“It has often been noted that common sense is not as common as the term would lead us to believe. This has been particularly true in recent decades, it seems. Many have begun to question whether we can know anything about the world with real trustworthiness. That philosophy results in skepticism and despair. Others, to the contrary, argue that our Creator made us to be knowers—that our senses and minds were designed to provide us with reliable information about the world. Theirs is a call to return to common sense.”
