Does God Exist - Apologia Pt. 2




Apologetics

Systematic argumentative discourse in defense (as of a doctrine).
A branch of theology devoted to the defense of the divine origin and authority of Christianity.
 
The word ‘Apologetics’ comes from the root word – apologia (ap•o•lo•gia) – which means a defense; especially of one's opinions, position, or actions.

In order to observe a full defense of faith in God – there are some basic but somewhat philosophical questions that we should ask:


  1. Are there reasons for faith?
  2. Do scientists have faith?

  • Belief in something that is uncertain
  • Belief in presuppositions
  • Belief in a system of thought, a personal philosophy, or a worldview


Seeing the World Differently

What is a worldview?

  • A personal philosophy
  • A hypothesis about ultimate reality
  • A set of answers to fundamental life questions
