Following materialism to its logical end ultimately leads to nihilism where everything is meaningless. This is why most materialists cannot and do not live consistently within their worldview, but illegitimately borrow transcendent values (like moral goodness) from Christianity.

The argument from beauty is perhaps my favorite apologetic argument. While very powerful, it is also one of the least used.

“Mors Improvisa” (sudden/unexpected/unforeseen death) was considered the worst form of death in the Middle Ages because one could not prepare for death. Contrast that with today where it is generally regarded as the ideal way to die – i.e., in one’s sleep not even knowing that they were sick, or dropping dead of a sudden

Mark Rushdooney has an interesting perspective on time here. Time is a great mystery. Rushdooney affirms that God ultimately brings meaning to time. “Scripture gives us a transcendent meaning to time and history. Time is, without God, at best meaningless.
