I don't think I'm confusing the two, but noting how they often go hand in hand and are often used together.

One can be a presuppositionalist and use evidences all day long, although I have personally found it far more helpful to challenge their presuppositions. http://www.vantil.info/articles/vtfem.html#AIII1
How can a truly presuppositional argument use "evidences?" I thought it was a presuppositional argument? [VanTil vs. Clark.... ]

As far as TAG can only disprove the argument in front of it (don't confuse presuppositionalism with a single argument), so what?

I don't mean to sound harsh in this post at all, but this is how we learn.
I listen to the radio program that told the presuppositionalist to respond to this object with "so what?" I know I'm new to the study of philosophy but isn't the TAG argument guilty of the fallacy of induction? Attempting to assert itself as true when it is only true when compared to the worldview in front of it?
