Every worldview needs a foundation; without it everything built on top collapses into uncertainty. Christian theism stakes its claim on a necessary, personal source: God.
Logic Needs a Grounding
Logic isn’t a human invention; it’s an immaterial framework that governs every argument, every equation, every rational step we take. If logic has no grounding, why trust it? Only a mind that is both transcendent and rational can account for logic’s immutability. You cannot reason about logic unless you admit something, or Someone, precedes it.
Morality Points Beyond Material Causes
We know deep down that some things are right and others wrong, not by consensus but by conscience. Naturalism can describe moral feelings; it cannot justify them. Objective moral duties demand an objective moral Lawgiver. Without God moral values collapse into preference or power—neither of which commands universal authority.
Fine-Tuning Demands Explanation
The universe’s physical constants sit in a razor-thin window that permits life. Chance offers no account for such precision; blind necessity cannot explain mathematical elegance. A personal Designer explains purposeful calibration. When every dial aligns perfectly, pointing to intelligent intention makes more sense than cosmic accident.
Consciousness Defies Reduction
Material processes rearrange particles; they do not generate self-aware subjectivity. If your mind is nothing more than neurons firing, why trust its verdict on reality? Consciousness demands a conscious source. A divine Mind frames how our thoughts correspond to truth rather than illusion.
History Records an Extraordinary Claim
Among all religions, Christianity stakes its credibility on the historical resurrection of Jesus. If that event occurred despite hostile witnesses and overwhelming skepticism, it confirms God entering history to reveal Himself. The empty tomb, the transformed lives, the rapid spread of the early church—all cohere around one claim: God rose from the dead.
Where Does This Leave Us?
So ask yourself: do you have a reason for reason, a purpose for purpose? If you seek an answer grounded in something more than chance or abstraction, Christian theism stands ready to provide it—locating mystery in a Person.
