I think the most important question in an apologetics course would be "How do you know that is true?", clearly stated and thoroughly followed up
Well, that's the million dollar question isn't it? If just one person could prove beyond a reasonable doubt and without question that their side was right, we wouldn't be here discussing this.
Christians (those that actually care to sit down and read that is) believe that the Bible is true based on evidence. Now, immediately I'm going to get, "show me the evidence" on here. I can't sit down and type out 600 pages (nor would I plagerize authors) on the compounding evidence for Scripture and Christianity. Tons of authors have already done this including Schaeffer and McDowell to name a few. I'm reading "Evidence for Christianity" right now and McDowell makes a compelling case. It's more then enough evidence to hold up in a court of law (unless your the one jurist that just doesn't "believe") There isn't one "gotcha" piece of evidence out there....for either side. There is doubt in evolution also but getting anyone around here to admit that is just shy of a miracle....there is faith involved in science and evolution, such as the "point of singularity" theory, in the sense that the origins of life, from an evolutionary standpoint, CANNOT be hypothesized and reproduced over and over using the scientific method, thus it takes a "step of faith", which always leaves room for doubt.
