Let's forget Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Krishna, the Moonies, and all others.

My "proof" of the existence of some supernatural being is in "intelligent design" of the universe and specifically life on Earth. It is completely illogical to think that creation happened completely by chance. Belief in that takes more faith than belief in a Creator.

Now, if there is a Creator, which can be demonstrated within creation, it is logical to think that this Creator would have an interest in its creation.

Moving on to postmodernism. The above comments are a weak synopsis of apologetics. For all intents and purposes, APOLOGETICS IS DEAD. Even if the existence of God, the life/death/resurrection of...someone Passion-ately sent from God, were proven to be true and it was reported on CNN, some would still not accept it.

The postmodern is very much like the guy that the Gospels report received his sight after Christ healed him. (By the way, this is not a religious interpretation. It is telling what this particular gospel account says.) When the guy receives his sight he is questioned by the pharisees and chief priests. He cannot explain what happened. All he says is, "This is what I know, I once was blind, but now I see."

Did I cross the line?
