Philosophy and the Christian Worldview Quotes

“To believe something is to believe that it is true. And to believe that it is true entails believing that its denial is false.”

“We are encouraged to believe that there is something arrogant and benighted about taking our own views to be true to the exclusion of the beliefs of others. We must be tolerant of the viewpoints of others, we are told, and, evidently, tolerance is often taken to be a matter of never thinking the beliefs of others to be false. But if this is the meaning of tolerance, then it would appear that the only tolerant people are those who believe nothing at all—including the proposition, We must be tolerant.”
― David Werther, Philosophy and the Christian Worldview: Analysis, Assessment and Development

“belief, by its very nature, is exclusive. If The earth is more than four billion years old is true, then the claim, The earth is fewer than ten thousand years old is false. And so my believing the truth of the former entails my also believing the falseness of the latter.”
― David Werther, Philosophy and the Christian Worldview: Analysis, Assessment and Development
