Yes, despite your word smithing and personal definition of God, The Argument From Evil, is, was, and has always been an atheistic argument against the...
The compensating good for all the evil caused by the acts of men is free will. If you consider free willed beings to be a good, then you must accept t...
As a point of clarity, the argument from evil, is an argument made by an atheist, as a proof God does not exist. The burden of proof is on the atheist...
understand - and you are correct the trinity is generally believed by all Christians. My point was in reference to yours in it was ex scripture. Which...
Just a quick point. The divinity of Jesus, and the trinity as a belief of the church was a product of Nicea. This was a Catholic doctrine. In Catholic...
There are 3 ways one can believe something to be true and act accordingly 1. Fact - prior to the world of Trump anyway facts just are. 2 + 2 = 4. One ...
There are very many people, completely in their right mind who find the skeptical theism argument for compensating goods quite reasonable. Your point ...
Agree - the trinity is a matter of faith. Faith, other than reasons for its existence are not matters of philosophy. There are no rational arguments f...
The ontological argument has valid arguments against, but to my knowledge has not been refuted I do agree the op is a restatement of the ontological a...
The government could burn every tax dollar it gets, and still buy anything it wants with a key stroke. Economically, the only real purpose of taxes in...
I don't think it is possible to communicate in words in anyway the experience or sticking your hand in a fire. And while no issue that relative words ...
because i can see no possible way they could be identical. Could you? All the variables of my particular keyboard, the methods or way I type, the temp...
i didn't have the exact same tactile feel on my keyboard that you did, we had a different and individual sense of our purpose. Inform, impress, selfis...
i think all experiences are unique to the person experiencing them - by definition. Any attempt to communicate an experience is an abstraction, a cons...
As someone with some faith in the collective wisdom of the American people how does this happen. Is it just tribal, have we chosen sides, right or wro...
politics aside, I continue to be fascinated about how different people can view the same thing, and have such passionately different conclusions. The ...
and in fairness. Our President does a very good job of tossing out accusations as well, and that with the weight of the office of the Presidency of th...
thanks your answers. Very interested in how the loyal Trump supporters view things like this. Is there a line somewhere, is there some action, some li...
There was always the option of not taking the meeting with Russian nationals to see what dirt they have on your opponent, and then report them to the ...
Just a quick question - doesn't the large chain of now completely verifiable lies about the Trump Tower meeting give you any pause? I mean they went f...
My point is very easy to argue against. Show me another complex system where you believe chance was more probable than design, and I will readily admi...
My point is, if the gravitational constant could only be what it is, and the weak force could only be what it is, and the strong force could only be w...
The thought experiment using the deck of cards, is firstly about the order of the deck of cards. When one observes something that seems ordered, and g...
This is exactly the point I have been trying to make. If one believes in the possibility of a supernatural designer. A true agnostic ( not so sure the...
i think the only thing a deck of cards is identical with is a deck of cards. and the only thing that is identical with the physical constraints are th...
on the issue of FTA as a proof that God exists, or more broadly any proof of God is my comments are: IMO FTA fails as a proof that God is. It does so ...
FTA is not making a truth statement about the nature of probability theory . Better said the truth statement would be, using the existing knowledge of...
In reverse order I propose the probability of rolling a 1 on a fair 6 sided dice is one chance in 6 is a true statement. That is a fair point, even if...
here is a $400m dollar tweet "The globalist Koch Brothers, who have become a total joke in real Republican circles, are against Strong Borders and Pow...
let me try a different though experiment to highlight it. You are taking a hike in the mountains. You come to fork in the trail, at the fork you see 1...
It seem to me, maybe incorrectly, from many of the responses that some are not clear on the form of the FTA. It is not a proof of anything. It is just...
My understanding of the argument goes: 1. sentient, moral agent beings like us exist. 2. in order for beings like us to exist those values, along with...
yet again - you are trying to change the "what is" That is not an argument against FTA. You are in effects saying "ok lets just say the facts were dif...
no, these constants exist - with or without our knowledge of them. They existed long before we were aware of them and had the tools to quantity or exp...
I disagree - as per the deck of cards experiment. There is little doubt that design is the most probable answer for the FTA. It is just that theists, ...
both the cosmological arguments, and the FTA rest on using some supernatural element as an hypothesis for an unknown. Other than that I do not see muc...
The reasoning is self evident to me at least. And the entire point is the deck is in order. If the deck was in some random order, it would change my a...
