Christ or Chaos: Why Only the Biblical Worldview Holds Up to Reality

If you say the world is an illusion but live like it isn’t—checking for trucks before crossing the street—you’ve already disproven your own worldview. Reality won’t let you pretend forever. Only the biblical worldview is comprehensible, coherent, and corresponds to reality. That’s why it’s not Christ or reason, it’s Christ or chaos.

"Why Do You Believe In God, When Science Contradicts Him?"

Can atheists account for the laws of science they rely on? In this hard-hitting article, Joel Settecase shows why every scientific experiment presupposes the God of the Bible. From fossils to falling coffee cups, discover how science only makes sense in a world created and upheld by Jesus Christ—and why atheism is standing on nothing. A must-read for Christian men who want to think biblically and defend their faith confidently.

The Pot, the Preconditions, and the Problem with Atheism

Atheism borrows tools it can’t explain. In this debate, I challenged an agnostic atheist to account for logic, science, and morality without God—and when pressed, he had to invent universe-making aliens. This article unpacks why only the Christian worldview supplies the necessary preconditions of intelligibility—and why denying that ends in absurdity.

Drawing from a presuppositional, Reformed framework, Joel exposes the fatal weaknesses in secular reasoning and lays out the clear, biblical foundation for truth, knowledge, and rational thought. This article isn’t a recap—it’s a rallying cry for Christians to stand firm in their worldview and challenge unbelief at its root.

“Why Do You Believe In God?” Because Atheists Have to Steal From My Worldview to Make Sense of Theirs

Atheists often accuse Christianity of being illogical, anti-scientific, or morally backward—but to make those claims, they have to borrow from the Christian worldview itself. In this article, Joel Settecase exposes how skeptics climb into God's lap to slap Him in the face—relying on logic, morality, and science that only make sense if the Bible is true. If you've ever wanted to understand how to push back against these challenges with confidence and clarity, this one's for you.

Why Do You Believe In God, When We Have the Principle of Sufficient Reason?

When an agnostic tried to ground logic and knowledge in the Principle of Sufficient Reason instead of the triune God, I showed why that foundation crumbles under its own weight. Only the God of the Bible provides the necessary preconditions for intelligibility—and without Him, you’re left with floating concepts and borrowed capital. Here’s how the debate unfolded—and why presuppositional apologetics still stands undefeated.
