Compulsion to Closure (CtoC)
"For classical Christian theism, intelligibility is guaranteed by the infinite Logos. Reason Himself spoke the world into being, endowing it with real, dependable order. Because God is infinite and man is finite, our knowledge is necessarily asymptotic: we may approach true, objective understanding of creation, but we never circumscribe the infinite Mind of the Maker. Humility and mystery sit comfortably alongside rigorous scientific inquiry because the cosmos is open to its transcendent Ground.
For scientism, however, the PSR has been perverted into a
When that closed system crashes into the undeniable reality of conscious experience (what David Chalmers famously termed the “hard problem“), the secular apparatus panics. Kimpton-Nye admits the failure of the mechanistic model with surprising candor:
“However closely we look at the physical matter that makes up conscious beings, we get no closer to understanding how consciousness arises. Leibniz encouraged us to imagine increasing the size of the human brain to the size of a mill so that we can walk around inside it and observe all its working parts in meticulous detail. If we did this, at no point would we observe conscious experience.” CEH
