Cameron Bertuzzi (Capturing Christianity): inability to answer a question doesn't mean Christianity is false; testimony is a legitimate epistemic basis

There’s a literal “Manual for Creating ATHEISTS” 00:35:24 – 00:38:01

Video clip from Cameron Bertuzzi with pastoral/apologetic advice for Christians facing SE

Bertuzzi advises Christians encountering SE to seek truth and not be thrown off. Key point: SE is not really about seeking truth — it is designed to undermine reasons for belief. Just because you cannot immediately answer a question does not mean Christianity is false or that your reasons are bad. Testimony is a valid epistemic basis for belief; the Bible contains eyewitness testimony (e.g., Paul's testimony). The question of whether Biblical testimony is reliable is a separate, deeper question worth researching.
