In order to reason anything, a person must first start with God as He is the objective standard of Truth.
Wow.... Whats the point of going any further if this is your square one?
Why is your book any more true then any other religion?

and realized I have no reason to question you at all.
only the Christian world view has an ultimate justification for uniformity in nature, inductive reasoning, the laws of logic, and absolutes in general.

I wrote a thread called Atheism destroyed, and many people got upset as they thought it was just a troll thread. Atheist have a problem with accepting the argument I am about to present because it demonstrates the internal incoherency within the atheistic world view. The purpose of the thread I wrote before was to see what atheist believed and if any of them could produce a justification for their beliefs in the laws of logic, and the belief that the past will be like the future. None did. Of course it was partially on me as I was indeed using that OP to gain more insight as to how atheist believe, but you must understand that as a Christian I come into a conversation at the disadvantage in that my beliefs are written down. Every atheist is different, but every person has a world view. Neutrality is a myth. Anyone who claims to adhere to an atheistic world view however is grounded in naturalism and reductionism. This leaves the atheist in a tough spot, because that means from their world view humans are nothing but star dust evolved into bags of flesh and chemicals that fizz. This however leaves the atheist in a tougher spot because it denies their world view from having any ultimate justification for the uniformity in nature and their use of inductive reasoning, or any of the laws of logic . Actually an atheist cannot accept any type of absolute as they have no justification for such.

How does an atheist justify the thought that the past will act like the future?
One gentleman told me that logic justifies that the past will act like the future, but this is a logical fallacy as it is begging the question. The statement B="the past will act like the future" is presupposed when a person attempts A=inductive reasoning. Just because A presupposes B does not make B true. The atheist must justify statement B before inductive reasoning can occur.
The first thread was the scope this thread is the Shot. Atheist live there lives in the theistic world view because their sin blocks them from recognizing the God they already know. Atheist use inductive reasoning everyday. Everyone does. However only the Christian world view has an ultimate justification for uniformity in nature, inductive reasoning, the laws of logic, and absolutes in general.
