Though I don't know if it's been covered before (you could always do a search) I'd say go for it! I'll certainly support it! Perhaps the only other qu...

Nice! I like that reasoning. Kind of reminds me of the phenomena of love. "I don't really know how to explain it, but I feel so in love". However, sho...

It's called inductive reasoning; not deduction (which is what the OP is primarily based upon).

That's correct, and history has recorded same! A God who designed consciousness.

Absolutely and right-on brother! For one, that's what Phenomenology entails (i.e.: the ineffable experience)!

Answer: Vagueness, Bivalence, Gödel and Heisenberg. Frank doesn't want to talk to you anymore LOL

Hello angry atheist! Frank's Agnosticism can be summed-up in the concept/principle of Bivalence/Vagueness: Consider the following statement in the cir...

If the concept was incoherent, why would it matter if Jesus existed? I don't get it ?? Nope. One, it's incoherent according to you and two, Jesus was ...

I know. A lot of them seem like they have an axe to grind and are angry at the world. It's strange.

I voted good pick. I think her and Corey Booker are similar, Corey perhaps a bit more articulate. Nevertheless, I like that she's a woman of mixed rac...

180 is a lot like his avatar. He gets upset easily. LOL

But you said the ignosticist considers God-talk incoherent, now you're suggesting it is not. So that's the first contradiction. No matter... , but for...

Sure. For an atheist it would be (assuming many default to nihilism) because there is a denial of something rather than nothing.

Okay you're changing your position then. You're saying that it's coherent it's just that you are undecided. That's fine but that's not what you said.

Great! Then it sounds more like agnosticism because you understand certain concepts of a God, you just don't take any position on it, or do you? Seems...

In this context, your epistemic evasion is nihilism, because there is something instead of nothing. And as such, you have faith and belief in nihilism...

I see. Two arguments. Consider your quoted definition within the context of your participation in this thread. 1.How would you translate the thread ti...

.... But with all due respect we're not selling shoes. We're discussing philosophy viz the concept of a God. Logic is just a means to an end.

Schopenhauer talked about the metaphysical will in nature. What in the human condition comprises the will to live or the will to die? Is it more than ...

Then stay with logical possibility, induction, a posteriori phenomena, metaphysics, existential angst, and other meaningful human condition kinds of c...

Take Ontology out of the equation, that would make it more conducive and appropriate for a traditional cosmological argument from physics/science/math...

The obvious pitfall of Ignosticism is that it's tantamount to arguing straw men. And that is because you arrived at the conclusion of ambivalence abou...

Precisely why an ontological argument lacks meaning. It's based on mathematics which is a priori. Living life (Being) is not exclusively mathematics a...

1.Because you're associating a cosmological God with an ontological God. 2. Think more in terms of synthetic propositions and logical possibility. 3. ...

Of course. I understand the need to posit or approach causation with the obvious super-turtle concept known as God. But once again you're bringing ont...

I hate to keep harping on this but that's precisely logical necessity. The reason for its existence is within itself. That doesn't prove anything. And...

Okay now you're changing from a logically necessary, causational Being, to a logically possible Being. Are you going to change your propositional mode...

Sorry for the piecemeal, but that's not true. The conscious and subconscious mind violate rules of Bivalence/LEM. It suggests that you yourself are ou...

Exactly my point. What is: "the rest". ??

No apologies necessary, thank you. We're critiquing here. The universe, before the BB was supposedly in a state of entropy, accelerated expansion, spa...

It does seem like a cop out. I looked up the difference between ignosticism and agnosticism and basically it follows thus: Agnosticism= I don't know i...

You might find Wheeler's PAP interesting then...

The argument is sound but it lacks its existential meaning, like the infamous a priori ontological argument. Basically, you're saying: 'there exists a...

I would strongly urge you to google logical necessity. You have accepted your logically necessary universe, just just like have accepted your logicall...

Are you sure? I mean it sounds like you are arguing cosmological existence by way of logical necessity, no? As long as we insist on identifying unders...

Yes, conscious existence.

Lack of perfection and/or finitude is the euphemism for the metaphorical concept known as the devil/evil . Consider that you may be getting lost in th...

Other than a Dipolar God, not sure... I'm stumped That multiverse is logically possible?

Excellent point about love. In Christianity, Jesus was basically a pacifist and was mostly about spreading love. And what is love but yet another myst...

Agreed. I don't know why Eric needs to know whether you are a religious person or not. It indeed seems irrelevant. They are words in a history book. T...

Have you studied Dark energy/matter?

I did a thesis years ago and asked whether God was a subjective or objective truth. After much debate the answer was both ( albeit it was relatively g...

Very nice! I'm subscribed! My gut reaction relates to logical possibility and logical necessity. When I get more time I'll be happy to add some though...

A couple basic recommendations would be to argue specific questions regarding the nature of existence (Metaphysics). Two quick thoughts: 1. Catnap was...

Awesome questions! Are electrons and photons physical? Both, because they are both energy and mass. Much like the brain. Both energy and mass. In shor...

Of course, but you can't deny that without the object itself, there would be no such thing as an aesthetic experience. It's logically necessary for th...

It does occupy a space. It's part of space itself.

That's a great question! If information doesn't pass with the extinction of time, and from Einstein's relativity the speed of light makes time stand s...

Agreed. That's another reason why the Hologram principle works. And that's because it follows the first law of thermodynamics known as, the Law of Con...

Okay. Then it sounds like both space contains information and energy, and information and energy occupy space. All that describes is the distinction b...
