Introduction
Both "radical skepticism and scientism are crucial in the field of philosophy. Given the
ideologies of external world skepticism with problems, there is a universe or world other than the
physical ones where we get a life. In addition, scientism depends exclusively on the natural and
physical sciences to carry out assessments. Both relate as they all pay attention to the argument
that the physical presence of the world is important to the finding of the reality of the universe
itself. This paper will generally cover the topic of radical skepticism, also referred to as external
skepticism, which is the ability to filter knowledge. It means that everything in this world is
questionable unless supported by verifiable and solid evidence. The perception of knowledge as
unreliable is what is defined as scientism. However, both the philosophical arguments awaken
questions to those who discover the topic and can confuse those who discover it. Individuals
have questioned their beliefs by discovering these philosophical ideologies until they identify a
way to offer answers to these problems and challenges.
Radical Skepticism
Radical skepticism is defined as "the view that knowledge-most of it at any rate-is
impossible" (Coliva, 2021). Most philosophers argue that it is hard to truly believe any
information without factual evidence. Some of the examples of radical skepticism include; "if I
know I have hands, then I know I am not a handless brain-in-a-vat. I don't know I am not a
handless brain in a vat. Therefore, I don't know that I have hands". Similar to most radical
skepticism, opinions are very hard to offer an effective argument against. One can easily neglect
your answer or argument with even more hard questions. Even though it is hard to rebuttal, it can
have a believable argument. Many Christians perceive that God put His all creations on earth for
a purpose (Coliva, 2021).
