Happenstance

You're right in implying it's a bold assumption. I adhere to the metaphysical doctrine of physicalism and do so based on my experiences and my rationa...

I may ponder: If all entities existing are physical then non-physical entities don't exist. If deities are non-physical entities then deities don't ex...

You: "Okay, don't take this the wrong way, but that gibberish didn't explain one's epistemic truth." Me: "What way should I take it given no explanati...

Tick tock, tick tock.

I do think what may be constituted as evidence as subjective.

What way should I take it given no explanation why it's gibberish? It may be gibberish but you don't seem to be forthcoming on why so.

Personally I loathe to use the word God as I see it as a honorific title and myself would say a lack of belief in deity. I see belief as being a parti...

If I may, I'd like to ask you what your understanding of atheism is?

You do seem fixated on the idea that order is sufficient for design, so say for argument's sake I agree with you that order is sufficient to imply des...

I've been an atheist most of my adult life and in the real world (that is, not on internet forums) it didn't, and doesn't, influence my decisions grea...

Yeah I suppose you could say that the kids and the hamster designed room A but the missus and I would like room B please. Should we add the clause tha...

Good to see you own your condescending attitude!

Sir, I do not give one fig for your crappy argument or your condescending attitude.

Atheism is a religion: :up: Obligatory Einstein quote: :up: NDE's: :up: Sense of wonderment: :up: obligatory condescending LOL in lieu of any understa...

Being a parent and a one-time pet owner, I’d have picked room A because things being in disarray is a sure sign of occupancy, I’d probably say, ‘Round...

In Aletheist's quote that you yourself quoted, s/he is saying that deductive arguments are non-ampliative, that is: there is nothing in the conclusion...

:rofl:

You really should get this tattoo to remind you. Maybe on your abnormal forhead wrote backwards so you can see it in a mirror

^ doesn't understand logic synbols. Shocker. I guess to someone like yourself, it would look like worms, much like a child's interpretation: 'Miss, th...

I thought of another tattoo for you: I'm confusing Happenstance for someone who gives a shit about my crappy argument!

:lol: :lol: :lol: You must have one seriously fat arse. How does that work? Do you have, ‘would it interest you that I’ve never’, on the left cheek an...

“(>?)” A deductive argument is non-ampliative which is what aletheist is stating in definitional form. This is logic 101. But the stolen valour and sh...

Is this okay: https://66.media.tumblr.com/7af6226e7e307ac2c19bff402ed54245/tumblr_nhin0sYAlv1u2afoto1_250.gif

Nah you're okay fella, I've got to go now but I'll be back with more vulgar insults seeing as you like me more now! :up:

Nothing like having your tongue stuck up your own arse, eh! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Nah, You saying ' I dun don't know any greek symbols' and shitting your pants was funnier. 'I thought I was done and dusted! Game over man! Game over!...

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Pee Wee Herman of argumentation.

That I do get! I do it all the time myself! :up:

I'm happy you got a laugh because you read like an uptight serious angry gobshite!

I don't get it! :chin:

Even though I don't adhere to any form of idealism, I quite like F. H. Bradley's quote: - Appearance and Reality, preface (1893).

:lol: :lol: :lol: I'm laughing at myself as well because I should've realised by now that I don't have the medical or clinical training to deal with y...

@"Echarmion" is right, your argument is valid (known as a reductio ad absurdum or indirect proof, not modus tollens) but it is trivial. All you're bas...

I'm off to bed now so I attempt an answer with more explanatory scope if possible in regards to your last question. Good chat though!

My point is about quantification of subjects being predicated. if a universal statement about all supermen or all Lois Lanes or all Bartricks then we ...

Like I mentioned before, I valuing something are singular subjects(I and something) being predicated(value), so you've made a connection between I val...

When quantifying a singular such as superman we treat predicates as a connectives rather than implications because by saying superman is barticks, we ...

Thanks for the vote of confidence but I think I've made a couple of mistakes. I've misread premise 1). I read 'If moral values are my values, then if ...

I noticed that 3b. started with the connective word and. Also I put 3a and 3b into truth functional form, atomic sentences within if.. then conditiona...

Maybe, if The Word then all things being, and if not The Word then not the case that all things being: ?x?y

I appreciate your honesty and would it interest you that I've never actually took a course in formal logic? I taught myself and am only an amateur and...

First order predicate logic is needed because different domains are forwarded and their variables need to be quantified. For example, when stating, I ...

Newton didn’t do any experiments with regard to his laws of motion and gravity*. He believed that Kepler’s laws of a heliocentric model of the solar s...

The way I read it is that in the times of Heraclitus, Parmenides, Zeno, et al. it was widely believed that stuff permeated everywhere, whether that st...

Thanks :up:

I’ve never been a theist and so I tend to read the story at face value. It seems to me that it's not talking about morality but rather making a distin...
