Historical or Theological Assurance

This debate shows the truth in Prov.26:4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. When we argue assuming the same presuppositions as the atheist we cannot arrive at certain truth. In this case the Evangelical textual critic leaves us with varying degrees of historical probability regarding the entire bible. Some parts are highly probable, other parts are less likely and some they still are not sure. But when challenged on recovering the original readings with a historical approach the Evangelical critic appeals to providence and abandons history.
