Part Three
Theology Proper: 16 PHILOSOPHICAL ARGUMENTS FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker

Kant, in his Critique of Pure Reason, followed in Hume’s footsteps and contended further that we cannot legitimately argue from the facts of sense experience to that which transcends sense experience, or in other words, the fact that every event must have a cause applies only to the world of our sense experience: we cannot know whether it applies outside the realm of empirical knowledge. This, of course, is the position of agnosticism. Kant also argued that we have no way of knowing when we have arrived at the first cause. These conclusions of Hume and Kant derive largely from their epistemology, or their theory of knowledge.
