Description
Search for a video on YouTube of an Atheist, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, Evolutionist, etc. who is arguing for his/her worldview or against a Christian worldview. Watch the video and write this individual a letter in response to his/her claims against Christianity or for his/her religion (or pseudo-religion). In your letter you will need to address his/her main points and should present to them why Christianity answers the 5 worldview questions (from Module 1: Week 1) better than the worldview they are espousing. If he/she is using one of the informal fallacies we have discussed (from Module 1: Week
1) Point this out to them in a gentle manner.
In your post make sure that you include the link to the YouTube video so your peers and the professor can check to see how well your letter addressed the issues brought up in the video. Before you reply to your peers, make sure you watch the video that the peer used as the genesis of his/her letter. This will help you know if they have adequately responded to the majority of the video’s concerns or critiques. If something has been left out of his/her apologetic letter, please reply addressing how you would have responded to the critique in the video.
