The Transcendental Argument for God (TAG) - Bahnsen vs Stein Debate

核心论证 Core Argument

逻辑规律(如矛盾律:某事物不能同时既是A又不是A)是普遍的、必然的、不变的。但在无神论的唯物主义世界观中,这些规律的存在无法得到解释。如果宇宙只是物质和能量的偶然组合,为什么会存在非物质的、普遍的、必然的逻辑规律?物质可以改变,但逻辑规律不变;物质是具体的,但逻辑规律是抽象的;物质是偶然的,但逻辑规律是必然的。 无神论者在使用逻辑来反对上帝存在时,实际上预设了一个他们的世界观无法解释的东西。这就是前设护教学的核心洞察:你反对上帝的工具(逻辑)本身就需要上帝来解释它的存在。正如巴恩森所说:"无神论者不是站在自己的地面上反对上帝——他是站在上帝的地面上反对上帝。" 基督教世界观为逻辑规律提供了自然的解释:逻辑规律反映了上帝理性本性的不变特征。上帝是全知的、理性的、不变的,逻辑规律是上帝思维方式的表达。因为上帝创造了人按他的形象,人天生就有逻辑推理的能力——但这种能力的基础在于上帝,而非自主的人类理性。 这个论证不是说无神论者不能使用逻辑(他们显然可以),而是说他们的世界观无法为逻辑的存在提供一致的解释。正如一个人可以在不知道氧气存在的情况下呼吸,无神论者可以在不承认上帝的情况下使用逻辑——但逻辑的存在条件仍然需要解释。

Laws of logic (e.g., the law of non-contradiction: something cannot be both A and not-A simultaneously) are universal, necessary, and invariant. But in atheistic materialism, these laws' existence cannot be explained. If the universe is merely an accidental arrangement of matter and energy, why do immaterial, universal, necessary logical laws exist? Matter changes, but logical laws don't; matter is particular, but logical laws are abstract; matter is contingent, but logical laws are necessary. When atheists use logic to argue against God's existence, they presuppose something their worldview cannot explain. This is presuppositional apologetics' core insight: the very tool you use against God (logic) requires God to explain its existence. As Bahnsen said: 'The atheist is not standing on his own ground to oppose God — he is standing on God's ground to oppose God.' The Christian worldview naturally explains logical laws: they reflect God's invariant rational nature. God is all-knowing, rational, and unchanging; logical laws express God's way of thinking. Because God created humans in His image, humans have innate logical reasoning ability — but this ability's foundation is in God, not autonomous human reason. This argument doesn't claim atheists cannot use logic (they obviously can) but that their worldview cannot provide a consistent explanation for logic's existence. Just as one can breathe without knowing oxygen exists, atheists can use logic without acknowledging God — but logic's existence conditions still require explanation.
