104 FACTS MOST PEOPLE DON’T KNOW ABOUT RATIONAL THOUGHT:
1. Why is the world crazy? The whole world honors an insane way of thinking without absolute truth.
2. Godless thinkers have had to face Agrippa’s Trilemma, which shows why Godless thinking can never come to an absolute conclusion. This means they can never be certain of any of their claims.
3. In John 3:19-21, Jesus stated the reason they stubbornly persist in their atheism.
4. There are three possible sources for claims: human error, demonic entities, and God. Only God has truth.
5. There is no truth outside of Christ.
6. Christ is the light of the world.

16. Ungodly thinkers are stuck with bare assertions and a plethora of smokescreen fallacies.
17. Rational thought must be based on truth, but secularists have no path to truth. Secularists can only escape this problem by turning to Christ. Pray for them.
18. Have you noticed how ungodly people love to argue? Since they think their bare claims are valid, they have no limits.
19. Since ungodly thinkers can’t argue rationally, they argue irrationally.
20. Wherever truth is challenged, Christ is challenged.
21. Christ is truth and wisdom. There is no other source.
22. Christ is truth and wisdom. There is no other source, but many counterfeits exist.

33. Without divine revelation, it’s impossible to have a true premise. Without a true premise, it’s impossible to be rational.
34. Assumptions are claims that are made-up but treated as if they were part of reality.
35. Divine revelation: the only way to avoid fallacies.
36. In the Nye-Ham Debate, Bill Nye asserted that assumptions are equal to observations. Ken Ham asserted that an observation is very different from an assumption.
37. Speculative science and speculative theology: both are dangerous.
38. The argument from ignorance fallacy is used a lot, but it’s just a sneaky way to give the illusion that speculations are part of reality.
39. Assumptions come out of worldviews, and worldviews give the illusion of reality while filtering out real reality.
40. The truth-value of a statement can be true, false, or null (unknown).
41. To say that a statement is true when it’s unknown is irrational. Yet, that’s generally the way assumptions are used in science.
42. Give an example of one kind of living thing ( like a cat of dog) turning into another kind of living thing. To say there are countless examples is not an example.
43. You’d be surprised how many people claim, based on bare assertion, that God doesn’t reveal truth to those who will listen to Him.
44. Don’t fall into the axiomatic thinking fallacy trap.
45. No one can prove Naturalism true. It’s just a made-up story.
46. The only alternative to the axiomatic thinking fallacy is divine revelation.

54. How would a secularist prove any premise to be true? They would need another premise to prove that, but they can’t prove that premise true either.
55. Rational thought requires true premises. That’s a problem for ungodly thinkers. It’s not a problem for those who know Christ. He is the truth and the only Source of knowledge and truth.
56. But sanctify [purify] the Lord God in your hearts [innermost being], and be ready always to give an answer [apologia = rational response] to every man who asks you a reason [logos = utterance = Christ] of the hope [firm vision from God] that is in you [your innermost being] with meekness [a gentle spirit] and fear [reverence]. 1 Peter 3:15

76. Even though Scripture is so saturated with the Spirit of Christ that we can’t avoid hearing His voice if we read the Bible, secularists are well able to harden themselves against Him.
