Spoken truth retains its truth “only because God is continually present” — without the Christian worldview one is faced with Hume’s problem of Induction and this problem also surfaces in the dynamic of language. Additionally it can be utilized to demonstrate that mathematics, identity, and countless truths have permanent aspects to them only because God is always present and continually sustains them. An always-in-flux material cosmos lacks the capacity to guarantee a retention of anything over time, even a short duration of time. Hence the non-theist cannot account for the truth that 2 + 2 = 4 even five minutes after it was asserted. The omnipotent and always present God has the capacity to guarantee truths can retain their truth in the future.

I’d like to focus an entire show on multi-perspectivalism at some point. It seems its influence is waning, however. Maybe its just my narrow vantage point.

So will you be doing a show on tri-perspectivalism?
