Is this for a term paper? Is this your approximate definition(s) of:<br><br>Presupposition is, a predisposition to believe something. It is a kind of knowledge that leads to judgments about other kinds of knowledge. In some schools of thought, a presupposition maybe an "assumption," a "bias," a "categorization," an "expectation," a "theory," a "law," an "organizing principle," a "world view," or a "framework for thought."<br><br>Evidence is knowledge that does not by itself lead a person to be predisposed toward anything. It takes its meaning in regard to a theory, or presupposition, about something. Certain facts may act as "evidence" to either support or undermine a general belief.<br> <br>Of course, confusion occurs in regard to the terms Presupposition and Evidence. These concepts are not exclusively the domain of one system or the other. All presuppositionalists use evidence, and all evidentialists use presuppositions. Cornelius van Til, the founder of modern presuppositionalism, frequently used evidence in apologetic discourses, and Francis Schaefer, probably the most well known recent Presbyterian evidentialist, continually talked about the importance of presuppositions.<br><br>So, are these definitions what you concur with or?
Reformed and Always Reforming,
