Another basic tenet of Presuppositional Apologetics is the certainty of Christianity. It's not about a leap of blind faith. God can be known with certainty.Scriptures teach that God reveals Himself to us in unmistakable ways. The choice not to acknowledge Him is a willful act to suppress the obvious.
But we're not talking about whether men actually set foot on the moon in 1969. This is something that - if it's true - is the most fundamental fact of reality. God is Creator and in Him all other facts have their being. So when proving such a fundamental concept, circularity is unavoidable.
Consider the laws of logic. Can you prove them? Nope. To prove them, you have to use them - and therefore, assume them before they're proven. [take a minute on that one ... and check out the picture while you're at it - if you obey it, you disobey it; if you disobey it, you obey it.]
We know they exist though, because - like God - without them, you can't prove anything. They are true, by rational necessity, because of the impossibility of the contrary.
