Digital Verbum Edition
To some, the concept of having faith in a higher power or a set of religious beliefs is nonsensical. Indeed, many view religion in general, and Christianity in particular, as unfounded and unreasonable.
Norman Geisler and Frank Turek argue, however, that Christianity is not only more reasonable than all other belief systems, but is indeed more rational than unbelief itself. With conviction and clear thinking, Geisler and Turek guide readers through some of the traditional, tested arguments for the existence of a creator God. They move into an examination of the source of morality and the reliability of the New Testament accounts concerning Jesus. The final section of the book deals with a detailed investigation of the claims of Christ. This volume will be an interesting read for those skeptical about Christianity, as well as a helpful resource for Christians seeking to articulate a more sophisticated defense of their faith.
“A self-defeating statement is one that fails to meet its own standard.” (Page 39)
“Truth can also be defined as ‘that which corresponds to its object’ or ‘that which describes an actual state of affairs.’” (Page 37)
“In fact, we humans have a fatal tendency to try to adjust the truth to fit our desires rather than adjusting our desires to fit the truth.” (Page 32)
“The process of lining up premises in an argument and arriving at a valid conclusion is called deduction.” (Page 64)
“This method of drawing general conclusions from specific observations is called induction (which is commonly equated with the scientific method).” (Page 64)
If you're still a skeptic after reading I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist, then I suspect you're living in denial
