agreement on basis for truth is foundation to any conversation or philosophy

principle of non-contradiction; principle of causality

any proposition must be free of internal contradictions (this is an assumption)

for everything there must be a reason a cause; everything needs a sufficient reason why it's true

faith

agnostic

without knowledge

show it is self-defeating: how much don't you know?

because it should lead to an openness to the possibility of theism

demonstrate evidence for the Christian God; encourage investigation

there are no absolutes whatever you believe is true for you; everything is relative to individual experience

law of non-contradition: everything is relative is an absolute

casuality: implies sufficient reason why everything is relevant; non-contradictions: implies it isn't contraditory but it is so other things might be true

that theistic answer is just as good and even better than desism especially with problem of evil

the existence of revelation: plausible & possible; the deity of Christ: predictive prophesy Christ as God-->intervention

not all religions can be true

demonstrate key problems regarding reincarnation view of afterlife no answer to problem of evil caste system view of women fatalistic passivity

the Bible

legalistic

legalistic; Messianic prophesy

refute from Bible

show it is putting experience over the Bible

the lack of human responsibility clearluggests that God is responsible; thus God is actually evil

agree it is wrong and not what Christ taught

classical evidentialist and presuppositional

ontological teleological (design) cosmological scientific

we can think of God therefore He exists

we cannot deduce the existence of a being from the idea of that being; involves untrue premises & faulty logic

presence of order in the universe reques the existence of an orderer

Paley's watch

"""design"" needs to be defined; involves special pleading (God made the world but not evil); anthropic principle; what makes watch stand out?; doesn't lead to biblical monotheism"

as inductive argument which points to the presence of a designer as one of the more likely explanations for apparent design

survive arrive

considers why anything exists; Uncaused Cause

universe had a beginning otherwise it would be total chaos by now; universe is expanding not oscillating (big bang)

special pleading: why doesn't God need a cause?; infinity doesn't need initial cause; shows problems with naturalism but can't prove existence of God

inductive approach similar to courtroom evidence showing most probable explanation

historical argument: Bible is historically reliable Bible teaches Jesus claimed to be God; Lord Liar Lunatic

fulfilled prophesy empty tomb rise of Christianity Christian martyrs

"can't provide historicity of gospels 100% lack secular correlation; empty tomb is argument from silence; Lord Liar Lunatic is more helpful to deal with ""good man"" theory; some evidentialists misquote authorities"

strengthens faith of Christians; fulfilled prophesy is most useful for non-Christians; pre-evangelism: create curiosity & deal with misconception that there is no evidence for Christianity

everyone has certain presuppositions which often contradict their claimed worldview

help people discover their presuppositions push them to their logical conclusion & show how Christian worldview is more consistent with their presuppositiosn

it is confrontative so only use where resistence is already present or in public speaking; can be hard for people to understand

the railroad rock illustration

1970s on; truth is relative based on perspective; starts w/I; emphasizes culture; anti-foundational; not possible to know absolute truth

no objective morality; evangelism is uncool; beliefs are a product of complicated factors; love personal stories

challenges the arrogance of modernism; more open minded to non-rigorous types of thinking; sensitive to diverse cultures; recognizes human understanding is limited

based on false antithesis; self-contradictory; no basis for handling moral issues; redefine tolerance to mean agreement

either we can know something completely or we can't know it truly at all

we can only know a slice of truth because of our limited vantage point

true but Someone can know & tell us (revelation)

is it possible for finite beings to know some things truly even if not completely

if God exists & has spoken this changes everything; will you listen?

useless for finite mind to describe infinite god

inconsistent gods created out of existing materials ppl came from different body parts of brahma

no distinction b/w creator & creation

inconsistent: heaven or hell based on works; release from desire leading to oneness with god

determines next life based on works

follow the 8fold path

educate on what the religion teaches & how inconsistent it is with logic

karmic fatalism & asceticism reincarnation & nirvana

this life is a just retribution for past lives thus helping poor is messing w/karma

way to work off bad karma b/c desire is evil; doesn't fit w/American materialism & sensuality
