Music Monday: Face Down

Leave a comment

We’re going back in time today, to a song which has a lot of significance to me in my own Christian journey back when I lived in England. This is Matt Redman’s “Face Down”:

Welcomed in to the courts of the King
I’ve been ushered into your presence
Lord I stand on your merciful ground
Yet with every step tread with reverence

And I’ll fall facedown
As your glory shines around
Yes I’ll fall facedown
As your glory shines around

Who is there in the heavens like you?
And upon the earth who’s your equal?
You are far above you’re the highest of heights
We are bowing down to exalt you

So let your glory shine around!
Let your glory shine around!
King of glory here be found!
King of glory!

Spot the logical fallacy…

So it turns out that the actor James Franco likes to talk philosophy! I recently watched a video of him talking to a lady named Liz Harman on the subject of abortion.

Now, I try to be charitable when speaking about those who hold different views from my own. However, I have to say, having heard many arguments in favour of abortion, this lady presents one of the dumbest arguments I’ve ever heard!

She clearly commits one of the most basic logical fallacies out there: the circular argument. The really shocking thing, though, is that she teaches philosophy at Princeton University! To quote a far wiser teacher, “Logic! Why don’t they teach them logic in these schools?”
