Evidential apologetics

Evidential apologetics is a type of apologetics that uses evidence to defend beliefs. It tries to prove to others why we believe what we believe and why they should too. It uses evidence, like facts, research, and data to support our beliefs. Evidential apologetics draws from many different sources, including history, philosophy, science, and even personal experience. For example, a believer might use evidence from science to show that God exists and that He created the universe. In this way, evidence can be used to support why someone believes something.
