Assumptions Based on Experience

The following quote is the clearest statement on assumptions in the entire debate between Ken Ham and Bill Nye:

“Then, by the way, the fundamental thing that we disagree on, Mr. Ham, is this nature of what you can prove to yourself. This is to say, when people make assumptions based on radiometric dating, when they make assumptions about the expanding universe, when they make assumptions about the rate at which genes change in populations of bacteria in laboratory growth media, they’re making assumptions based on previous experience. They’re not coming out of whole cloth.” ~ Bill Nye

So Bill and Ken disagree on one fundamental: the basis of thought. But should we base thought on assumptions or divine revelation?
