If I am correct about the pressupositional methodology, one cannot prove scripture. Insted scripture is axiomatic and the reference point for all revelation and truth. Yes, evidence is important such as the arguments for creation, prophecy, archeology but ultimately one is relying soly on faith (given by Gods reedeeming grace) and working forward to show that scripture is further reliable with evidence. Evidentialists start backwards, they say that scripture must be proven and then the evidence is so overwheliming that one must accept it hence why this method is the preffered method (as far as I know) in arminian camps.
