What in the world are you talking about?

You have certain principles of logic, observation, etc. that you rely on to determine what is true and what is untrue. For example, you probably rely on your senses to provide accurate information, you rely on certain rules of deductive and inductive reasoning, etc.

Within that framework, you can make predictions that you are sufficiently confident of to say that you "know" this or that.

But if your framework started with "God exists, the Bible is the Word of God, infalliable, absolute truth" and proceed from there, you would make a whole set of different predictions about what you "know."

Within the different frameworks, the knowledge is roughly equally certain and convincing.

People who have the different frameworks will have different beliefs about what they know and what is true.

And there is NO way to prove that either framework is more or less true than the other framework. That's the big problem.
