Catholic people believe that they have such a thing, resting on strong philosophical definitions of ontology and truth. Traditionally I think that if one was truly interested in hearing a coherent argument for Christian belief, the Jesuit order specialized in teaching and expounding the philosophy. Short a long session with a Jesuit, you might consult the Catholic Encyclopedia for Christian arguments.
While perhaps you will ultimately agree that their system is coherent, that is, “marked by an orderly, logical, and aesthetically consistent relation of parts,” I doubt you will cotton to their first principles.
I do agree with Collins in your Time link on one point and one point alone: sincere discussion is probably the best way for honest minds. Otherwise, he’s not my demitasse of anything.
