Atheism and modernism are presented as closely connected, rooted in an Enlightenment reaction that prioritizes science and rejects religious explanations. This outlook is seen as containing a contradiction: if there is no purposeful intelligence behind human existence, it becomes unclear how human reasoning can be trusted or why reality couldn’t be shaped subjectively.
This tension is described as leading to postmodern ideas that question truth, identity, and even biological definitions. Some defenders of scientific thinking push back against these extremes by appealing to biology and more traditional views, but this creates a conflict because postmodernism can also undermine the authority of science itself.
Mathematician Dr. William Dembski explains his view on postmodernism. Watch the full dialogue here: https://shorturl.at/GBUS6
