Mere Christianity E4 - What Lies Behind the Law

In this episode of 'Leading Inward the Classical Book Club, the hosts explore Lewis's argument that facts alone cannot determine the existence of a creator and delve into the definitions and differences between facts and laws. The conversation also covers the limitations of science in proving existence, the contrast between materialistic and religious worldviews, and why Lewis initially avoids directly addressing the God of the Bible. An analogy involving a postman is used to illustrate how our internal moral law points to a higher power. The episode concludes with scriptural references and an encouragement to find a balance between seeking knowledge and accepting divine purpose.
