Conversations with unbelief (Part 1)

(The following three part post is my recent folowup to my neighbor, briefly mentioned in the post "Ding Dong Yo".)

Hey neighbor,

I appreciated you talking with us on Saturday and I (Dan) really wanted to talk more, but we both had places to be and things to do then. So I wanted to offer up a conversation at your leisure if you wanted. I can always be reached at the contact info provided.

Honestly I greatly enjoy discussions like the one we were having. I spend a great deal of time studying (and then talking about) things like evidence, logic, presuppositions, and truth. I know you had objections to things like the Divinity of the Bible and how Logic leads you to believe in random chance existence; both of these are genuine questions and hurdles for people in the world today. (Both of which are addressed very slightly on the next page.) After all, the world is not God friendly with both the sciences and media pressing for anti-God worldviews; leading us all to believe their is no reason or evidence that God is real, even though evidence abounds.

Still, I wonder why people assume that group B is right and not group A without giving equal time to seek the truth in things. Learning the background and biases that may drive the groups. Truth in all things is what we really want, isn't it? And truth can not contradict itself and still be true so ultimately only one worldview can be right. If you're at all like me you want to know the “true truth” as well.

Anyhow, like I was saying, I love delving into this and often do so if you ever want to talk about things or pose seemingly impossible questions please do. (^_^) If you don't want to get into a discussion I of course understand and in that case I do hope you give AnswersinGenesis.org a chance to answer your objections. You seem like a cool guy even though we were coming from different worldviews and that's not the most common thing in my experience, so I wanted to open the door here.

Yours in Christ,
-Dan (of the door-to-door variety)
