Can extreme skepticism be self-defeating? Discover the fascinating world of David Hume, one of history's most influential skeptics, as we dissect his rigorous approach to questioning everything from miracles to the simple act of billiard balls moving. You'll learn how Hume's extreme skepticism even brought him to doubt the fundamental principles of cause and effect. We also reveal the intriguing inconsistency of modern skeptics who challenge religious beliefs while accepting scientific principles, highlighting the necessity for unwavering consistency in skepticism to avoid potential self-refutation. Understand how Hume’s criteria for meaningful statements can paradoxically undermine his own philosophies, particularly when dealing with abstract concepts like love and morality. Finally, we will emphasize the critical importance of defending faith with reason, encouraging thoughtful engagement with opposing viewpoints, and always keeping our primary focus on deepening our understanding of the Bible. Join us for this thought-provoking journey through skepticism and faith.
