Threefold Apologetic Argument for Christ

[...]

Murder, Rape Robbery and Theft are not constant. [...]But, I think the argument for Christ’s ethics is a little more nuanced than “Morals must need God to exist.” It’s that God’s morals work, that’s the argument. Not that they need God. And then the fact that morals aren’t agreed upon, and many people suffer for it, that’s why there needs to be an ultimate judge.

Personally, I think morals are self evident, and I think they’ll be discovered to be so some day, based on objective metrics of how sound a society was.

But, with the argument from design, I was just musing on the geometry of Calculus the other day, how Sine reduces to Pi because it’s based on the radius of a circle—like radians—and the area underneath the shape can describe real things, which on an XY graph shows quadratic natures—and that the Rate of Change is used to describe the slight nuances of a curve. And the fact that all of this works, and number describes it exactly, down to the very slightest fraction or even imaginary number—as that has its uses in engineering too—it’s just obvious to me there is design. How does number exist? It’s a law, and the same law of ratios describes everything. Geometry relates to different things in the world, even Gravity can be described by Parabolas on a Quadratic graph.

I mean… to me it’s not about “Fine Tuning” but about the language of the universe. That things exist in real substance. And that’s what my faith is based on, is that substance. That there is real stuff beneath everything, and it allows us to understand our world in comprehensible ways. And I think that language proves there’s a designer. How I get to Christ, is His ethics, which seems to have been proven time and time again, and they seem more common sense to me than anyone else’s. Christ was wiser than 10 sages and that’s enough for me to believe in Him.

And then you add the fact that the Gospels can be established as witnesses, and you can see Christ actually did fulfill Messianic Prophecy. That’s too much evidence for me. Personally. But, my faith isn’t based in blindness, but rather the evidence of things unseen, and the substance of things hoped for.
