CRITICAL THINKING.
Critical thinking is "thinking about thinking". It is a way of deciding if a claim is true, false, or sometimes true and sometimes false, or partly true and partly false. It can be split into two important areas, Logical Fallacies and Cognitive Bias. Critical thinking is simply the skill of pressing certain questions further to understand and evaluate an idea or argument.
It is the opposite of evaluating an idea simply by our emotions or allowing our thinking to be driven by the media or groupthink. It is accepting the personal responsibility to not be taken “captive” but to evaluate all ideas through the lens of Christ, the One in whom we are to walk.
critical thinking is clearly an essential and a necessary bridge, particularly to an unbelieving or skeptical audience.
“Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.” (Col. 2:6-8)
