(December 28, 2011 at 3:33 am)Perhaps Wrote: "I have a hypothesis which I would like to test. If any statement is made and the question of 'why?' is asked in reference to that statement there will be finite regress of statements until eventually an assumption is made."

There's nothing wrong with inductive reasoning/assumptions... I never said there was.

I simply said that the fact that it is inductive supports my hypothesis. I swear, sometimes it seems like people just want to argue about things that were never said.

I'm thinking the theist then reduces to axiom of god while the atheist reduces to the axiom of Peano. Wink

From experience, your last statement is a correct application of assumption.
