Evidential Apologetics and the Decline of Western Civilization
Evidential apologetics is greatly to blame for the decline of western civilization because it presents the one and only self-existing Christian Trinitarian God and His self-authenticating Bible as a possible, though highly probable, source of truth rather than the necessity of them being so.
It has further aided to this decline by setting hostile fallen man as the judge of whether God exists and whether the Bible reveals ultimate truth or not by presenting evidence to prejudiced people who are, by nature and nurture, already enemies of God.
Presenting ultimate truth as a probability is the very essence of relativistic humanism, and seals the fate of Biblical Christianity in people’s mind by affirming the possibility that it may not be true to unbelievers. Ironically, evidential apologetics carry the seeds of the destruction of Biblical Christianity by suggesting Biblical Christianity may not be true.
Presuppositional apologetics is the only valid way to present Biblical Christianity because, in its very essence, it begins and ends with the necessity of its own truth, for in denying its self-attesting veracity, you undermine the very essence of proof itself. In other words, if Biblical Christianity is not true, you cannot prove anything at all which is exactly what relativistic humanism wants you to believe.
