The Fact of Creation

In the last book I wrote "But.... what is the Truth?" I presented a cumulative case for the truth of God, Jesus, Creation and the Bible.  As I presented this publicly many critics would not engage the material and dismiss it because essentially it promoted faith or belief.
  However, this popular criticism is nonsensical, because every true statement requires belief in order to recognize truth
For a couple generations, truth has been under attack. Now we can settle in liberty; but we can not tolerate lies. Facts are facts and if we do not acknowledge them, they will destroy us.  In the information age we have gathered more facts than ever before.  In light of that, those who are not advocates of truth want to flood the public with misinformation so that common people miss vital knowledge for their daily living.
 SO the goal of this book is not so much as an attempt to compel people to positive faith, as it is an indictment upon the lie of atheism.
#1 I show the historical record of Secular forces in the war for western civilization.
#2 I show the historical record of the factual observations of the creator God
#3 I logically justify the Judeo Christian God through Ontological argumentation
#4 I make the case for a geocentric cosmology and the anthropic principle of the universe.
#5 I Show that the evolutionary theory has been and is currently debunked to the point where there is no epistemological value from the theory.
#6 I respond to metaphysical attacks upon God with evidence for and the doctrine of the deity of Jesus Christ
  While my first book would be persuasive for belief, this book attacks the heart of denial
At the end of the day if your basis is agnosticism, "having no knowledge" then your place in society is submission "Having no authority".
Now as I set out this cumulative case consider these points/
#1 Subjective desire
#2 A fact observed
#3 The facts proven rational
#4 The whole of the Evidence in a teleological framework.
#5 The Alternative debunked
#6 The "Truth" vindicated.
So if we assume that the articles are proven, would it stand to reason that creation is a fact? If so then it is time to weigh the case.

Now often Christians these days debate the need for evidence, if our belief is only based on faith or if it is entirely based on evidence, or if it is some scale in the middle.
This debate is ironically off topic because the goal is not about reasoning someone to faith in Christ for salvation.   I believe that scripture is the only BASIS for belief.
  Now, Thomas Aquinas or "Thomism" Argues for a similar division between reason and faith. However, this author rejects the category of this division. The division proposed is between reason and faith.  Reason being a basis for moral and belief in God while Faith being the basis for theology and religion. This division is false because faith involves reason and reason involves faith.
   Instead this is over how denial of creation is immoral. It is not immoral based on the requirement of faith. It is not immoral based upon the persuasion or reasoning theism. It is immoral because Creation and it's creator God is an observed fact and that denying this fact is a lie at the foundation of world civilization.

  A fact might not be absolutely certain and yet the logic can work enough to be compelling.  However a fact is an observation and must not be rejected; it could be reinterpreted, but not rejected.  Denying creation and the creator is not natural, what is natural is for man to be religious. Not only for their life to have meaning, but indeed a higher power to cling to in the face of death or annihilation. When we use propaganda to take this meaning of life, and the need for life, away from people We are violating the hearts and lives of scores of people, which of course is morally wrong.
The last chapter does transgress the goal slightly. Secularist tend to cross over categories and their greatest arguments are metaphysical in nature. Since they mostly don't have metaphysics in their system they are contradicting themselves but the objections must be addressed or the false premise will be assumed truth.
