No stance is without presuppositions, for to be without them is to be without a foundation. Presuppositions are our guidelines to truth; they undergird our values, standards, and ideals; they form the framework within which we move. Yet presuppositions by their very nature can not be proved or demonstrated; they can only be affirmed. This makes all of man's knowledge tenuous, assailable, vulnerable.
