Relying on Our Senses Makes Us Less Certain, Not More

Summary

This sermon explores the limitations of empiricism and inductive reasoning in achieving absolute certainty. It references philosophical concepts like induction, scientific laws, and John Locke's "tabula rasa" to illustrate how relying solely on sense experience can lead to uncertainty and paradigm shifts. The practical takeaway is that true certainty often lies beyond empirical observation, and we should be aware of the inherent limitations of knowledge derived solely from sensory input.
