This first section is written to show that Naturalism is falsifed. This has crucial implication in narrowing down the possible world-views. Dr Stephen Meyer, in discussing the implications of Big Bang Cosmology in an interview with Dr John Ankerberg, argued that there are four classes of world-views: Theism, Deism, Pantheism, and Materialism. He argued that Big Bang Cosmology falsifies Naturalism; the falsification of Naturalism eliminates Materialism and Pantheism as viable candidates for a valid worldview Sec1:1.
Â
Big Bang Cosmology is one of several ideas that form powerful arguments that falsify naturalism. Because Materialism and Pantheism are two differing interpretations of naturalism, the falsification of naturalism falsifies Materialism, Pantheism, and the religions that presuppose these world-views.
Â
When I write of the falsification of Naturalism in the next several chapters, I am not asserting that because Naturalism cannot explain everything or because of certain things we don’t know, that Naturalism is false. I am asserting that there exists both positive evidence and logical arguments that show Naturalism to be false.
