There Will Be Questions
March 31, 2025It occurred to me today that no matter the ontological views of an individual, there will always be questions. Some epistemic naturalists might hold that, given enough time, we could know the fundamentals of the universe; essentially, we could answer the What, never needing the Why. This is a significant claim and we don't know it can be done. If you'll call back in a few billion years...
More seriously, I recognized today that no matter my worldview, questions tied to the certainty of any claim will exist. Some Christians and some Naturalists have one thing in common: in both camps are those who claim we can know for certain the absurdity of the opposite viewpoint. It seems to me they're both wrong. Both make a leap of faith at some juncture. Both must commit to their chosen path. In both cases, questions and uncertainties remain. This is the nature of faith.
There will be questions.
