Peter Kreeft debates the argument from desire - Unbelievable?
Playback speed
CS Lewis said "If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world."
Peter Kreeft is a philosophy professor and well know Christian thinker and writer. He defends the "argument from desire". Does our experience of transcendent longing indicate that there is a God to satisfy it?
Atheist philosopher Richard Norman says that the argument amounts to wish-fulfillment.
