A process which accounts for one observable facet of nature doesn't automatically account for all others, however similar. That's where scientific investigation comes in of course (and where "creation science" goes out).
No no. Not presumptions that are so obvious but more subtle ones. It is presumed that time and space is uniform but what if it's not? It used to be presumed that space was nothing, but now it's increasingly being thought as an entity. This is how theories of wormholes started to rise. It was also presumed time was uniform, but we now find that it's not; proven by Einstein. Everyone has preassumptions, but the question is what are yours? Even Stephan Hawking admits to his.

Ideology is personal beliefs, so he admits that many of the theories they come up with is a mixture of evidence and personal beliefs.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
