never mind have a good weekend
January 18, 2019 at 23:09
if you would like, you can make a supernatural description of something you call an Easter bunny, and depending on how you describe its actions or cap...
January 18, 2019 at 21:09
no I am saying there IS EVIDENCE, scientific evidence, that we know what bunnies are. I am also saying there is scientific evidence that we know the c...
January 18, 2019 at 21:05
it was in P1 I believe - it was defined as a belief in a supernatural entity In hindsight I would have been better of just having a proposition that t...
January 18, 2019 at 20:49
but let us please please get back on track - i am being very generous in entertain all these diversions. you contest P3 - " it is not a fact that god ...
January 18, 2019 at 20:23
no - as I said it is a fact that such things as bunnies exist, it is a fact we know the capabilities of these things we call bunnies, it is a fact tha...
January 18, 2019 at 20:18
i would say if we can agree on what a bunny is - and not go off into some definition argument and we can say we know something factual about the capab...
January 18, 2019 at 20:10
please now sum up where we are on your objections to my argument on P3 - what is your current objection, and its basis onP,4-7 I think you have alread...
January 18, 2019 at 20:05
I would say the only thing factual that can be said on the lack of empirical evidence, is that it is a lack or empirical evidence. there is however al...
January 18, 2019 at 20:02
I agree completely with that statement If you go back to the beginning I never propositioned all 3 - all three were thrown in by those trying to argue...
January 18, 2019 at 19:24
No - that was a argument - if you remember way back to the first time - my argument back was - the lack of empirical evidence is a very good reasonabl...
January 18, 2019 at 19:20
second aside - I have no clue what so ever is so hard about an acknowledgement that there is no knowledge that we can elevate to fact to say that God ...
January 18, 2019 at 19:15
wait - take that back - you have supplied one - - no empirical evidence - which i addressed, that is how it works.
January 18, 2019 at 19:12
supply just one and I will let you know.
January 18, 2019 at 19:09
because you have yet to supply any reason whatsoever behind you statement - i even tried to do it for you on the last one. You need to support your st...
January 18, 2019 at 19:04
maybe easier if i make this point about unicorns. P1 - it is not a matter of fact that unicorns exist on earth P2 - it is not a matter of fact that un...
January 18, 2019 at 18:54
because - - - - - -- that is just one more declarative statement without support - what i imagine you are saying here is a noseeum argument - " i have...
January 18, 2019 at 18:46
to recap you challenge P3 - due to lack of empirical evidence I challenge that lack of empirical evidence does not elevate to fact you challenge back ...
January 18, 2019 at 18:35
if your talking about my argument - not sure how much clearer it could be they a labeled as propositions.
January 18, 2019 at 18:24
what view are you talking about ??
January 18, 2019 at 18:22
agree completely
January 18, 2019 at 18:12
you just continue to make declarative statements without support. I understand what you think about the matter - but your opinion is not an argument -
January 18, 2019 at 18:05
No, I would just say that it's either a fact that God is, or it's a fact that God is not. And the issue as a whole, i.e. whether or not God exists, is...
January 18, 2019 at 18:04
un basically - that is again - just opinion - which is fine - but one can not defeat a proposition in an argument simply because it is your opinion it...
January 18, 2019 at 17:40
yea can see that - agree - back to the drawing board -
January 18, 2019 at 17:35
back to the original argument - I challenge your objection to P3 - due to lack of empirical evidence in support of P3. There was not empirical evidenc...
January 18, 2019 at 17:30
your point is just where exactly on the good - evil continuum you want to draw the line - meaningless. If memory serves, statement in the AFE is - Evi...
January 18, 2019 at 17:23
Lack of empirical evidence is a reasonable argument that God is not. It does not elevate the proposition God is not to the level of fact.
January 18, 2019 at 17:21
this is an aside - this is just the same old - lets argue about definitions and not the concept in question. Very very tiresome and unproductive. Espe...
January 18, 2019 at 17:17
do you have an argument to support ??
January 18, 2019 at 17:09
unsupported - that is just opinion - fine - than using that definition i still say P4 - P7 stand unless you can make an argument they "unreasonable" a...
January 18, 2019 at 17:06
so using YOUR own understanding of MATTER OF FACT - you cant say either God is or is not a matter of fact ?? because: I have no idea at all what any o...
January 18, 2019 at 17:02
i agree with that - go on don't stop there - using your understanding of "matter of fact" can you say either god is a matter of fact, or can you say G...
January 18, 2019 at 16:51
wondering what you think of this as a workable definition of truth - truth is something one believes and tries to act in accordance with. I want to li...
January 18, 2019 at 16:42
that may be the heart of our disagreement - I do not find that inconsistent at all. I think there can be competing reasonable arguments for the same p...
January 18, 2019 at 16:36
let me see if this helps - I am about to flip a fair coin It is a matter of fact that the result will be a head or a tail It is not a matter of fact t...
January 18, 2019 at 16:26
agree -
January 18, 2019 at 16:19
Condolezza Rice, Colin Powell, John Kasich, Will Hurd, Rex Tillerson, General Mttis, John Kelly - more probably if I though more- But the more importa...
January 18, 2019 at 15:17
I am using reasonable as based on reason. - not sure what you mean by " that is not evaluative" - can you explain. and not sure what any of that has t...
January 18, 2019 at 15:01
maybe we are having a semantic argument: let me try an example - I find the argument from evil a reasonable argument. the logic is good, the preemies ...
January 18, 2019 at 14:57
how about we try it out in specific - here is my full argument - P1. There exist such things as Theists – defined as human beings who believe in some ...
January 18, 2019 at 14:41
and I think i need a bridge between and they seem a little at odds
January 18, 2019 at 14:37
Completely objective reasonableness may be an unreachable standard. However the concept of reasonableness being nothing more than an individual judgem...
January 18, 2019 at 14:36
this may help - do you believe it is possible for there to be competing reasonable arguments both for and against a specific point?
January 18, 2019 at 13:57
i mean just because you find it unreasonable - does not mean it is unreasonable.
January 18, 2019 at 13:55
opinions are your right - your belief in specific that a position is unreasonable - does not make the belief unreasonable in the general. and all your...
January 18, 2019 at 13:42
Not really i believe it is possible to have reasonable arguments on both sides of an issue. And if one feels compelled to take a position on the issue...

You left out my answer back here Which as far as I know Isaac has not responded to. It is systematic of you entire argument, variable, illogical, and ...
January 18, 2019 at 10:47
I have no clue at all what you are saying about the factual existence of god and neither do you.
