Referring back to the Holy Bible regarding an issue, we then are using the traditional evidence; otherwise, we shall use reasonable evidence.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: 'andale mono', times;\">The reasonable evidence is beneficial when dealing with people who do not believe in the Holy Bible; whether the atheists or the non Christians.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: 'andale mono', times;\">For example, in the theoretical theology, if we want to prove the existence of a Creator for a believer, we can use the written verse: \u201cIn the beginning God created the heavens and the earth\u201d (Genesis 1: 1). However, this may not bear fruits with a disbeliever, as he would ask for the evidence because he does not consider the Holy Bible dependable evidence.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: 'andale mono', times;\">We will speak a little about the theoretical theology, yet this does not mean that we would ignore the Holy Bible and its importance to us, Christians. Having discourse with atheists and non Christians does require theoretical evidence at the first place, then afterwards, we would expectedly talk with him according to what came in the Holy Bible, as it is undoubtedly the base of our Christian life.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;
