As a world view, Darwinism cannot of course be refuted, since Faith is, always has been, and always will be, stronger than facts.
Host: The living room was quiet, the evening settling in with a peaceful stillness. Outside, the world had grown darker, and the gentle glow of the streetlights filtered through the window. Inside, Jack sat in his favorite chair, a book open in his lap, but his thoughts seemed to be elsewhere. Jeeny sat across from him, a cup of tea in her hands, sensing the quiet shift in the air, waiting for the right moment to share her thoughts.
Jeeny: (breaking the silence, her voice calm yet filled with curiosity) “You know, Francis Parker Yockey once said, ‘As a world view, Darwinism cannot of course be refuted, since Faith is, always has been, and always will be, stronger than facts.’”
(She paused, her voice gentle but probing.) “What do you think he meant by that? About faith being stronger than facts?”
Jack: (pausing, his voice reflective as he considered the words) “I think he’s speaking to the tension between scientific understanding and faith. Darwinism, as a scientific theory, is based on evidence, observation, and facts. But faith, in a broader sense, is something that goes beyond facts. Faith is rooted in belief, in the unseen, and often in things that can’t be measured or proven in the same way that scientific facts can.”
Jeeny: (nodding slowly, her voice steady) “Exactly. Faith is something deeply personal and often transcends rationality. It’s not always about the facts; it’s about what people believe in, even when there’s no tangible evidence. Yockey’s pointing out that, no matter how much evidence we may have, faith can be a more powerful driving force for people. It shapes their worldview, their actions, and their beliefs, regardless of the facts.”
Jack: (smiling faintly, his tone becoming lighter now) “It’s an interesting point, isn’t it? That no matter how strong the evidence for something like Darwinism might be, there are still people who will prioritize their faith over those facts. Faith has a way of shaping our understanding of the world that goes beyond logic and evidence.”
Jeeny: (gently, her voice full of understanding) “Yes, and I think that’s what makes faith so powerful. It’s not constrained by the limits of facts or evidence. Faith can inspire action, influence entire movements, and shape the course of history, even in the face of contrary facts. It’s what gives people the strength to believe in something greater, even if it can’t be proven.”
Jack: (nodding thoughtfully, his voice growing more introspective) “And yet, the relationship between faith and science isn’t always simple. There’s often a tension, especially when people feel that science and facts contradict their beliefs. But I think Yockey’s right in saying that, at a certain level, faith has the power to shape our worldview in ways that go beyond rational or empirical thinking.”
Jeeny: (smiling softly, her voice calm) “Exactly. And maybe that’s why faith is so enduring. It’s not limited by what we know. It’s about possibilities, potential, and belief in something greater than what can be physically seen or scientifically measured.”
Host: The room felt quieter now, the weight of Yockey’s words hanging in the air. Faith, as he saw it, was something that went beyond facts — something more powerful and enduring than logic alone. Jack and Jeeny shared a moment of understanding, realizing that while science and evidence can explain much of the world, faith provides a different kind of truth — one that is personal, profound, and often transcends the limitations of the visible world.
Jack: (softly, with a sense of clarity) “I think I understand now. Faith isn’t about facts or evidence. It’s about what we believe, and that belief can shape how we see the world, regardless of what we know or don’t know.”
Jeeny: (nodding, her voice full of quiet understanding) “Exactly. Faith has the power to define our reality, even when the facts might not align. It’s what helps us move forward, make choices, and find meaning.”
Host: The night outside had fully settled in, but inside, there was a quiet realization that faith and facts could exist in parallel, each holding its own form of power. While facts could shape our understanding of the world, faith shaped the way we approached it, believed in it, and lived through it. In that understanding, there was peace — the peace that comes from knowing that some truths are felt, not seen.
