This has nothing to do with Van Til's position about "apparent contradictions" in that way, as if you can put the one up against the other. |
I was following you until the last sentence. Why doesn't it have to do with Van Til's position on apparent contradictions? What good does it do to show the absurdity of everyone else's worldviews if we ourselves also embrace an "apparently" absurd (in this case, I mean "illogical" or "irrational," by "absurd") worldview?
