Sye Ten Bruggencate: Be Careful Before You Give Evidence to an Atheist The Think Institute 2024-10-11 | In this video, we dive into the concept of presuppositional apologetics and how it contrasts with traditional methods. Sye Ten Bruggencate explains that both Christians and atheists interpret evidence based on their pre-existing beliefs or presuppositions. Rather than focusing on the evidence itself, Sye argues that the real issue lies in the foundational beliefs that shape our understanding of truth, logic, and reasoning. Without the acknowledgment of God's existence, Sye demonstrates that debates on evidence remain unresolved, as presuppositions drive conclusions more than objective analysis.Watch now to explore how presuppositional apologetics challenges conventional views of evidence and belief: youtube.com/watch?v=DVqPSj_fbEU----Are you a Christian man looking to dive deeper into theology and discipleship?

The Biblical Christian Worldview’s Metaphysics Make It BETTER than Other Religions The Think Institute 2024-10-04 | Understandng metaphysics, a key part of the biblical Christian worldview, is essential for engaging in apologetics. Join us for a deep dive into one of the most fundamental questions humanity has ever asked: What is really real?
