Existential Desires

There are any number of ways the Christian apologist may go about proving the existence of God and then also go on to prove the gospel accounts of Christ. They may start with the ontological argument that argues the existence of God because God is conceivable and that you cannot conceive of a thing that has no basis in reality.

They may also offer the teleological argument, which argues that the order of the universe requires a intelligent designer. There is the moral argument which says that there is no way to conceptualize moral good apart from an absolute moral law giver.
From these arguments the Christian apologist must go on to prove the God of the Bible. Therefore they have to deal with such things as miracles and prove that they are not unreasonable. This raises another challenge to the apologist. Now they have to demonstrate the reliability of the biblical accounts of the Bible. This then brings us to the factual evidence for the resurrection of the Lord Jesus and again the evidence is quite overwhelming.
