I use to really get stuck on this. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but this isn’t actually true, right?

We don’t need a presupposition.
We presuppose evolution is true now, but only because it’s stood the test of time for 150 years. When evolution first became a thing it was a hypothesis. We didn’t presuppose it was true. (Did we presuppose it was false when we were doing experiments??)

We only assume evolution is true now because there’s mountains of evidence that support it. And if there was something that showed us evolution was false, then we’d be open to it being wrong, but it just hasn’t happened.

So… I need a more eloquent way to explain that. Also, do you make corrections?

I guess you could use se. “Why do we need to presuppose the Bible is true? I can presuppose evolution is false. Then we can experiment and see if it’s actually false”??

Any thoughts on this?
