Even if the argument turned out to be completely fabricated or disprovable, did it at the very least draw you closer to believing the Bible is God's Word and all that such a belief entails?
If not, has there ever been an argument that you didn't know how to answer, or that surprised you against your expectations?
Not looking for "All Christian arguments are idiotic" replies. This is an honest question.
No. I know you don't want an "all Christian arguments are idiotic" reply, but that actually describes it pretty well. Even the best stuff Christians have to offer, like pseudo-philosopher William Lane Craig(pretty much sums it up saying that he is one of their best), is extremely broken. In fact, the Christian arguments are so scientifically and philosophically erronious that they only cement my belief that I am on the right path.
ETA: Rhythm brought up a good point about the pre-sup arguments. I guess those are about the best Christianity has to offer and can be difficult to outright prove false. They're difficult to demonstrate as bullshit, but they sure do smell like it and aren't enough to convince anyone that is truly skeptical.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
