So, @"Metaphysician Undercover", I picture you sitting down with a piece of paper and a pen, and start writing out 1/9 using the simple mathematics yo...

Yep, no gods in any logic courses that I recall. So, still not substantiated. Seems confirmed. Caught in the act. Bullshitting for the occasion or lyi...

I can appreciate some of this stuff, . The Bible, the Quran, and Craig downright denies pluralism, however.

Check all these nifty numbers ... 90% ... 75% ... must be a study rounding up the statistics somewhere ... where'd ya' get'em all from, 3017amen? Some...

It's implicit. ;)

Philosophy can be a rabbit hole, should prolly' get back to your exam prep. ;) The stats aren't all that important. Religious (dis)beliefs or absence ...

Here's a real statistic, FYI: /uploads/files/2d/5kpjumyqe2t7034y.jpg What do philosophers believe? » Appendix 1: Detailed survey results (Bourget, Cha...

Feeling so special that you think the universe was fashioned with you in mind is self-elevation and personification. There's that fallacy once again, ...

"Seek the thread and you shall find." (sorry, too lazy to start finding the links to the comments)

@"Devans99", you don't get to brush established theories aside with a hand-wave because they don't accommodate your belief.

Hello, @"Devans99"? As (also already) mentioned, your and my belief don't matter; sorry, but we don't get to tell it all what it is, rather we adjust ...

Nope. Why do you think extrapolation sufficiently far back is increasingly problematic, and why we cannot extrapolate to a singularity (of infinite de...

Whatever you or I believe has little bearing on the truth of the matter. Our beliefs are the adjustable parts, and so we adjust our beliefs to it all,...

Yes. Twice now.

@"Devans99" wants to show an atemporal god "outside" it all. One that strangely acted deliberately and timelessly to create the universe. Nonsense, ye...

Already mentioned a couple options, : Ditch your hidden premise thus heading towards determinism; entertain abstract objects (which does not deny atem...

We can say what atemporal is not. Atemporal as "outside" it all would also be nowhere and nowhen, not even simultaneous with whatever. So demonstrate ...

Another hidden premise to be added to 1-3? Revise the argument? Anything else to add? Why? (Besides, both "deliberate" and "act" are loaded, indicatin...

:D Swiftly abandoning a lost cause (pun intended), I guess. As an aside, probably not everyone knows Banno's technical sense of bullshit: On Bullshit

(y) Invite @"Devans99" right over. I see ... Debate Proposals Debate Discussion But not in the more formal format.

Couldn't see this merged thread. Maybe it went missing or was cancelled or something.

The closest in the literature seems to be abstract objects. Labeling those "deities" or "God" would be a radical departure from religions though. No, ...

Still ignoring comments unabated as if non-existent. And how the heck would I know? But we do know some things, and "atemporal mind" ain't it (by all ...

Stick to the topic at hand, . (Are you going to just keep ignoring comments unabated as if non-existent?) By the way, nothing here is about whatever y...

, 1-3 just repeats your belief, 4-5 adds more of your belief outside the opening post, and all ignores the interlocutors unabated as if non-existent (...

And answering the question with that question is particularly pathetic in this instance. Without the likes of @"3017amen" having started talking about...

Sure, yet we do know some things at least, and can reason to some extent if careful. Don't just ? × ? - ? - 7 + ? / ? + 3 / ?, for one. The amount of ...

Doesn't really address anything. You want me to start coming up with things for the occasion as well? Start over. Try something more defensible.

Instead of such creative special pleading, shouldn't you try something a bit more defensible?

You can't have something timeless going about doing stuff. It's nonsense. Start over. Isn't this more or less a repeat of earlier posts of yours, ? :)

There's no logical or conceptual problem with infinite sets, like, say, \mathbb{N}_+ = \{1, 2, 3, \ldots\}. Would be kind of tedious for physicists an...

, indeed, calling infinitesimals goes along with (contemporary) calculus. They do occasionally come up as matters of convenience or tradition (e.g. in...

Looks like the confuzzlement mentioned earlier. There are infinitudes of numbers. Therefore there aren't numbers? Hmm...

The naturals aren't densely ordered like the rationals and the reals. ;)

, yeah, reading through the note takes familiarity with the mathematics and notation. And it's a fairly large area; might scare some away.

Both the rationals and the reals are densely ordered. For any two different numbers, there's a third between them. I suppose they might say that 0.999...

, typically when "0.999... = 1" is brought up, you'll find a flurry of objections, you just watch. :) Either way, I think the attached proof is valid,...
