[QUOTE="secondtimearound, post: 60361581, member: 239233"] How do you determine reality? Christians are no different than you. People. We all have what epistomologists call properly basic beliefs, beliefs that make up the very foundation of our beliefs. This is how you determine things like the existence of other minds and the external world to be real. Here is the thing, as Christians we base our belief on the transforming power of Jesus Christ in our lives. Once you have experienced Christ, you have a much easier time accepting, say for instance, that the Bible is Holy literature or that God has a personal relationship with every Christian. It is also because of the change in people's lives and the work of the Holy spirit in us that a lot of Christians will take the Bible at face-value and posit things like a 6000 year old universe, contrary to the evidence. They may have an error in their logic and reason past the foundation, but they do not have an error in the foundation. We believe it because we experience it and if you want, you can experience it too. This is a forum dedicated to exploring Christianity, someone of another faith cannot respond. [/QUOTE]
