I have heard Craig respond to this that this objection confuses moral epistemology with moral ontology. He says he is trying to give an account of why...

I think that they mean the 3 following points: 1. If X changes, then X was caused to change by something that is not X. 2. If X changes or has the met...

How do you look at the distinction between potentially infinite lines and actually infinite lines? Are they truly distinct?

Can you explain further?

Interesting. In the Stanford encylopedia, they mentioned that Aristotle tried to resolve the paradox by introducing potential infinites. They state: "...

It looks like even Marx admits that his theory of history is flexible with historical facts (being able to accommodate any twist and turn in history) ...

I read a summary of it, but I haven't read the article yet. I know that Prof. Shoemaker is trying to defend the possibility that time could still pass...

You guys mean something like this: https://www.pdcnet.org/jphil/content/jphil_1969_0066_0012_0363_0381 Time passes but without change?

Maybe this video illustrates Craig's view better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKYeOUKwnxc @2:17 Craig says, "God wills something because he is goo...

Can you explain what the theist does wrong then?

I don't understand what you mean here. What do you mean when you say "God would be omnipotent with respect to his perfection, but that's exactly not b...

Don't theists argue that God is both perfect and omnipotent? Are those two things incompatible?

Well, under eternalism, those thoughts were not determined by anything. They simply exist eternally. When one sets up a series of dominoes and tips ov...

The issue is if one can say that x caused y in eternalism and it seems like one must argue that x and y eternally coexist, but are not the cause of ea...

Can you explain what you mean? How does that affect the possibility of either determinism, indeterminacy, libertarian free will and compatiblism if al...

@ Luke, Please note that I don't intend to argue that eternalism is true, only that the reductio ad absurdum style argument you make does not succeed....

I guess I am one of the few rightists on this place?

I don't have an opinion here. I am totally neutral.

Moral skeptics deny that anyone has moral knowledge, but we are not moral nihilists so we do not deny that morality exists. We simply are agnostic.

Moral realism is the position that morality is real. So yes.

I am a moral skeptic so I don't know. I think that most theists will argue that since humanity was bequeathed with a rational mind (made in God's imag...

I am not familiar with all theistic moral theories, but I think that Richard Swinburne has argued that some moral statements - such as genocide is wro...

The answer I hear from theists is that God is identical to Goodness.

You asked, and I think that theists reply that God's nature is logical.

Did I define omnipotence incorrectly?

Isn't stated that God's nature is logical?

God's omnipotence entails him being able to do anything logically possible. So if you ask, "can God do X," then you must first examine whether X is lo...

I see. Well, I wasn't trying to say that Eleatism is false simply if we assume that mereological atomism is true. What I am saying is that both wings ...

If it hasn't been already recommended, then try buying an intro to logic book. that is always a good first step.

This just seems like hasty thinking. Clearly, they will reject Aristotle's essentialism and so they can easily answer Aristotle's reductio ad absurdum...

Thanks for your reply. Would you like to help answer some of my questions? You seem pretty smart so I hope you may help me. The issue I have with this...

Devans you keep making similar threads about infinity. Here is the deal, infinity is used differently in mathematics than how its used in everyday con...

I am guessing that "objective morality" means morality that exists as a real feature of reality and not just as part of human aesthetic preferences or...

What is time exactly? And what is meant by causation? It seems like these two words need to be defined before we can answer whether it is possible tha...

Doesn't quantum mechanics reveal that Einsteinian physics can't be used to describe whatever happened during the big bang or black holes?

Do you think capitalists play no role in the profits that are made? If you are a marxist, then I imagine you believe in Marx's theory of value?

I appreciate the input.

The issue here is that this is a false analogy. The father, son and holy spirit are all distinct from each other in a real sense and not in the sense ...

I want to know if it is logically coherent. I am not asking for anyone to prove it as true or false.

1. The father is God, the holy spirit is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. 2. The father, son and holy spirit are distinct. 3. There is only One God. H...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabellianism I personally don't believe it is heretical, but other Christians have condemned it as such and I am just re...

If you reread what I wrote in the introduction, I never say that the video argues that the trinity is indeed illogical only that the video is a good i...

Of course, the video was only to help start a conversation.

I agree if you want to reduce Jesus as only a part of God, but the doctrine of the trinity means that Jesus is not just part of God, but fully God. In...

Again, that is modalism.

Since you brought it up, why not make the argument that you think Aquinas makes and then we can see if it is worth the time?

Modalism is a heresy. It is not illogical.

alright, but many Christians do consider what church fathers had to say as important though, but I am sorry for being presumptuous.

https://www.theopedia.com/modalism Church fathers it seems.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_WPuPdFsIg @ 0:26, the video explains what modalism is and states that it is considered heretical. Your example of ho...
