The Inherent Evasiveness of Apologetics

At its core, apologetics is an exercise in excuse making. Its whole purpose is to rationalize a set of beliefs that Christians are already invested in. Methodology doesn't matter. The goal is not open exploration. All that matters is fending off doubts, and this must be done at all costs. Thus apologists develop an instinct to be automatically evasive on any topic that sounds like it will challenge their established faith. In this video, I examine an interesting case study in this phenomenon, which is Mike Winger's response to a series of objections to belief in God. The objections bring up real issues with the Chrisitan faith, but they tend to be imprecise with their language, often overreach by claiming that they PROVE God does not exist. This presents Mike with a choice. He could thoughtfully engage with the real issues at hand, or he could dismiss them based on technicalities since the goal is evasion at all costs. How he response when given an easy out tells us a LOT about apologetics.
