(July 6, 2009 at 5:59 am)Arcanus Wrote: Belief and faith are two very different things, and fr0d0 was referring to belief only. And he was promoting the idea—if I have understood him rightly—that the presuppositions which undergird theistic beliefs are no less 'certain' than the presuppositions which undergird atheistic beliefs.

What are those presuppositions, and how are they "certain"?
