bite can't think outside their own dogmatic beliefs and realize that they, too, employ many powerful background assumptions which are grounded in faith alone The point is that these "powerful background assumptions" are common to both 'macro evolutionists' & micro evolutionists(?). The latter simply have more, additional 'faith-based' assumptions. I assume we are talking about things like 'I'm not a brain in a vat,' 'tomorrow will follow today' & other unresolved fundamental issues. It seems interesting to me that recently whenever I get into these discussions (I know, bad habit), 'God doesn't exist' is countered with (metaphorically) 'maybe you don't exist' or 'Maybe you call red what I call green' While that is a good question, it's not really relevant ( I don't think so anyway). In fact, it's cheating. Define your fundamentals however you lie. I'll admit our fundamentals are all shaky. But lets move past that. Especially if if in the same breath as macro evolution (Do we really have to say macro now? Feels like the term is under attempted hijack). Yes, we assume that human logic works & that our observations are reality & that we are not a brain in a vat.
