Now that truth exists, how do we find it? This chapter explores what makes a belief reasonable and sets the criteria the rest of the book will use.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.The authors argue that we should believe whatever is most reasonable given the evidence — that we should proportion our confidence to the strength of the case. Does this sound obvious, or does it challenge assumptions you've held about faith?
2.Geisler and Turek introduce the idea that we need to use reason and evidence to evaluate competing worldviews. What are the four worldview options they identify (Theism, Pantheism, Atheism, and Agnosticism), and what distinguishes each?
3.The authors emphasize that a good worldview must be logically consistent, empirically adequate, and existentially relevant. Think of a belief you hold. How does it fare when tested against these three criteria?
