Hmmmm...I see your point.
I just finished reading a very good book that dwells on this issue a bit. The title is "How Should We Then Live" by Francis Schaeffer. He spends a good deal of the book discussing world views and how a world view philosophy that omits God is untenable.
Dataman's point that human reason cannot look beyond man himself is echoed by Francis Schaeffer. The book highlights the circular nature of these philosophies and their ultimate failure
I highly recommend the book.
Schaeffer wrote that book while I was just finishing college. I owe much to his influence, and was fortunate to have heard him speak before he died. I would echo him, but he didn't even know of my existence. Dr. Nancy Pearcy was one of his converts. If you liked How Then, you'd like her Total Truth.
