Demolition and Presuppositional Apologetics

Dr Greg Bahnsen in part 1 of a series on Apologetics suggested that it was possible to start from anywhere or anything to prove the truth of Christianity. Why, because apart from the truth of God it is not possible to prove anything at all. I wanted to do a final post on the demolition of the Granada Cinema but also wanted to test what Dr Bahnsem said. He even suggested Ballet. Like him I know nothing about Ballet and probably not much more about demolition. One thing I do know about demolition is the importance of Gravity. Last week I watched what would be the final day for the old Granada. With camera to hand I waited for a shot that would show the rubble falling to the ground. I think it would have been asking a lot to wait for the rubble to fall or rather rise upwards into the sky. In the picture you can clearly see the rubble falling. What if someone were to come back at me and say, ‘wait a minute, how do I know that picture has not been doctored and really the rubble is going up into the sky’ most people would think they were having a laugh. How do we know rubble falls to the ground. I’m not a scientist but I do know there is a universal law governing our environment on Earth that ‘whatever goes up must come down’. OK, without boring you further it would be perfectly reasonable to ask where these laws have come from. And, why the same applies wherever we are on the Planet. God created and maintains these laws – simple really.

But there’s sure to be someone who will speak about particles floating all around us and so this so-called universal law is not true at all and neither is your God that made them. In that case let’s go up to the top of the Post Office tower in London and you can throw yourself off in the belief that it will be all right as you will gently float to the bottom. I don’t think so, and neither do you! In other words, you may disagree with a Universal Law but you will not live by your own belief. You would prefer to live by the Laws of my God and my belief.

Don’t be too hard on me – it’s a first attempt. 🙂
