Short description
Selected similar features concerning waking and dreaming renders it plausible that a dream could appear as genuine reality. Descartes argues that similar thoughts men have while awake can occur while asleep--it is plausible that a dream could feel real, then, for all men know, we are dreaming. I contend that Christian ontology that extend from it provide a means to discern reality from a dream.Extended description
Certain aspects of waking and dreaming indicate that it is conceivable that a dream may seem like genuine reality. Descartes argues that similarity between thoughts men have while awake can also transpire while one is dreaming. For all men know, there might not be a real world men consider “actual.” Christian ontology and its presuppositions supply the rational operational features needed to discern the difference between dreaming and genuine reality. Ontology matters and Christian ontological commitments to God must be maintained. An apologetics paper.Tags
