You're going to be. Oh, oh, oh, oh, friends. Greg Kockel here, your host for Stan II Reason.

Now, what is this, my 33rd year, 34th year, I lose track.

The numbers get so high, it's hard to keep things in order here but glad to be here with you

and talking with you about things that are important I am convinced that the

Christian worldview properly understood and properly articulated can

compete in the marketplace of ideas.

That is actually an understatement.

I think the contrary ideas to the Christian worldview cannot hold a candle to the understanding of reality that Christianity provides.

And the reason I say that is because it seems to me that in many cases this is demonstrable that the things that

Christianity teaches about the nature of reality resonates with our deepest

intuitions about the way the world is. You don't need a Bible for that. All you have to do is observe.

For example, everybody knows there's a problem of evil. Everybody knows something's wrong with the world. It doesn't matter where you, where you live or when you lived. We all know that something's wrong.

Now, assessing what is wrong, this is going to be different with different philosophical

religious points of view, but notice simply everybody knows something's wrong.

Something is a miss, all right? That cannot be the

case if there is no God.

Because to say that the world, something's wrong with the world, is to say that the world is not the way it's supposed to be.

But you can't have a way the world is supposed, not supposed to be, but you can't have a way the world is not supposed to be unless you have a way the world is supposed to be and you can't have reckoning of the world says something is wrong

with the world then that means there is a right way for the world to be, which it is not.

But if there's a right way for the world to be, then someone has determined the way the world is supposed to be.

So no atheistic view of reality

can make sense of what I just described.
