(April 25, 2014 at 1:05 pm)Coffee Jesus Wrote: That's easy. Their premise, which they use to exclude all other possible foundations, assumes that their foundation is correct.
The argument is essentially: My foundation is correct, therefore my foundation must be correct.
What verses do they use to support their premise?
Sye Ten Bruggencate seems to be fond of "the fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom" from the Psalms, though interestingly he'll switch out "wisdom" for "knowledge," despite not being present in any translation I've seen.
Given this, he presupposes that if you don't believe in god, you can't have knowledge and... that's it. He's done, and he can spend the rest of the conversation asking "how do you know that?"
It's really gross.
