Debunking the Myth of Certainty

Debunking the Myth of Certainty
When I read the following quote in Intellectuals Don’t Need God I stood up and cheered, then ran out of my house and down the street shouting “yes, yes, yes.”

The fact that we cannot prove that Christianity is true is no longer the crippling disadvantage it was once thought to be (which just goes to show how much intellectual fashions can change over the years). It merely places Christians in the best of intellectual company and marks them off from those who naively think that the really important things in life can be proved with certainity. Those who lack psychological maturity may need to cling to the illusions of certainty; the rest of us are content to learn to live in a world in which nothing important is certain and nothing certain is important.
