Medicine itself is an empirical endeavor; we look at how things are. We look at the natural man. Yet medicine cannot tell us how things should be. Medicine is empirical in a lot of ways -- in its application -- but in its formation and its fundaments it is presuppositional. And the only proper presuppositions are those of Scripture, which are best stated in the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms, or documents like that, such as the Heidelberg Catechism.
