How do we know He’s there?
In our present skeptical age Christians are often asked how we can know that God is there? What and how we know is, of course, the matter of epistemology and related branches of philosophy, and the vast majority of us don’t have the academic training to engage in high-powered epistemological debate. Nonetheless, we all conduct our lives guided by things we know are true, and reject others as false, and we Christians stake everything on certain very definite truth claims. How can we justify our confidence in Christian Truth in a clear but comprehensible way that does not require formal philosophical training?
How do we know at all?
We need to start with the understanding that the prevailing world-view today, even among many people who don’t consciously embrace materialism, is materialistic. It’s just assumed that we can only know about things that can be observed, measured, and be proven using what we might call “scientific” proof.
