Atheists have been trying in vain to find a way around this problem for thousands of years
The human mind is extremely limited. The human mind can’t reason to truth. Agrippa the Skeptic discovered this 2,000 years ago. A German nobleman named Hieronymus Karl Friedrich von Münchhausen who lived from 1720 to 1797 is said to have also talked about the problem, although that isn’t confirmed. The trilemma is often called the Munchausen Trilemma because, in 1785, Rudolf Erich Raspe wrote about a fictional character based the German nobleman. In Raspe’s book, Baron Munchausen claimed to pull himself out of the swamp by his beard. The idea of the Baron pulling himself out the swamp by his beard is a funny way of showing how silly it is to believe the human mind can pull itself out of the proverbial swamp of irrational thinking. Hans Albert formalized the Trilemma in 1975, describing the impossibility for humans to provide rational justification for any truth claim. We can rationalize and argue, but we can’t prove anything to ourselves or each other. The trilemma refers to the fact that every attempt to prove a statement leads to one of three unsatisfactory outcomes:
Infinite regress (each proof requires another, and this continues indefinitely). Logic has made a phenomenal goof. When it offers proof, there’s no proof of the proof.
Circular reasoning (the conclusion is based on premises that require the conclusion itself). Here’s an example: “We know these fossils are millions of years old because they are in rock layers that are millions of years old, and we know the rock layers are millions of years old because the fossils in them are millions of years old.”
Axiomatic assumption (an assertion is accepted without proof, as a self-evident truth). Here’s an example: “Evolution is a fact. It just is.”
This is why ungodly thinkers can’t think rationally. Skeptics have been trying in vain to find a way around this problem for thousands of years. They haven’t found anything that helps them justify their godless thinking. Today, they try to dismiss this problem by using irrational and laughable fallacies. Rational thought is based on truth. His name is Jesus. ALL wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him. You have no path to wisdom, knowledge, or truth without Him.
Ask God to answer these questions:
What is every human mind limited by?
Why is Jesus the only source of all wisdom and knowledge for anyone?
Why can’t your mind reason to truth on its own?
Why can’t you prove things to yourself?
Why do you need divine revelation?
Bonus questions:
Agrippa the Skeptic was right about the limitations of the human mind. What did He miss?
Rational thought is based on truth. Why?
What is the human mind and the human soul and the human heart?
What does infinite regress mean?
What is circular reasoning?
What does axiomatic assumption mean?
