Richard Pratt in his book, Every Thought Captive, makes some good points about defending the faith. The unbeliever wants to find truth apart from God's revelation. We can ask the unbeliever why he is trying to be independent of God. The unbeliever is going to assume independence from God in order to prove that he should find truth independent from God. We can show that the unbeliever's commitment to independence from God is groundless. Then, we can show that the unbeliever's commitment to independence from God leads to the conclusion that he is both absolutely certain and totally uncertain of the things that he professes to know.
