Making Up Stuff and Calling It True

(quote from RealReality.org/Real_Faith_and_Reason_Vol_2_-_Scientia.pdf)
We’ve shown that all three proposed methods to power apriorism fail. Reason fails, what is self-evident fails, and common sense fails. Looking into common sense showed us common sense doesn’t exist, but it also showed us common science exists. However, common science isn’t a priori thinking. It’s a posteriori thinking as God reveals through observation, testing, and experimentation.

Apriorism creates the illusion of rational thought. When we fall into this mode of thinking, we pull presuppositions from our worldviews and rationalize them into abstract principles. We then label these abstract principles as facts and use them for two purposes. We use them to filter and interpret our observations and experiences, and we use them as premises for our conclusions. Apriorism is just one more system of making up stuff and calling the made-up stuff “true.” Put simply; apriorism is made-up stuff masquerading as reality. Someone just changed the name.
