We don't have a worldview consistent with this presupposition? I assume you're using a capital G here, yeah?
Actually no, it doesn't make any sense Stat. When a claim to truth is made and the truth is observable by anyone who cares to look, it's pretty easy to point the finger and call someone for the liar they are. It's called fact checking. It's simple as hell to do.
That's about the weakest thing you've ever said, as if a logical argument comes down to beliefs. The argument is not sound. What you believe about the argument is irrelevant (same would apply to my "beliefs"..lulz).
To recap whats went down thusfar:
You would rather not talk about how hilariously and unfortunately incorrect you were about syllogisms, math, logic, and numbers.
Some arguments are valid but not sound, such as the argument from biblical inerrancy, or the drake equation.
Some presuppositions are not subject to the same scrutiny of other presuppositions.
For a "classical logic buff" you've really managed to butcher the whole thing.
