Question Assumptions to Uncover Truth

Critical examination of historical texts necessitates questioning underlying assumptions about their validity. The skepticism toward prophetic scripture, such as the Bible, presupposes its falsehood, which is not conclusively proven. Acknowledging that prophecy may contain genuine foresight challenges interpretations that limit its relevance to later historical events, specifically in the context of ancient empires. The argument against recognizing the continuity between the Medes and Persians further illustrates the flaws in a skeptical viewpoint, reinforcing the need to evaluate narratives holistically rather than fragmentarily.
