What theory of truth supports the Christian worldview?

Post #1

Post by scourge99 »

three things are undermining Christianity/church:

1. the dominance of the evidentiary epistemological model

Here's the atheists actual "soft spot" when it comes to debate: they limit themselves to the "evidence theory" of truth and use it as a sledgehammer against all literal or unsupported truth claims.

Question for debate: what other epistemological models or theories of truth can be shown to accurately reflect reality? Specifically, how can it be verified or shown that these alternatives accurately reflect reality?

Can other models or theories:
1) make predictions that can be verified and reproduced independently?

2) conform to the preponderance of evidence of reality?

3) remain consistent and coherent?

Based or our rules, members are asked to make arguments within the post itself. Using links for reference/support is acceptable (even encouraged), but the logic of what you are claiming should be clear before one follows any links.
We must continually ask ourselves whether victory has become more central to our goals than truth.
