One of my favorite parts (both for its humor and its revealing insight) was when Jack got to the part of asking "What if you're wrong." (about his worldview) The response went something like this: J: But what if you're wrong about God? What then? A: But I'm not wrong. J: All right, but imagine what if you were wrong. A: But I'm not wrong. J: Well how do you know you're not wrong? A: I just know. J: But HOW do you know? A: Because I'm intelligent and I know I'm not wrong. J: Yes, but pretend that you were and there is a God. What happens then? A: But I'm not wrong. It went around in a circle for a while. Some people absolutely refuse to even think about the possibility of God existing. When you have a mind that intentionally blinds itself like that, then all sorts of other nonsense has to be true and right - evolution, abortion, totally relative morality, etc. Watched a video a couple years back of some Christians (Worldview Academy) interview an avowed atheist. One of my favorite parts (both for its humor and its revealing insight) was when Jack got to the part of asking “What if you’re wrong.” (about his worldview) The response went something like this:

J: But what if you’re wrong about God? What then?
A: But I’m not wrong.
J: All right, but imagine what if you were wrong.
A: But I’m not wrong.
J: Well how do you know you’re not wrong?
A: I just know.
J: But HOW do you know?
A: Because I’m intelligent and I know I’m not wrong.
J: Yes, but pretend that you were and there is a God. What happens then?
A: But I’m not wrong.

It went around in a circle for a while. Some people absolutely refuse to even think about the possibility of God existing. When you have a mind that intentionally blinds itself like that, then all sorts of other nonsense has to be true and right – evolution, abortion, totally relative morality, etc.
