The two fastest growing worldviews are materialism and secular humanism. The problem is that they cannot possibly both be true. Yet they are generally embraced by the same people. Christian Apologist Dan Arsenault exposes the inconsistency between the two views, and that secular humanism is a value system that is "borrowed" from Christianity, the very view that it opposes.

Christian apologetics is based on giving "reasonable answers" concerning the truth claims of both Christianity as well as the claims of other worldviews. The Apostle Paul was also very concerned with validating the truth of Christ and, in his words, "demolishing arguments and worldviews that are in opposition to the knowledge of Christ." The most damaging property of any philosophy is that it is "self refuting." That is, it cannot possibly be true.

How could a loving God command his people to commit genocide? Or did He?

Christian Apologetics deals with doubts. Everyone has doubts, because no one is omniscient! For the same reason, everyone has faith. It's a false dilemma to present faith as the enemy of reason. It's popular now to say that Facts don't care about your feelings! What that implies is that faith is nothing more than a feeling and therefore has no relevance to finding truth. It may sound smart but it's the statement that's not relevant! Church for Skeptics discusses the sources of doubt in this episode.

Christian Apologetics has always sought to balance reason and faith, considering both to be virtuous. This episode of Church for Skeptics will show that every Christian must rely on Reason, and every skeptic does have faith. The two are not mutually exclusive, and to say that they are is a false dichotomy. The Bible increases our faith, not by magic, but by Truth.

Christian apologetics is throughout the Bible, and Church for Skeptics seeks to distinguish reasonable faith from blind faith, and reasonable doubt from irrational skepticism. "Doubting Thomas" was reprimanded by Jesus because his doubt was more the result of a stubborn heart than a questioning mind.

It's tragic when people's doubts about the truth of Christianity are based on bad information. Some of the leading atheists attack Christianity from either being seriously misinformed or just neglecting to check their "facts." When the facts are made plain and well supported, the doubts just disappear. Herein is one of the important roles of Christian apologetics.

Why does it seem to us that when things go wrong, they really are wrong. Disease, death, disaster, and broken relationships are more than just what we don't like. We are angry, frustrated, and broken because they really are wrong. They should not be. Christian apologetics and the Bible take this issue head on, as all worldviews must do.

The most basic requirement for any worldview is "possibility." Can it possibly be true? One step away is the issue of plausibility. If possible, how likely is the claim to actually be true. From a Christian apologist's viewpoint, let's turn the spotlight on the popular worldview of Naturalism. Is it possible that the only thing that exists is matter, and therefore that everything MUST be explained by natural causes? And IF Naturalism were true, could we possibly know that?
