Can We Trust Our Minds?

Here is an interesting line of thinking which casts doubt on the trustworthiness of our minds if naturalism is true and there is no God…

“Can we trust our minds if we’re merely products of naturalistic evolution trying to fight, feed, flee, and reproduce? Darwin himself was deeply troubled by this: ‘With me the horrid doubt always arises whether the convictions of man’s mind, which has been developed from the mind of the lower animals, are of any value or at all trustworthy. Would any one trust in the convictions of a monkey’s mind, if there are any convictions in such a mind?’” – Paul Copan, Passionate Conviction
