What is the concrete? And what is the privileged position of human epistemology?




Over at Watcher's Anglican Origins Discussion blog, Watcher comments on what Watcher reports as the the final chapter in CMI's book, Evolutions' Achilles' Heels. http://anglicanoriginsdiscussion.blogspot.com/2017/01/whats-it-all-about.html

I have not looked at the book yet, but now I think I should. Specifically because Watcher reports that the book has a final chapter 'entitled "Ethics and Morality" that, despite its giving 'a fair tour of that topic' 'ends up, even with 'a disclaimer,' making 'Christianity look like a' mere ''do this...don't do that'' model of mere action and assent. (I'm presuming that such mere action and assent is what Watcher means to be describing of that chapter.)

Watcher goes on to point out that, when a human animal creature denies a personal Creator and Ground of Being, that human tends to reduce everything, including himself and other humans, to that over which he has a paradigmatic practical power: mere matter.

But the godless Materialist dichotomy begins prior to any deliberate attempt to deny a Personal Creator and Ground of being. The concept that God is immaterial is a really backwards concept, because it invariably suggests to our minds that God is an abstraction.

For God to be real, He cannot be an abstraction. He has to be the Uniquely Transcendent Concrete.
