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.

This article unpacks why only the Christian worldview supplies the necessary preconditions of intelligibility—and why denying that ends in absurdity.

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.
