May your friend’s eyes be opened to our Lord.Right, and this could all be an illusion, like The Matrix. But the fact we’re even aware of the possibility implies we do know, or have known, the real truth as it is in itself. People like your friend are the reason why someone invented the word sophomore. The “strength” of his position is that no matter what argument you come up with, he can always dismiss it with “but you may be wrong”. So maybe the best thing to do would be to take him seriously and actually live out the implications of his Philosophy-101 radical skepticism. Go out with him for a burger or something and deliberately leave him behind. If he has a problem with it say something like “you could be an illusion for all we know” - that sort of thing. Suddenly it won’t be so funny.
By the way, Hokie, can you prove that human reason is limited?a big part of Faith is believing things that can’t be fully explained by our limited human reasoning.
Umm… we’re only human?
