"Common" Science

Happy Thanksgiving!
...two days in advance
...and if you celebrate Thanksgiving

Before the mobs of confusion dramatically swoop us off our feet and take us into the land of hyperbole, let's turn our focus on the idea that apologetics is the opposite of what it is commonly portrayed as.

"Common science," (as discussed in Douglas Axe's book, Undeniable) is what it is. As Socrates would say, "I said what I said." Let's first talk about how apologetics is viewed in society. For one, it is not super likely to be walking down the street with gobs of people who can defend their faith. Apologetics has been given a sterotype, or label, or being "nerdy" or "not for them" or even simply "unnecessary." Imagine having two bubbles...a "normal-people" bubble and a "need a Ph. D" bubble. Many times, society places apologetics into the "need a Ph. D" bubble. This makes the subject feel distant and unneeded in our lives.

Let me tell you this: not only is apologetics super important...it is super simple. Don't believe me?

Last Friday, we discussed how everyone as an intuition that there is a supreme being. A god. For Christians, that being is God. For others, this could be other gods or whatever. You don't even have to be a Christian to believe that there must be a supreme being.

Today, I'll discuss how apologetics is not a challenging topic...but rather a simple, common topic. Common science.

If you have Undeniable, I greatly recommend quickly reading through his discussion on common science.

Let me encourage you to not shy away from defending your faith. It's not difficult. Why? Because God has given every single one of us an excellent defense: our intuition. What's more is that you're on the winning side. Don't be afraid to mess up. If you put your mind to it, you can make a difference.

Our country needs people to start speaking up and actively defending the faith. My goal through this blog is to help educate the general public in simple ways, "challenging" topics.

Thanks for reading, and as always, I'll see you next time!
