APOLOGETICS SESSION 1
Is Being a Christian Intellectually Reasonable?

Summary Answer:
Yes! Being a Christian is intellectually reasonable. In fact, the Christian worldview is more intellectually reasonable than atheism or any other worldview.

"While religion certainly requires faith, religion is not only about faith. Facts are also central to all religions because all religious worldview - including atheism - make truth claims, and many of those truth claims can be evaluated through scientific and historical investigation." -Geisler and Turek, I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist (page 23)
