If God was real, we wouldn’t need apologists to explain why it is so difficult to find God or why a loving God planned so much pain and suffering for us. We wouldn’t need apologists to explain why different people see God so differently and scripture would not need hermeneutics to make sense.
If God was real, it would be SO OBVIOUS that biologists would need apologists to explain why all the evidence points to creation; atheists would need apologists to explain why the godly enjoy long lives and abundant benefits whilst non-believers get nothing. Atheists would need apologists to explain how we have learned so much about the universe from a book written thousands of years ago.
But it is not like that. All the evidence falsifies creation. Human apologists are needed to defend almighty God because he cannot defend himself and scripture looks exactly what it is—the musings of superstitious Iron Age folk.
If you believe in God, nothing makes sense without invoking magic. If you don’t believe, everything makes sense and no magic is required.
You need magic to believe fantasies but not to find reality.
