I am finding more and more that the presuppositional method of apologetics is INCREDIBLY useful! Today in my english class, we got on the topic of same sex marriage. We got onto the topic of whether or not homosexuality was genetic. My professor said it was. During our discussion, I said something along these lines:
(Directed at areligious people in our class, and my professor)
"I don't understand how anyone can justify homosexual behavior from an atheistic and evolutionistic worldview. Natural selection is the idea that only those organisms that are most fit to reproduce will survive and pass on their genes, and homosexuals are the absolute arch-nemesis of beneficial natural selection. If evolution were true, then homosexuality would never have survived as a gene to be passed on through history."
My professor agreed with me and said he didn't have an answer to that. No one in the class did, either.
Further, (didn't say this in class) those who believe in any of the major world religions and adhere somewhat strictly to a major religious text would believe homosexuality is sin. It is only those that believe that there is a God, but don't care to follow Him, that could *possibly* justify homosexuality, though it wouldn't be a very good justification.
Anyway, I know this doesn't address the fact that Christianity is the only world-and-life view that makes reality intelligible, but I thought it was interesting how God has taught me to reason presuppositionally. It's taught me to think in such different ways, and has been so helpful!
