Against Ignorance proposes a decidedly Christian answer to the solution of all of the world’s problems. This answer is admittedly true for all religions and also for all Churches. Every faith community has the opportunity to apply grammatically the method of Against Ignorance according to the rules of their religious faith. The light of religion, and the light of reason enters each faith community to allow the solution of all problems, personal, familial, and societal.
The debate about creation vs. science divides faith communities in North America. Reliance on Reason is skeptical, and finally atheism. Reliance on Creation denies reason, and ultimately metaphysics in favor of a final answer provided by the authority of God. Reason denies faith and faith denies reason.
Against Ignorance considers fundamental the scriptural verse where Jesus preaches heaven is metaphysical. (“Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.” Mat 13:24) In this way the grammar of faith enters into the grammar of reason. What is metaphysical comes not only from reason, or metaphysics, but also from faith, which is also metaphysical.
The unity of faith and reason reveals a method to allow creation and science to coexist. Because they both are metaphysical, or a “field where good seed is planted” each allows the work of the other. For example, creation preaches the world was created 10,000 years ago and no real existence preceded this event. Science teaches the fact of the planet’s creation which dates back at least 4.5 billion years. The debate, for this fact, is the exclusion of the one event vs. the other event.
Against Ignorance exactly concludes this debate, and for all time. Also, both sides win according to the solution from this methodology. Man (and woman) began life 10,000 years ago, however, they began life as metaphysical beings-in addition to being physical beings, and spiritual beings. The possibility for metaphysical action was created within this person. Within the possibility for metaphysical action this being was created to work. The work was not only physical, and spiritual, but metaphysical. And the science that guided this work was metaphysical also. The conclusion of the method of Against Ignorance is that metaphysical work extended in science is not finite, according to the rules of faith, but infinite, according to the rules of science. Therefore, there is not a contradiction between believing in a creation that took place 10,000 years ago, and the fact of a science that believes-for its sake the event is counted on an infinite scale for the sake of its own great work.
