No Brute Facts

In our debates with unbelievers, we as Christians need to drill into our own thinking that there is no such thing as a neutral or uninterpreted fact.

Both sides are looking at the same facts!

Both live in the same world, surrounded by the same stuff.

The difference is each side is looking through different eye-glasses to interpret this stuff.

The Christian looks through the eye-glasses of God's revelation to interpret the facts.

The unbeliever looks through the eye-glasses of his own sinful reasoning to interpret the facts.

At the end of the road, the Christians beliefs [as they are consistent with God's word] will be in harmony with his overall view of reality.

The unbelievers beliefs are not consistent with his overall view of reality.

The unbeliever has to actually borrow from God's view of reality to get any of his beliefs off of the ground.

Atheism presupposes Theism!
