Reliability of Sense

A Broadcast with R.C. Sproul

 Humans typically trust their senses.  Despite the fact that we have all had our senses fooled from time to time, we assume that what we see, hear, taste and touch gives us accurate information about the world.  Yet some philosophers challenge this notion.  For example, the eighteenth century Scotsman David Hume challenged our perceptions of cause and effect.  In this lesson, Dr. Sproul addresses Hume’s ideas and reaffirms the reliability of sense perception.

Our Aim

God calls His people to be transformed by the renewing of their minds. This transformation of thinking God’s thoughts after Him is a daily pursuit. To aid you in this, Renewing Your Mind broadcasts a daily message and related resource offer that exposits the glories of God revealed in the Bible against the backdrop of culture, philosophy, apologetics, ethics, and church history. Think of it as bridging the gap between Sunday school and seminary—equipping you for the Christian life.
