Re: Ontological Argument.

It is a direct derivative of both the prime mover and first causation arguments. If everything exists has a cause and requires a mover then the first mover must be uncaused. Since there's anything at all, the first cause is the greatest of all existence (and therefore the greatest we can imagine). ...

Re: Ontological Argument.

I will help shed some light on this one since I'm probably the one who uses the argument and I have adequate explanatory for it. Unfortunately, when people attempt to explain the argument or give it without carefully thinking about it, they end up leaving pretty important information out (like Ivell...

Re: Craig vs Harris Debate

Dudeacus97, that guy has some pretty flawed reasoning. Percentages are misleading, wars don't die, people do. Christians are fond of attributing wars to atheists. Many times due only to the lack of religious beliefs of the rulers of those societies themselves. And, more often then not, the wars hav...

Re: Philosophy: Theology and Mathematics

Wha? :? I honestly have no clue how you could possibly come to that conclusion but I'd like you to back that up if you would (in a different thread of course). We can do it here. Its not off topic or derailing this thread. Just want say that we're talking strictly about Mathematics here. Not any th...

Re: Philosophy: Theology and Mathematics

That is an interesting point - that God cannot invent as that implies something he did not know before - never thought of it like that. Just wanted to make clear that my position isn't that God invented Math. (in someone else's response to me) I said Mathematics exists and is true because and ONLY ...

Re: Common fallacies that the apologist NEEDS to KNOW vol.1

I ask questions. That's my way of doing things. If you are bothered by that, don't answer. The fact that I ask them again and again is because I do not think I have the right answer. Directed at Daniel, but still needs to be addressed. Bryan, what you are doing here isn't "ask questions"....

Re: PRAYING VERSUS ACTING

Welcome Dr. Kowalski Thank you for sharing your article with us. I had a question and comments I wanted make in regards to your article. Have you read Where the Conflict Really Lies: Science, Religion, and Naturalism by Alvin Plantinga? If you don't mind me quoting your article since it is from an e...

Re: Common fallacies that the apologist NEEDS to KNOW vol.1

Look Dom, I'm not going to argue with you anymore because there is no point in that. Bryan, you've provided no such argument to begin with. If you don't even have any explanation or evidence for your position, then it is simply dismissed. Its as simple as that, Bryan. ***I have already participated...

Re: Common fallacies that the apologist NEEDS to KNOW vol.1

Then what about the frame of time between when the body was placed in the tomb and the actual arrival of the guards? Since you don't like my corruption story... Maybe you would like a more plausible one. No Bryan. Your corruption story isn't simply because "I don't like it". Your corrupti...

Re: Philosophy: Theology and Mathematics

Anyway, the point I was first trying to make was that I thought there were similarities between Theology and Mathematics in that we deal with the Abstract. Hopefully, others might join in the conversation. You know, I've been pondering what you said here for a little while since I evidently missed ...

Re: Why did God create Man?

Dan, this actually bothers me as well. Thanks for raising this topic. For me, this has a lot to do with the creation of man I'll have a go at it. In my opinion, God started Creation because of Man. Is this considered a circular argument? Any other takers? ~Grey This entire thread premise isn't real...

Re: Advocating Atheism

Listen, I know what misinformation and disinformation is. What you seem to not be getting is that BY DEFINITION and IN UNDERSTANDING they are FALSE. Again, I have stated that you've assumed WITH NO JUSTIFICATION that relativism is axiomatic. Are you implying that our individual perspectives are infa...

Re: Advocating Atheism

You are completely misunderstanding. Anything that isn't information is a falsehood. It matters not a single bit if the agent behind the falsehood has done so intentionally or not. You say one man's information is another's misinformation as if their perspective matters. It doesn't. You've assumed t...

Re: Common fallacies that the apologist NEEDS to KNOW vol.1

You are saying that in a corrupted roman empire those soldiers or someone else higher up the ranks couldn't have taken bribe. I beg to differ. Be serious... Corrupt? You must be joking. The centurion, nor the soldiers in the company would have taken a bribe. Again, you show very little knowledge of...
