What God thinks about evidence versus presuppositions...

I drew this after philosophy yesterday:


Of course none of us is God...

I'm not exactly sure -for clarification, are u forming two intersecting lines that form an 'x', or two triangles that meet. And if its two triangles, are the touching at their top and bottom, or sides? Thanks.

Two Vs that meet. The top V is inductive reasoning. The bottom V is deductive reasoning.

Does "beliefs" in your diagram refer to spiritual hypotheses?

For the bottom half, beliefs relates to presuppositions that are starting points. For the top half, beliefs relates to conclusions based on the evidence. God of course is the only one who knows all the evidence in all its true relationships to all the other evidence.

And truth is where the two halves meet at their points?
Relative truth or Absolute truth?

This was meant to sketch how things fit in God's "mind" (so absolute truth). It is thus not a picture of how it will work in our minds necessarily. I pictured disjointed versions of the top and bottom halves that were staggered off to each side with dotted lines.

Lol! You intercepted my 'attack'!
Also,there is no evidence in my life that God thinks logically. He thinks relationally, which is a way we are unable to think due to our falleness and therefore our inherited agreement with chaos. Only by the Spirit are we ever able to think relationally, and it is like a breath of light and very fresh air into a dark and stale room when that happens. We immediately know those thoughts are founded in a our greater being who cares and loves us all. His plan is the greatest good for the greatest number. Always. He came to save the world...(by healing it).

Been wanting to share this with you, our current 'conversation' reminded me. I thought you and others may find it helpful.
