Factual Argumentation and Presuppositions



"Factual argumentation may become necessary, but it is never sufficient. What one takes to be factual, as well as the interpretation of accepted facts, will be governed by his underlying philosophy of fact--that is, by more basic, all-pervasive, value-oriented, categorizing, possibility-determining, probability-rating, supra-experiential, religiously-motivated presuppositions. It is at this presuppositional level that the crucial work in defending the faith must thus be done."

We eventually figured it out once Tim remembered that his friend's wife was a florist, but problems developed when the store didn't have yellow!
