 | Chesterton begins chapter 9 with a summary of what he has recently said. He has set the stage for his conclusion. He has pointed out the oddities of extremes in Christianity, the inadequacy of materialism and pantheism, and some accusations against Christianity. He now concludes that the whole case for Christianity relies on hundreds of small facts and observations like the ones he has mentioned that just so happen to align with reality. Chesterton acknowledges that this is a perfectly legitimate route to knowledge, and in fact, may be the best route. In fact, it is generally the route the agnostics and atheists take as well. There isn’t usually one knock down argument for anything – and if there is, a whole system can be overthrown if the one argument is defeated. |
