Discussion Guide: The Ultimate Proof of Creation Chapter 2

This is for a group of guys in my church with whom I am going over the apologetics’ book “Ultimate Proof of Creation” by Jason Lisle.  It is a book that teaches Presuppositional apologetics that engages apologetics at the level of worldview.  Cornelius Van Til was instrumental in beginning this form of apologetics and others have developed and applied it.

I thought the following questions might be helpful for other individuals and other small groups to facilitate discussions and learning. The following are questions for chapter 2 of the book.  (For a discussion guide for the previous part of the book see this post on the Introduction and Chapter 1).

10. What is knowledge and what is the problem with arbitrary beliefs? (41)
