We disagree and I still love you

I appreciate the kindness but I'm serious. In a materialistic, naturistic worldview where there is no (Biblical) God, there is no basis for expecting uniformity in nature (how does chaos and randomness produce order?) necessary for scientific study and discovery; there's no basis for laws of logic and reason, or other immaterial principles; and there is no basis for moral absolutes that people generally agree exist to one degree or another, among other things.

We do know things. We learn things. We experience things and can confirm our experience is valid and not illusory. We reason and abide by the seemingly universal principles of logic, such as non-contradiction. We know (generally) right from wrong and understand it in a fundamental sense. These things should not be possible in an atheistic world where the only things that exist are matter, moving around randomly in the universe with no purpose. We shouldn't be able to "know" anything, at least for certain, because all we have is our limited experience based on chemical reactions in our own minds. So yeah, if God doesn't exist, we can't know anything.

We all live within the confines of the Christian worldview, even if we don't know it or agree with it.

Thank you for being gracious
