• Introduction
• Survival problem
  • Can we survive without a plan?
  • Can there be a plan without a vision?
  • Can any such vision fail to address the Sectarian obstacle?
  • Is there any alternative but to fight fire with fire?
    •  To bite the prophetic bullet?  
• Having said this, who then is the target audience?
  • This would redirect us to the secularists. 
  • This will entail the stratagem of Apologetics
    • This stratagem is purely of xian provenance. 
• Here we need a segue to immaterialism
  • I would suggest moving from vital force to design to final cause
