Many Christian inerrantists, or biblical literalists, have accused non-Christians of presuppositionalism. I find that to be quite odd since if inerrancy, and bibilical literalism, are anything, they are presuppositionism. The late Henry Morris, Ph.d., Institute for Creation Research, was an inerrantist. He once said that “the main reason for insisting on the universal Flood as a fact of history and as the primary vehicle for geological interpretation is that God’s word plainly teaches it! No geologic difficulties, real or imagined, can be allowed to take precedence over the clear statements and necessary inferences of Scripture.” (Henry Morris, ‘Biblical Cosmology and Modern Science,’ 1970, p. 32-33.)
In other words, Morris only used science when he believed that it agreed with his Bible-based presuppositions.
It is important to note that many non-Christians used to be Christians, and originally presupposed that the Bible is true.
It is also important to note that many current Christians who accept theistic evolution, who believe that a global flood did not occur, and who believe that the earth is old, originally presupposed that creationism is true, that a global flood did occur, and that the earth is young, and changed their minds.
