Apologetics As A Science

Science is a search for information, but information is contained in our language which is composed of words syntaxial arranged as per the rules of grammar. When scientists research a disease, they mine the meaning of a word. By means of science and analytical investigation, researchers develop a description of what the concept or word refers to. Apologetics looks at words as the bricks of meaning. If a person claims God does not exist, what is he saying? What do these words mean to him? How often when we are talking issues, we seem to be talking at cross purposes? Are the words we use the same for those on the opposite sides of an argument? Perhaps god does not exist as defined by atheists. Perhaps residential schools were evil, if we define evil in the way natives use the word. Apriorian Apologists look at words as God would have us use them. Apologists’ endeavor to perfect word use, utilizing the tools of logic and science. Every word has a mission, and its purpose is defined by its most perfect incarnation.
