We examine Lewis's essay, originally entitled "Onward Christian Spacemen" by his publisher, but renamed by Walter Hooper, "The Seeing Eye." In our series, "The Evident, Evidence and Faith," we also addressed the issue of why some find God everywhere, and some find Him nowhere, why for some everything is evidence for His existence, and for some there is no evidence. The search for Reality, Truth and Beauty either draws us ever deeper into the glorious Mystery, or claims to dissipate it in the pretense of knowledge. The first attitude is that of Socrates and Western theism, the latter that of gnostic scientism and atheism, which pervades our socio-cultural world today.

When you've listened to this episode of No Compromise, be sure to listen to The Christian Atheist 82, and join us throughout this season as we continue to explore the ever-deepening Mystery that is our Great God.

Our next Lewis essay will be "The Poison of Subjectivism." We will have a Christian Atheist episode on Monday, followed by a discussion on No Compromise on Thursday. Please listen beforehand to our Simple Gifts reading of it, or read it on your own.
