Today we reach the third anniversary of Incinerating Presuppositionalism. Yes, on this date in 2005 I began this blog, and it seems like yesterday. But so much has happened since then, a lot of material got published, and it seems that presuppositionalism is finally being abandoned by many who enthusiastically championed it. This past year was particularly productive for me, with the rollout of several series focusing on specific interactions, including my comprehensive review of Bahnsen’s defense of supernaturalism.
Below is a listing of all the blogs which posted since the second anniversary of my blog.

There's still a lot of work yet to do. So I now embark on the fourth year of Incinerating Presuppositionalism. I didn't get to everything I had planned to do in the third year, so the fourth year already has its work cut out for itself. I have lots of stuff in the mill, some almost ready to roll out. Hopefully I'll be able to carve out some time in my schedule so that I can finish it and post it up on this blog. So stay tuned, keep your eyes on the bouncing ball, for it moves quick.
