Bartley uses the history of Protestant Christianity ( Catholicism has never claimed to be rational ) as an example of a rational scientific world-view that turned itself into an irrational ideology in order to defend( save ) itself against modern science. This is the section that had the greatest impact on my life ( for the best ). I realized in order to be rational I had to give up my faith based ideas or forever resort to irrationally ( and dogmatically) held first principles to to defend my position.
No longer can religionists retreat back to 'faith' as a defense of their position. Notable examples of presuppositionalists who still ignore this critique are Alvin Platinga, Karl Barth ( any of the neo-orthodox really ) and the Reformed theologians following in the footsteps of Cornelius Van Til. Pannenberg and some others claim to take this critique seriously, but when you read them, they provide no strong evidence but instead, resort back to faith in the end. ( )
