Added example of circular reasoning and added why belief in the Bible is different from belief in the Quran
Line 44: Line 44:  
==Examples==
 
==Examples==
 
*Atheists use circular logic to "disprove" the existence of [[God]].  That is, they presuppose that God does not exist and then argue that all proofs for the existence of God must be flawed because He does not exist.  Christians can use [[presuppositional apologetics]] to break the circle of the atheists' circular reasoning.

*[[Muslim]]s also use circular logic to defend the [[Qur'an]].  They argue that the Qur'an is true because it is the Word of [[Allah]], that it is the Word of Allah because it says so, and that we can rely on it because it is true. This is '''completely''' [[Biblical scientific foreknowledge |different]] from why the [[Bible]] is true.

*[[Evolutionist]]s will claim that a fossil is millions of years old because that is the date given by [[radiometric dating]]; then state that it is reliable because they "know" that the fossil is millions of years old due to the [[strata]] in which it was found; additionally because the radiometric dating methods agree with each other, and date correctly materials which were historically dated by humans.

*All other religions and philosophies that contradict Christianity use this same circular reasoning because  the Bible and Jesus' love is evidence of God's existence.
