The few naturalists smart enough to know they can’t escape this are the ones who realize they have no choice but to resort to the absurd claim that language and thought do not really exist.

This type of absurd claim is only rendered more absurd by you posting something from the "Christian Post" as evidence.

Look, you're exhibiting the God of the Gaps argument right now. The God of the Gaps argument says that anything that can't understood by current science is the work of "God".

It's a nonsensical argument as I said before.

You might as well say "language can only come from Allah."

Lennox is a believer, so he has no prerogative to debunk his own beliefs. It's ridiculous to think he would. I wouldn't expect to read an article in the "UFO Post" debunking UFOs, or an article in "Islam Today" debunking Mohammed's night flight.

Time to branch off outside of your wheelhouse.

If you see something I took from another post, please let me know because it happened without my knowledge.

Remember, God of the gaps argument is made by the atheists. I’m arguing against atheism.

Think of it this way: atheistic arguments have attempted to establish that science somehow replaces God. This shows an inexplicable failure to understand the definition of God. God has always been understood as creator of everything, so that anything discovered by scientists is merely one more piece of the creation puzzle.

Atheism falls flat when challenged to explain how to reduce language according to their ideology of scientism. To understand the problem takes a bit more focus than some atheists might be used to. But get on with it, stop being lazy.
