1. The
negative claim has already been stated, that man is incapable of knowing
anything outside the realm of natural phenomena. This is in itself a very dogmatic
statement about that which is supposed to be beyond man’s ability to know. How
can agnostics have such sure knowledge that man cannot know? What proofs do
they have? Their claim vitiates the whole life and ministry of Jesus Christ and
of those who gave us the Bible. We have the record, substantiated by historical
facts, that God came down from the supersensible sphere to the sensible, that
God was manifested in the flesh, that He was seen, and was handled and observed
by many witnesses, many of whom were skeptical and unbelieving until they had
had presented to their senses physical and visible evidences. The agnostic must
dismiss this whole historical record as simply legend and myth, and to be
consistent he must dismiss all history as such. Further the agnostic must deny
to God omnipotence, His basic attribute, in denying His ability to reveal
Himself to man.
