Hello Cih1355,

The presuppositional apologetic method is a very flexible method. One does not use the same argument everytime. It depends on the worldview being presented. For instance, as VanVos pointed out, he might use the philosophical argument called the problem of the one and the many when considering Islam. At the same time, he may choose to use the problem of induction with a naturalist. Also, the apologist will have certain arguments that he favors, and will tailor his argument appropriately. It really is a great apologetic in terms of flexibility. One argument I like to use against Mormons is the idea of eternal matter. This is part of the Mormon metaphysic. God did not created ex nihilo but rather organized existing matter into what we see today. The matter always was and always will be. I use an argument that demonstrates the incoherency of this.

Now, I do not want to leave the wrong impression that this apologetic is a slam dunk. You must have your argument down cold (I mean really understand it), and you must have your competitors position down cold. This takes a lot study - esspecially if you are going enter the public arena. However, rest assured that these arguments are very powerful. Just make sure you put the time in to learn the issues, or you will get hammered by an informed opponent.

Sincerely,

Brian
P.S. I am beginning a debate with the producer of the Internet Infidel Radio Program. I will be using some type of presuppositional apologetic. If anyone is interested, I will give you the link.
