The Reason Why Science Can’t Explain the Supernatural Is That the Supernatural Doesn’t Happen
Notes de l’épisode
Questions about the claim that science explains things that happen and that’s why it can’t explain the supernatural, whether there will be morality in Heaven, and reconciling the idea that we all intuitively know morality with the argument that Christianity gave our culture its morality.
- If science explains things that happen, then the reason it can’t explain the supernatural is that the supernatural doesn’t happen, for if the supernatural happened, then science would explain it.
- Will there be morality in Heaven? If there are no bad choices, would it only be free will and not morality?
- How do we reconcile the idea that morality is objective and we all just know it with the idea that Christianity gave us our Western moral values—i.e., if we all intuitively know morality, why do we argue Christianity gave it to our culture?
