Bill Nye admits he bases his thoughts on assumptions and still justifies this irrationality by saying he bases assumptions on experience. However, assumptions don’t come from experience directly as we’ve proved. While our experiences may be part of our thinking, we interpret our experiences by filtering them through our existing worldviews. Worldviews act like a thick veil to keep us from seeing reality directly. Only God can pull this veil away, and He does that whenever we yield to the Holy Spirit’s leading. Then, we automatically add the filtered impressions of experiences back into our worldviews as confirmation bias. As a result, our worldviews feel real. And confirmation bias reinforces the real-feel of the worldview. So when our assumptions and made-up stories come out of our worldviews, they seem more real than reality. We think our assumptions are real because our worldviews seem more real than reality. It’s deception. That’s why assumptions can seem obviously true. But all assumptions are illusions, and no assumptions are obviously true.
