Recently, several people have asked me, “How do you actually do this apologetics stuff at home? How do you talk to your kids about these topics?”
But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled, but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you yet with gentleness and reverence; and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame. 1 Peter 3: 14-16

Christopher Hitchens said that the fine tuning argument was the most persuasive argument for the existence of God that he had heard. The universe seems like it was designed for life to inhabit it and not a random throw of the dice.

Apologetics – The Term
Even though the word Apologetics sounds like it is connected to the word apologize, it isn’t. Apologetics comes from the Greek word apologia, which means a legal defense as in a court of law. Apologetics is used to make a case for the truth of Christianity.
Peter uses the word apologia in:
1 Peter 3:15 (NASB95)...

America’s Founding Fathers Influenced by a Christian Worldview

It might be fair to say that most Americans tend to take our freedom for granted. We forget that our freedom was hard-won and is not guaranteed.

The secular mind dismisses these as tall-tales and myths produced by superstitious, pre-modern minds. However, it seems to us that the modern prejudice against miracles is not very rational.
