What Is the Argument from Reason, and How Does It Destroy Atheism?

If your brain is just a swirl of atoms bumping into each other, why trust anything it tells you? That’s not a rhetorical question—it’s the fatal flaw at the heart of naturalism. In this article, I unpack the Argument from Reason, a devastating challenge to atheistic materialism famously advanced by C. S. Lewis. Drawing from Lewis, Paul Gould, and presuppositional heavyweights like Van Til and Bahnsen, I make the case that reason itself—your ability to think, reflect, and infer—only makes sense in a world created and governed by the God of Scripture.

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.
