The Epistemological Proof – Justification for the Justifying Factor
Question
With God's help,
I wanted to ask: in the epistemological proof, you assume that the factor explaining perception between the world and the human being (phenomena and noumena) can be explained only by an entity outside the human-world system, and let us call it God.
But I wanted to ask: why do you assume that it itself is "coordinated"?
Answer
I didn’t understand the question. What does it mean that it is coordinated?
Discussion on Answer
Maybe He is? This is mere casuistry. I don’t ask questions about an entity I do not know, or about its ways of operating. It’s like a blind person asking a sighted person why he trusts his eyes. The sighted person won’t be able to answer him, but obviously he will go on trusting them.
In other words, according to the argument, why isn’t God Himself a skeptic? After all, nobody created Him.
