Competing Creeds

David Cowles

Jul 13, 2022

Suppose we were to express our generation's secular worldview as a 'creed,' how would it read?

Christians are often chided for believing things that are, well, “unbelievable.” Maybe so — but is any of it any more unbelievable than what is generally, and for the most part uncritically, accepted as “Gospel” today, in our supposedly post-Christian era? I do not mean to insist that either model is necessarily right or wrong; rather, I want to point out that the two models are of a similar logical, epistemological, and ontological order. The fact is that our world is a many-splendored thing; it would be surprising if it did not require creative categories of explanation.
