Welcome to Gödel Friday. Conditional proof is also useful in proving tautologies. Previously we proved a proposition to be a tautology via truth tables (a semantical approach), but the CP method can also do this (a syntactical approach). Consider this tautology (M.P. written as…
Welcome to McCarthy Thursday. Solomon in Ecclesiastes 7:4 writes, “The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.” There is a wisdom and maturity that comes to one who has endured hardship. We are face to face with God in such…
Welcome to Bahnsen Wednesday. Apologetics is in the business of refuting unbelief by knocking down all contrary assertions to Christ. When your opponent has run out of ammunition, he will likely do one of three things: walk away, seek information about the gospel, or turn into…
Welcome to Van Til Tuesday. All truth, goodness, and beauty in creation (including man’s labors) are derivate to the truth, goodness, and beauty in God. Man is not independent of God, even though he tries with all of his being to be “creatively constructive”. Man’s labors require…
Welcome to Wittgenstein Monday. Wittgenstein’s discovery of truth tables is probably the most significant advancement in philosophy/logic contained in the Tractatus (see my Gödel Friday posts for more on this topic.). Truth tables show us why proving ‘K → C’ in Van Til’s…
Ep 35 - Is John Frame a Van Tillian? (Part 3) In this final episode on whether John Frame is a Van Tillian, we discuss Frame’s views on traditional evidential arguments and how he understands the circularity of Van Til’s apologetic.
Welcome to Gödel Friday. Here is an argument that looks simple to prove, but when using the standard method is quite difficult to see where to begin. 1. (p ∨ q) → r ∴ p → r There is, however, little thinking involved using CP here. We just assume ‘p’ to be true, use Add. on…
Welcome to McCarthy Thursday. Death knocking at the door is really God knocking at the door, and the knocking is not for permission to come in but to announce judgment. The Maker is here. “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” (Heb. 10:31)
Welcome to Bahnsen Wednesday. The presentation of arguments in apologetics is not separate from the emotions accompanying such a presentation (1 Peter 3:15), but the soundness of the argument (whether the argument is logical and contains only true premises/axioms) is independent…
Welcome to Van Til Tuesday. Notice Van Til’s emphasis here on the a priori. The Christian’s commitments are prior to all argumentation, and since they are prior to all argumentation, they must be outside of any argument he gives (and thus govern all that is within). Van Tillians…
Welcome to Wittgenstein Monday. Taken rigidly, the first statement is clearly false. Later Wittgenstein addresses all sorts of thoughts/images that are meaningful but lack clear expression (whether in thought or in speech). Trying to express the aroma of coffee is one of his…
Ep 34 - Is John Frame a Van Tillian? (Part 2) This is the second episode of a three-part series on whether John Frame is a Van Tillian. Today, we show that Frame is not a Van Tillian.
Welcome to Gödel Friday. Conditional proofs may also be performed without needing to assume the negation of the conclusion. If the conclusion is an implication ‘p → q’, then we can assume ‘p’ to be true and then try to derive ‘q’ from ‘p’ and the premises. Here is an example:…
Welcome to McCarthy Thursday. Man’s heart seeks only darkness. God either redeems man out of this darkness, or he keeps the darkness at bay through common grace, allowing light to shine forth (horizontal, man-to-man; not vertical, man-to-God), but eventually God will remove this…
Welcome to Bahnsen Wednesday. I’m not sure why this is so common with Van Til’s critics, but they often take the form of the Un-man in C.S. Lewis’s Perelandra. For decades Van Tillians have patiently (and not so patiently) been correcting the critics’ misrepresentations of Van…
Welcome to Van Til Tuesday. An interesting refutation of all evidential arguments is exposing the tension in their definitions of ‘God’ and ‘possibility’. Evidentialists present their arguments as ones of probability not of certainty—the conclusion is probably true even if the…
Welcome to Wittgenstein Monday. The failure of early Wittgenstein (in the Tractatus) to make clear what was previously opaque is realized in the later Wittgenstein. The history of philosophy has only a few moments of insight of this quality, but they are there and are quite…
