Philosophical naturalism is taken to be the preferred and reigning
epistemology and metaphysics that underwrites many ideas and
knowledge claims. But what if we cannot know reality on that basis?
What if the institution of science is threatened by its reliance on
naturalism? R. Scott Smith argues in a fresh way that we cannot
know reality on the basis of naturalism. Moreover, the "fact-value"
split has failed to serve our interests of wanting to know reality.
The author provocatively argues that since we can know reality, it
must be due to a non-naturalistic ontology, best explained by the
fact that human knowers are made and designed by God. The book
offers fresh implications for the testing of religious
truth-claims, science, ethics, education, and public policy.
Consequently, naturalism and the fact-value split are shown to be
false, and Christian theism is shown to be true.
