15. Revelation Strengths Weaknesses
Nature points to a creator God
A conscience points to the existence of God
Miracles point to a God that can break the laws of physics
Jesus as God in human form is the ultimate revelation of how God thinks we should live
God’s appearance throughout human history show his desire to reveal himself
Nature could just as well have come about by accident
A conscience could just be the human brain
Miracles could just be something that is/was unexplainable at the time
God’s appearances seem less frequent these days
Religious experience may be explained by psychology or even illness/disability
