Quote by Phillip E. Johnson
If modernist naturalism were true, there would be no objective truth outside of science. In that case right and wrong would be a matter of cultural preference, or political power, and the power already available to modernists ideologies would be overwhelming.
Summary
This quote highlights the implications of modernist naturalism, suggesting that if this worldview were valid, objective truth would be limited to the realm of science. Consequently, moral values such as what is considered right and wrong would be subjective, influenced by cultural preferences or political power. The quote further argues that modernist ideologies already possess a considerable degree of power, and if they were the sole determiners of truth and morality, this power would become even more dominant.
