** Van Damme vs. Van Til (aka Van Til - An Apology) **
The famous action figure was raised Roman Catholic. Of course the big apologist in the #RCC world is the "Angelic Doctor" Thomas Aquinas (d. 1274). In definite contrast to Aquinas' tactics is Van Til's presuppositional approach.
Cornelius Van Til was a Christian apologist who moved from the Netherlands. He taught Apologetics at Princeton Theological Seminary for one year! Van Til was Apologetics Prof at Westminster (Philly) from 1929, when it was founded, till 1972. That is, Van Til 1972‼
Any fact must be based on the axioms of the Trinity, the Bible is true and Christianity if real. Unless we look at life through a Christian worldview, nothing makes ultimate sense.

**Mortimer Adler's Apologetic**
The late philosopher Mortimer Adler (d. 2001), who wrote the popular How to Read a Book, was the chairman of the board of editors of the Encyclopedia Britannica and was the man behind the Great Books series that came out in the early 1950's. He penned Truth in Religion: The Plurality of Religions and the Unity of Truth in 1990. Adler points out, "If the religions of Far Eastern origins do not claim to be supernatural knowledge, based of divine revelation, then they are theoretical or moral philosophies masquerading as religions." Adler rejected polytheism and non-theism. He said that the existence of a supreme being could be proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
