In my debate with Ben Wallis I answered the following in response to a series of questions asked of me during the cross-examination period. “It is correct that I believe that in their heart-of-hearts everyone believes that God exists…I apologize for the poetic language. Belief in God is a first-order belief of everyone; every human…I [...]
Refusing Antithetical Assumptions
We make our gods unknowable entities. The God of the Bible is knowable. Throughout all of Scripture God never presumes Himself to be unknown or unknowable but rather known.

An Argument For Agreus
One might deny that laws of logic exist, but not without presupposing the laws of logic (i.e. the law of non-contradiction). Since the affirmation of a proposition implies the falsehood of its contradictory, the denial of the laws of logic is self-refuting. The possibility of rational inference presupposes the laws of logic (i.e. identity; non-contradiction), [...]
