    You cannot prove a negative. This guy is such a joke.

    Hi Tetly,

    >The chief criticism of presuppositionalism is that it uses circular reasoning, which is generally considered a logical fallacy. Many opponents of presuppositional apologetics would characterize the presuppositional argument as resting on a belief in the Bible as the source of truth because it is inspired by God, in whom we can believe because the Bible affirms it and the Bible is the source of truth. While some logicians accept tautology as a legitimate form of argument, most find it impossible to counter, since each premise is only acceptable if the other premise is also found acceptable. This charge seeks to subsume presuppositionalism within fideism, which holds that belief in God cannot be justified by reason at all, but must be accepted or rejected wholly upon faith.

    My own personal views are derived from a logical sequence promoted by R.C. Sproul. It begins with the evidence for the events of Calvary with the proof 'beyond reasonable doubt' that Christ died and rose from the grave. This is similiar to Josh McDowell's views on the first premise. The Apostle Paul laid out his evidence in several of the epistles and even defined the gospel in 1 Corinthians 15.
    There is absolutely no need to assume that belief in God is beyond reason, that's hogwash!

    Rex,

    7) Science has the task of proving there is no God

    Nope. Science doesn't give two hoots whether God exists or doesn't.

    "beyond reasoable doubt" and "christ" do not belong in the same sentence.

    "the apostle paul" and "evidence" do not belong in the same sentence.

    LOL, pull your head out.

    >You need to stop the flaming: You infer that creationists are some how 'not scientific', intimidation by arogance and condescension is not a valid argument. BTW, on the last question....look around you. The evidence is staring back at you in the mirror.

    if you don't see an african ape staring back at you when you look in the mirror, rexette, then you need to stop reading those brain fart xian books, and go down to the science section at your local library and read some real books.

    "creationist" and "scientific" do not belong in the same sentence. lol.
