What I may or may not presuppose is not the issue. Why do you keep evading it?
“What I may or may not presuppose is not the issue. Why do you keep evading it?”
Well, I guess I see it as the issue. For some time I accepted the idea that my reasoning on the creation/evolution issue was faulty, because I jumped into any discussion with the assumption that the Bible is true.
After a few years it was pointed out to me that those who argued against me assume that the Bible isn’t true. So they really aren’t claiming any moral high ground. They are not “more scientific” than me.
We could say, alternatively, that I enter the argument assuming evolution isn’t true, and you enter assuming it is.
Either way I think it is helpful to everyone to be honest about our presuppositions, instead of pretending they don’t exist.
