As a Christian believer I must therefore place myself, for the sake of argument, upon the position of the non-Christian and show him that on his view of man and the cosmos he and the whole culture is based upon, and will sink into, quicksand. If the unbeliever then points to the fact that non-Christian scientists and philosophers have discovered many actual 'states of affairs,' I heartily agree with this but I must tell him that they have done so with barrowed capital. They have done so adventitiously. The actual state of affairs about the entire cosmos is what the Bible says it is.
