He has over the last decade evangelize and dealt with post modern thinkers. Most are secular university educated. Asking them before conversion to Christianity
to accept 6 day creation, etc. Is a pill they won't swallow. Stanley's approach is to let those issues be dealt with post conversion. Small, small steps.
Have you ever dealt with someone who does not believe there is any absolute truth? A person who believes everything is relative?
If you have not, you should go find such a person see how well "The Bible says it so its true" works on them.
The Holy Spirit can overcome their issues, just speak the scriptures to them!
Paul was speaking to the philosophers and heavy thinkers of His day, and was preaching to them the scriptures...

Hebrews 4:12 (KJV)

Blue back Herring
on a 10/0 circle hook and you will wear Striper out. You can fish for years with that set up and you won't catch a Crappie.
