Consider the following falsehoods that students learn and add to their worldviews:

“All logic begins with presuppositions.”

“The axioms of science are obvious.”

“A theory isn’t a concept but a proved fact.”

All these statements are bare claims. In other words, they have no proof. Still, many educated people believe these statements and can’t believe that anyone would question them. To make matters worse, some people mix revelation with made-up stuff as the following example illustrates:

“All logic begins with presuppositions. For instance, we may presuppose that God can reveal reality to us.”

To sort through this confusion, we must realize that God can reveal reality to us. In fact, He reveals that His revelation isn’t the same as our made-up stuff, so we don’t need presupposition. We don’t need to presuppose that God reveals since God shows us that He’s revealing. God makes it plain to us when He’s revealing a matter to us. In contrast, presupposition, or other made-up stuff, is only necessary if we choose to add to or diminish what God is saying. Contrast the following statement with the previous statement that implied that all logic begins with presuppositions:

“Sound logic never begins with presuppositions since presuppositions consist of made-up stuff. Instead, sound logic begins with a true premise. However, we can’t get a true premise from made-up stuff, so we can’t get a true premise from presuppositions. Since God can reveal reality to us, we don’t need any presuppositions.”
