“Some academic disciplines, especially those in the social sciences, are profoundly anti-Christian in their effect, and it is difficult to counter that effect by dealing with their evidence or their arguments. The evidence is often good and the arguments sound. It is the assumptions we must question. No serious thought can be conducted without assumptions, but recognizing them – in our own thinking as well as in others – is vital if we are to avoid falling into serious error. Assumptions are beliefs; if they were proven they would not be assumptions.”
Herbert Schlossberg, Idols for Destruction, Crossway, 1990. Pg 8.
