Creationists often appeal to the facts of science to support their view, and evolutionists often appeal to philosophical assumptions from outside science.
Jonathan Sarfati
Image
A central theme of all about love is that from childhood into adulthood we are often taught misguided and false assumptions about the nature of love. Perhaps the most common false assumption about love is that love means we will not be challenged or changed.
Bell Hooks
Image
It is true that classical libertarian thought is opposed to state intervention in social life, as a consequence of deeper assumptions about the human need for liberty, diversity, and free association.
Noam Chomsky
Image
People do make assumptions about models. That's their issue, not mine. It doesn't bother me because I'm comfortable enough in my own skin - I know who I am.
Lily Cole
Image
Progress is a set of assumptions.
Edward Albee
Image
I think the reason why 'Red Eye' is popular is because we question the common assumptions that you find elsewhere.
Greg Gutfeld

Originality is dangerous. It challenges, questions, overturns assumptions, unsettles moral codes.
Salman Rushdie
Image
The Japanese director Tadashi Suzuki once stated, 'International cultural exchange is impossible - therefore we must try.' I agree with all my heart. The impossibility of seeing beyond one's own cultural context is a political act in the world and has the potential to break down the rigid assumptions surrounding us.
Anne Bogart
Image
Friendship with a man is friendship with his virtue, and does not admit of assumptions of superiority.
Mencius
Image
I've found that I can only change how I act if I stay aware of my beliefs and assumptions. Thoughts always reveal themselves in behavior.

Image
Each generation criticizes the unconscious assumptions made by its parent. It may assent to them, but it brings them out in the open.
Alfred North Whitehead
Image
That's what a community is: taking for granted certain assumptions, not having to start from zero every time. This is no longer true.
Susan Sontag
Image
Assumptions are the things we don't know we're making.
Douglas Adams
Image
The future is better dealt with using assumptions than forecasts.
Russell L. Ackoff
Image
A tornado of thought is unleashed after each new insight. This in turn results in an earthquake of assumptions. These are natural disasters that re-shape the spirit.
Vera Nazarian
Image
We never look beyond our assumptions and what's worse, we have given up trying to meet others we just meet ourselves.
Muriel Barbery
Image
Don't make assumptions. Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want.
Miguel Angel Ruiz
Image
Only the careless leave a possibility unattended due to assumptions.
Laurie R. King
Image
The people I respect most behave as if they were immortal and as if society was eternal. Both assumptions are false: both of them must be accepted as true if we are to go on eating and working and loving, and are to keep open a few breathing holes for the human spirit.
E. M. Forster
Image
In ridiculing a pathetic human fallacy, which seeks explanation where none need be sought and which multiplies unnecessary assumptions, one should not mimic primitive ontology in order to challenge it. Better to dispose of the needless assumption altogether. This holds true for everything from Noah's flood to the Holocaust.
Christopher Hitchens
Image
The creative individual has the capacity to free himself from the web of social pressures in which the rest of us are caught. He is capable of questioning the assumptions that the rest of us accept.
John W. Gardner
Image
We must strive for literacy and education that teach us to never quit questioning and probing at the assumptions of the day.
Bryant H. McGill
Image
Those that think my clothes are androgynous also still believe that women should look like Barbie dolls. That's precisely the problem, the deep-rooted assumptions about what is feminine.
Ann Demeulemeester
Image
People have had certain ­assumptions in the past about ­Conservative governments, partly because of some of the things that happened in the 1980s, and partly because of the tone of some of the debate in the 1980s that appeared to say public spending on the arts was something you might want to progressively ­reduce.
