Well, the plausibility structure has told you that in a number of ways because we've been socialized rather than being these logical beings.
18:59
Sure.
18:59
I break down, um, the question so plausibility is really about like why would i believe this right so like and why why would i lean into this and why would i walk in this direction say when i define apologetics i would define it as engaging the why question like why would i believe why would i take jesus seriously as an option for my life you know why would i follow him so it's not the what simply the what you know that includes that but it but it's why would i do it's not break that why down into into three, well, four categories really, but I'll give you three of them.
19:33
The first is plausibility, which I use slightly different than Berger does to mean the question, is it true? The second question is desirability.
19:44
Is it attractive? Is it beautiful? And the third one is tangibility.
19:49
Is it real? Which is different than the question, is it true? And then there's a fourth one that we can talk about in a minute if you'd like.
19:55
But if we think about plausibility, desirability, tangibility, plausibility tends to be established for you.
