Who Told You that You were Autonomous?
May 23, 2026
In Bobby Jamieson’s excellent book, “Everything is Never Enough,” Jamieson argues that humans are not autonomous because they depend on creation. Since people depend on forces outside themselves for survival, and because they did not create themselves and cannot sustain themselves, Jamieson says people are not their own. But the thesis of his book is that life is a gift from God. Are these two claims compatible? Dan says no.
