Can We Believe? by Andrew Klavan

Can We Believe? by Andrew Klavan
It is the Enlightenment Narrative that creates this worship of reason, not reason itself. In fact, most of the scientific arguments against the existence of God are circular and self-proving. They pit advanced scientific thinkers against simple, literalist religious believers. They dismiss error and mischief committed in the name of science—the Holocaust, atom bombs, climate change—but amberize error and mischief committed in the name of faith—“the Crusades, the Inquisition, witch hunts, the European wars of religion,” as Pinker has it.
I absolutely love his argument about the worship of reason as pitted against revelation. I'm thankful that as a believer, I have access to both.
