Well in depends if you reject the strong modal TAG, and if one considers hypothetical worldviews as valid in debate.

If the basis for the apologist's argument is that no other worldviews work, then hypothetical worldviews are valid. At the very least, if they claim to have an objectively certain proof for God's existence, then they are claiming to have a strong modal TAG. What Van Til and Banhsen taught was the strong modal version. The phrase "impossibility of the contrary" says it all.

There is no other available worldview to date that does that.

But this fails to satisfy the "impossibility of the contrary" claim.

Also I would add the TAG posits the God of *scripture* as the precondition for intelligibility not just some conceptual scheme.

The conceptual scheme and the concept of the God of Christianity are both derived from *scripture*. So, in the end TAG is positing "just some conceptual scheme." It is a conceptual scheme where the ground for all being is found in the ontological reality of the triune God.
