We have little of Bavinck in (Brazilian) Portuguese, I am grateful to be able to watch this forum, I would like to have more access to the theological-philosophical thinking of the author.
14:00 Bravinck doesnt use induction for his argumentation. Question, does it seem reasonable to assume humans through observed reality and observed causal relations would think it is intuitive to hold reality works that way? Meaning the nature of reality acts the same as we experience it. That also assumes a realist position regarding our experience which tells us something direct of reality.
21:00 Absolute - Assume meaning necessarily true or true due to no contradiction. Now the universe may have started off as arational but it is logically possible that from simple structures to complex structures rationality has emerged. Now this is assumed true and is logically possible unless there is an internal contradiction or refutation offered for that view. Holding dogmatically that intelligibility is necessarily true would required the above worldview to be refuted.
Knowing sounds like Taoism, just being is not thinking or knowing about being but to be. Direct realism is that we experience reality directly and that experience is to know directly without some justificatory path. If that is true then one that doesnt experience God is true to reality follows necessarily that God doesnt exist, the christian God that is.
This is fantastic!!! I'm loving the new wave of Bavinck scholarship.
Really appreciate this talk, and the Reformed Forum. Peace of GOD to all.

Finally, an American who can pronounce 'Edinburgh' correctly.
