Cheryl,

Does Chris, er “NeoPatriarch,” mean literally “Evidence based on presumptions”? Or did he perhaps mean to say, “Evidence based on our presuppositions”? Either way, for someone who claims to be Reformed in his theology and apologetics, Chris reveals his ignorance of Cornelius Van Til, a Reformed apologist. Van Til once wrote that our presuppositions are like the settings on a skill-saw. If the settings are wrong, no matter how hard you try, you’ll never cut a straight piece of lumber. Likewise, if our underlying presuppositions are incorrect or false, we’ll never cut our way through a straight interpretation of Scripture, theology, whatever. We’ll always have a crooked and useless interpretation.
