Pressuposition Apologetics Cross Examined
#40
RE: Pressuposition Apologetics Cross Examined
"The problem is their “presupposition” that acceptance of special revelation, specifically the bible, is necessary to justify belief in 1) the efficacy of human reason and 2) the intelligibility of the reality. That’s completely backwards. Belief in the efficacy of reason and the intelligibility of the world are necessary to justify subsequent beliefs about not just biblical texts, but pretty much everything else."

Except you're wrong, the claim isn't that revelation(bible) is the source, the creator is the source. God created the universe with objective governing laws, and as a result we too are dictated under the same objective laws.

"I agree that physical reductionists have no adequate solution to the problem of universals. That is a separate issue. And not all atheists are physical reductionists."

Case and point. Any other objections?

You get a bunch of fools together and they start giving eachother compliments. Good going guys.
