I was reading this in JP Moreland's Love your God with all your Mind and while I agree with what he listed, and would use them in an argument with an anti-theist, I am struggling with finding examples to prove my point. Here are some philosophical presuppostions of science that he listed:
1. The existence of a theory, independent, external world.
2. The orderly nature of the external world.
3. The knowability of the external world.
4. The existence of truth.
5. The Laws of Logic.
6. The reliability of our cognitive and sensory faculties to serve as truth gathers and as a source of justified beliefs in ourintellectual environment.
7. The adequacy of Language to descrive the world.
8. The existence of values used in science (for example, "test theories fairly and report test results honestly).
9. The uniformity of nature and induction
10. The existence of numbers and mathematical truths.
ANy help with examples to prove my point would be appreciated.
