Like I say, you're just very conventional. I deny necessity. One way to express that is to say that one thinks all truths are contingent. But I don't ...
When it comes to metaphysical possibilities, it seems to me that the issue is whether we think Reason determines what is or isn't possible, or our ima...
That's a quite different argument - there you are arguing that the law of non-contradiction is a necessary truth, rather than a contingent one. But yo...
Question begging. You have to show me to be committed to a contradiction WITHOUT assuming necessity. You are a bad and conventional thinker. That's yo...
Yes, of course he could do that. He can do anything. For instance, he could make it the case that you make good points. That isn't good evidence he's ...
You haven't explained it once - not once. This - Bartricks claims the law of non-contradiction is contingently true....#$^^** Kazam!! He's contradicte...
Really?? Pure wishful thinking on your part. You seem to think that if I think it is possible for the law of non-contradiction to be false, then I thi...
you are just expressing convictions, not telling me the means by which you know things. What you say is false, incidentally. But I want to know how yo...
Why not? You think it is only if the past is necessary that we can know about it? Why on earth would you think that? That's as silly as thinking that ...
Ah, the fine and delicate logic of a whisk brain. God can change the past. That doesn't mean he does or has. 'Can' doesn't mean 'has' or 'is doing'. B...
How do you know that? You don't know, I suspect. That is, you don't know how you know it. Doesn't matter. I think it is true too. So, this mysterious ...
LIke I say, you don't understand anyone. No, I do not 'reject history' (whatever that means). No it doesn't. As I have said before, show your working....
Yes, to say that something is 'possibly true' is normally to express tentativeness. And that's fine. That's how I generally use it. Similarly, if some...
Why would it be 50/50? I have a coffee every morning. I don't have to. I just do. But the chance that I will have one tomorrow is not 50/50, but about...
She's not 'my' God, she's God. And she's not a god of contradictions, for it is due to her that there are not any. I don't understand the question. Yo...
Because he does not seem to have done so. It appears to everyone that if a proposition is true, it is not also false. Be assured, I test it every day....
What the hell are you on about? You never make any sense. Stop attributing bonkers views to me! Stop just asserting things without showing any working...
I don't know what you mean. If there appeared to be propositions that are true and false at the same time, that'd be prima facie evidence that the law...
I don't know what you mean. I think propositions are true or false. I don't think adding 'possibly' adds anything, apart from when it is being used to...
I don't know what you mean. I don't think the law of non-contradiction is false. I think it is true. This is getting a bit mind bending. I think it is...
How? How do you know it? Look, I am not going to get into a tedious 'how do we know anything' debate. If you think the law of non-contradiction is tru...
I'm not. He can come in at any point and clarify, but he'll just squiggle and squoggle and hope that others will accept that he's doing what he isn't....
Yes, I know. It's the same. But it doesn't get us anywhere. It's like giving me the Dutch for necessary. I want to know what the truth-maker is of the...
Yes, I know - he, not I, is 'arguing' that I am contradicting myself. So, he - not I - is 'arguing' that as I think the law of non-contradiction is co...
I don't know what that means. If a proposition is true, it is true in virtue of corresponding to some state of affairs. Now, what is the truth maker f...
What? No, he thinks that if it is 'possible' for the law of non-contradiction to be false, then it 'is' false. I think that's absurd - that there is n...
I haven't changed the terminology. You are changing the topic from metaphysics to epistemology. Now, you tell me how you know the law of non-contradic...
He thinks that if it is possible for the law of non contradiction to be false, then it is actually false. Which is as absurd as thinking that if it is...
How do you know it is necessarily true? Do you see, touch, smell, taste or hear its necessity? Tell me how you are aware of its status as a necessary ...
Yes, off you run. When you have an actual argument that shows my claim that the law of non contradiction is contingently true, do say. In the meantime...
I do not understand your question. I don't even think the word 'contingent' does any real work, if that helps. I think there are true propositions and...
Er, no, I have not rejected logic. Christ, you are woefully bad at logic. I don't know what the symbols mean, yet you don't know what follows from wha...
No, you said the debate is over whether there is any possible world in which God does not exist "theists say no, atheist yes". And I am not sure that ...
Yes, Banno's argument is circular. Saying that there is a possible world in which God does not exist is to assert that God's existence is not necessar...
I don't know what you are saying. It doesn't engage with the OP. I hear 'skydaddy' all the bloody time. It's not original. It's tedious. If only there...
No, I am demanding an argument that doesn't presuppose the reality of necessity. I think the law of non contradiction is actually true. True, not fals...
Arrived at knowledge of God via reasoned argument alone. Born and raised an atheist. Atheist until mid thirties. Then I became a cautious theist after...
you are now begging the question by confusing knowing everything with knowing all true propositions. I have argued that these are not the same and so ...
no, you don't need the squiggles, as I am demonstrating. If you can't say in words what the squiggles stand for, it's because you don't know what you ...
No. Once again, if something is 'contingently' true then there is a possible world in which it is false. It does not follow that it is false in all po...
haha, pathetic. Like I say, you haven't got an argument. The law of non-contradiction is true. It is contingently true. That doesn't mean 'false'. It ...
