COMMENTARY: Dealing with evidence is always complicated, and tricky, and may or may not lead to a conclusion. But you’ll never get anywhere if you dogmatically refuse to accept the evidence as evidence.
Materialism, the belief that only material exists, undermines its own credibility
‘The eternal God gave a beginning to all that exists outside of himself. He alone is Creator. … The totality of what exists depends on the One who gives it being.’ (CCC 290)
The Catholic Church teaches that the existence of God can be known — not just believed or held as an opinion.
‘Be ready at all times,’ says St. Peter, ‘to answer anyone who asks you to explain the hope you have in you’
Materialists must be prepared to accept that there is no physical cause for the development of human consciousness.
