In the previous audio lecture, Surrendra Gangadean (pastor at Westminster Fellowship and philosophy professor) argued that some things are clear to reason. Specifically, the basic things about God and man and good and evil are clear to reason. The opposite of “some things are clear” is “nothing is clear.” This is the loss of all meaning. It is fun to observe how no one wants to lose all meaning. One way a nihilist might do this is by equivocating on the word “meaning.” But that just proves Surrendra’s point. It proves that the nihilist has lost meaning, even the meaning of “meaning.” In these lectures we can say that this is “cognitive meaning.” In this sense we are able to distinguish concepts. We can distinguish between what is and what isn’t. We begin with the most basic distinctions and then move on to less basic distinctions like gradients of paint color. An example is the clear distinction between “beginning” and “without beginning.” In this next lecture Surrendra looks at this distinction and the argument to show that something must be eternal:
