Which number(s) do you object to?

I understand philosophy involves argument and counter-argument. All you do is waffle. SPECIFIC ON TOPIC COUNTER ARGUMENTS PLEASE

Well as no-one can articulate exactly what is the problem with my probability calculations, I can hardly be expected to answer that question.

I put some thought into the calculations 4 and 5 as explained above. I am not trolling. I thought that life after death is a subject that is of natura...

Can you be clear on exactly what you are disagreeing with please. That way it may be clearer if there is a misunderstanding.

I am afraid I do not have much of a web presence if thats what you mean. Not even a Facebook page.

I have presented a probability analysis in the OP for the basis of discussion. Please indicate which parts you regard as unsound.

A link to what?

I do not get you; this is a solipsism reference?

At least I have arguments. NO COUNTER ARGUMENTS IN YOUR POSTS!

I think it is a mixture of people not understanding my argument and not liking my argument because it offends their atheist sensibilities.

Cheap shot. I think you are very closed minded.

I am an amateur astronomer. I am also an amateur philosopher. I have not had anything published but then I have not tried until recently. Just saying ...

NO COUNTER ARGUMENTS IN YOUR POST. What I would appreciate is reasoned, specific, on topic counter arguments rather than waffle.

I think you don't understand my argument. We have statistics for how 'thin air' behaves - the normal distribution. If you cannot assign a probability ...

I am working on several papers. I find it helpful to bounce my ideas off people. And (some) people seem interested anyway. So what is the problem with...

I am an astronomer. And Aquinas was one of the most brilliant men to ever live. The definition of a troll is someone who makes offensive posts. My pos...

Exactly what are you disagreeing with - can you be specific please.

You are going against the scientific method. You are condemned to ever live in darkness. You might as well sign up for a religion with that axiom.

I think people reject my ideas because they are uncomfortable with where they lead. There is no logical basis for strong atheism for example and my id...

So you admit your axiomatical system of the world includes 'magic can happen'? You are not going to be able to reason much about the world with such a...

You have something wrong with your logic if you doubt a first cause. Its like you've got an axiom in there somewhere equivalent to 'sure magic can hap...

Yes I'm sorry, I'm not using S-Logic.

I think you will find that you do probability calculations all the time. Should I get on that plane? The last one did not crash. That sort of thing. Y...

I do modify my stance if someone comes up with a valid counter argument. Link to an example of where I have ignored a valid counter argument

Same could be asked of you

How would you explain the results of the quantum eraser experiment if it is not past real eternalism? How would you explain a start of time with prese...

Again, no counter argument. You can't just say its a poor argument and not say why. This is a philosophy forum.

Typical. No counter arguments. Please, for example, point out what you think 'I just made up in my head'.

WHAT COUNTER ARGUMENTS? This is getting very frustrating. The people who don't agree with me on this site use this strategy of claiming that my argume...

We have been through this before. You claim my points have been rebutted but you never give counter arguments or links to counter arguments. That is n...

If past-real eternalism is true, we are all, in a sense, eternal beings. That is not a long step from life after death. There is an element of devil's...

Yet you cannot provide any evidence of these alleged unaddressed counter-arguments. Why? No-one can provide me a link to these mysterious counter argu...

I do address all counter arguments fully. If you disagree, provide a link to such an unaddressed counter argument. Ok, so say someone gave you 100 boo...

I have not concluded anything to be deductively true; my ideas remain ideas, they have had a limited amount of cross examination and survived. So for ...

Hardly, there is logic behind it, I look at the axioms and say 'do I think that axiom applies to real life?' - if yes then the parts of maths dependin...

It is not, please explain.

Some of the axioms of math I do not believe, so there are parts of maths that I do not class as belief. Why is that strange?

I don't believe in very much as explained above. Eternalism for example, I hold a 50% conviction that it is true. That is not the same as a belief.

I read all responses. No-one came up with any valid counter arguments. I assigned a 50% probability that eternalism is true so no I am not concluding ...

Explain yourself...

It's good not to hold too many beliefs. I believe completely only in logic, probability, some of the rest of maths and what is deduced from 'I think t...

In the absence of any data about the frequency of car ownership, it is correct to assign a 50% probability that you own a car; it is a boolean proposi...

You could try grouping you ideas together into larger, less frequent, posts?

The first three are guesses. The fourth is calculated here: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/269149 The fifth is: (chance of eternali...

Interesting point. I think that statement (a) is not clear. It could be interpreted as a belief that no gods exist at all. I've tried to rephrase it b...

Interesting. Important to understand the prevailing cultural influences when reading Descartes (and other historical sources too). I'm not a Descartes...

Either there are two versions of logic or you are pigheaded, it might be the 2nd. I give up on this conversation :(

'People value things because they see them as being of worth or benefit' - IE they get some form of pleasure from them. How come you get everything wr...
