Why I am an Unapologetic Biblical Christian
I am a Biblical Christian for one simple reason: reality makes no sense without Christ and we can’t know Him without the Word and the Spirit. Logic, morality, and meaning all collapse if there is no eternal mind grounding them. The Bible gives not just a story of faith, but the only framework where reason, history, and hope hold together.
Every manifestation of physical reality obeys the laws of logic. Nothing exists as both “A and not-A” in the same sense. This universal logical constraint demands explanation. Naturalism treats logic as a brute fact—an epistemic, ontic, and teleological dead end. Brute facts terminate inquiry, which science categorically denies. By contrast, if God is the ground of logic, explanation expands endlessly, because an infinite mind generates infinite rational depth. That’s why I reject the idea that logic “just is.” It is the structure of the Logos. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God.
I embrace science, but I refuse to confuse naturalistic assumptions with evidence. Claims like “we’re 98% chimp” fall apart under full-genome analysis; real similarity is closer to 84%, with massive structural differences that carry functional meaning. Design better explains why life is built on code-like systems, error correction, and forward-looking integration. Even leading chemists admit origin-of-life scenarios have failed after decades of research. Information, symbolic logic, and code never arise from chance—they always point to intelligence. And there’s no “unreasonable effectiveness” to mathematics.
Methodological designism simply allows science to consider all causation, not just the material slice.
The Bible is not a patchwork of contradictions but one grand plan unfolding from before creation and it predicts human behavior like no other material source. The Father, Son, and Spirit covenanted in eternity to display the full glory of Christ—through mercy and justice alike. Creation, fall, covenant, incarnation, cross, resurrection, and new creation are not disconnected tales. They are the single plotline of God’s eternal purpose. Unlike other worldviews, this story accounts for both our dignity and our corruption. Made in God’s image, we are free to love—but that very freedom makes rebellion necessary. Adam’s fall was no accident; it revealed what autonomous creatures always choose when left to themselves. Christ is the remedy, embodying both mercy for the repentant and justice for the defiant.
Critics often point to slavery or suffering as evidence against Christianity. But Scripture never sanctified injustice—it set the seeds for its undoing. God accommodated human hardness of heart while steadily pressing history toward freedom, dignity, and love fulfilled in Christ. The cross itself shows that God’s justice and mercy meet without compromise.
I’ve examined the evidence and drilled into the strongest arguments on both sides. I’ve read the primary sources, weighed the counterpoints, and tested them against reason and history. I’ve watched Dawkins, Hitchens, O’Connor, and others present their cases with all the rhetorical force they can muster. And after sifting through it, the pattern is unmistakable: the arguments for naturalism collapse under their own weight, while the case for Christian theism grows sharper the more it is pressed.
If naturalism is true, then logic, morality, and human dignity are illusions. If Christianity is true, they are grounded forever in God. Naturalism ends in epistemic suicide. Christianity ends in resurrection.
I am a Biblical Christian because only in Christ do reason, evidence, and hope cohere. The Logos who structured the cosmos stepped into history, rose from the grave, divided time, and offers life. Everything else is fragmented explanation and borrowed capital. That’s why my trust is in Him.
