Thank you for the article Mark....this issue is very far reaching...awareness is key. Thanks again.

Hey Tim...all this talk about procreation on the forum got me to thinking about the old (abortion) 'personhood' debate viz Being and becoming. This al...

Imo two excellent questions. Develop #1 a bit more? E.g., what need is there for them to be reconciled. What, even, do the terms mean? Thank you Tim. ...

No worries Mww, it's all good. I'm far from an expert logician. Let me find another way to broach the concern and I'll respond accordingly. In the mea...

No worries Bartricks. It's all good. Thanks anyway.
October 25, 2019 at 17:22
Okay, put succinctly, reword the statement 'all events must have a cause' to validate its truth value.
October 25, 2019 at 15:29
Hey Tim, what I mean is the whole of the synthetic a priori statement is no longer determined and seems to be cast into a 'neutral' or undetermined re...
October 25, 2019 at 15:22
Kantian epistemological philosophy is predicated exclusively on reason and logic, of which “all events must have a cause” is the foremost rendering of...

For any or all Trumper's, just a quick question. I haven't researched the so-called analogous conditions, but now that we are in the mode of investiga...

You don't have to believe God is omni-x3 to be a Christian This Bud's for you Frank, cheers!
October 25, 2019 at 13:54
Now that the 'precedent' is set, relative to investigating the (Russia) investigator's, I don't think it will bode well for the Trumper's. For example...
October 25, 2019 at 13:09
Okay great! Who said God is OmniX3 then? Start from your premise there and the soundness of your argument. I will argue it has little import because t...

I'm totally fine with anything that uncovers truth! As far as I'm concerned it wouldn't bother me if that's all that both Democrats and Republicans do...
October 25, 2019 at 02:24
Trust me bartricks I really want to provide some helpful input. That's one reason why I wanted to contribute to your thread so that I can help out and...
October 25, 2019 at 01:18
That's a great question Frank. For all we know God doesn't have a consciousness like human consciousness. In a so-called metaphysical world, it's enti...
October 25, 2019 at 01:00
Again, you're dichotomizing. Please pause momentarily, and reflect, accordingly. This is not providing any import to the aforementioned reconciliation...
October 25, 2019 at 00:43
I can't stress enough the importance of dropping all of this Omni nonsense. Why would you, or anyone, assume they know the mind of God? Otherwise I th...

True that! And going back to the big picture, someone said past performance is a good indicator of future performance. Whether it's his past business ...

October 24, 2019 at 19:17
And I wanted to briefly share my response to that statement you made above. Quite simply, I don't dichotomize and throw the baby out with the bathwate...
October 24, 2019 at 19:09

Ad hominem : in a way that is directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.

October 18, 2019 at 19:34
Actually just the opposite. Many of you just use ad hominem arguments when you find yourselves in a position of defending nothingness. There are numer...

Maybe if he was still alive I'd invite you to one of his seminars, then we could all have a good laugh together. Heck, we might even have a group hug!

If that makes you feel better! LOL
October 18, 2019 at 16:34
I don't know what to tell you Artemis. Your non-answers/ad hominem arguments speak for themselves. That's why I use the word politics... . B well.
October 18, 2019 at 16:31
Hey, thanks for the political statements!
October 18, 2019 at 16:12
But I did learn it. You read into something that wasn't there. I'm classically trained.
