I'm astounded by the arrogance of someone who thinks they've "solved epistemology." I have a ton of things you can try.
The first thing that comes to mind: Can you logically demonstrate that "God-based" knowledge is somehow better than regular knowledge?
I mean, this presupp stuff is CLEARLY question begging. Has nobody brought this up? (I'm assuming they have.) What is the typical response to this?
Hi there, no I haven't debated Darth who is the one who has put this argument forth to atheists. I'm not knowledgeable enough to take him on yet. :His reasoning is that in a godless world, there is nothing absolute and ultimate to ground all possibility and impossibility. It's a universe based on chance, so the laws of physics may change tomorrow. Also, his argument is that all facts and knowledge in a godless world are arbitrary, whereas in his worldview knowledge can only be attained through the Christian God because he is omniscient and all-powerful and institutes that which is fundamental and ultimate etc, etc.
To fellow atheists, somewhat different question - but a question I often see from theists. The question goes : where do atheists get their basis to justify any claim they make?
That would depend on the claim. For example, I can justify the claim that three cats live in our house on the basis of 1) they are cats, and 2) there are three of them.
