aspect of language is expected if one believes humankind is made in the image of a loving and relational God. This ability for the mind to communicate truth and express selfless love is one of the first pieces of evidence for the human mind being designed by the Triune God. The truth is science and theology are united, thus the misinformed skeptic must have been misled by those who are experts at delivering well-articulated lies. Furthermore, since the evidence points towards Christ, the only God known for proving His love, any skeptical intellectuals claiming the evidence is not substantial may be in denial or perhaps even deliberately lying. Jesus said I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6 NIV). Where the deist believes in a God who has not revealed His identity, the Christian is faithful to a God who has revealed Himself and therefore wants to be known.
Without fearing opposing views, the Christian should investigate and grow in their knowledge of what is true, for their faith is in the provider of all truth. If Christ is the Truth, one sees there must be a deeper understanding about what truth is. Truth is not subjective, nor can one simply argue truth is objective, for if what Christ claimed is true, then truth is alive and eternal. God desires for the Christian to love Him with all their mind, and Jesus expects the Christian to worship God in Spirit and in truth (Matt. 22:37; John 4:21-24). Therefore, the modern Christian must seek after a deeper understanding in the fields of science, philosophy, and of course theology to better articulate the truth to any person who believes contrary. From multiple fields of study there has been amazing discoveries supportive of the Biblical worldview, thus there is no excuse for ignorance in the Church today. The Bible is clear on how the faithful must be wise towards outsiders, being ready to provide answers to everyone who asks why one should place their faith in Christ (Col. 4: 5-6, 1 Pet. 3:15). What is clear in mathematics is clear in life, there is a right way and a wrong way, thus there is the absolute truth and the lies.
