However the case is worse than you state: It's not that "... such is the state of man when he has forgotten who his Creator is..." but that <b>knowing God</b> they deny him and worship and serve the creature, rather than the Creator.<br /><br />I would say nothing about this except you say you are doing an apologetics class. At the heart of the false view is a step of faith (even as there is a step of faith in the Christian view). The non-Christian makes that step in choosing to believe something or someone other than God is the creator and sustainer of the universe. From that beginning reason is pressed into service to "prove" the original assumption is correct.<br /><br />Now your argument is a basis for apologetics - an impersonal creator is illogical and so the Creator has to be personal. Then Romans 1 and 2 provide the intellectual framework for our view that natural man <b>knows</b> the true God but denies him - and the use of the illogical argument you describe so well is proof of that fact and is a challenge to acknowledge the true God of Scripture.Kaitiakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04091541905130901357noreply@blogger.com
