Atheists are guilty of what he calls explanatory
monism.
They say that science is the only answer
to everything. So, for example, I walk into
a kitchen. My mother is making tea for
me. I don't know what she's doing. So
I say, what are you doing? She says,
I'm expanding molecules. That's scientifically what's happening. But
does it answer my question? No. What are
you doing? I'm heating up water and standing
molecules. But why? Because I'm making you tea
because I love you. Why is a much
more profound
question
than what. Science can never give you the
why.
It can give you how, and possibly what,
but not why.
