I still do not follow you. There's what's true, and there's what's false. I am assuming that you think the bible is the word of God and thus that its ...

I am not sure I follow. To be irrational is not to follow Reason. However, one is not failing to follow Reason if one reasons that as God can do anyth...

That's premise two (and it is not that awareness is the only possible state of affairs; it's that we are never justified in believing we are wholesale...

What was my argument in support of premise 1?

Like I say, you don't know what my argument is. Read the op and try and understand what my argument for premise 1 is. Then address it.

Because you haven't said anything to address the argument I gave in support of it. I mean, what do you think my argument is?

I defended premise 1. In the OP. Premise 1 doesn't 'look like' an 'if...then' statement. It is one. Not looks like. Is. The 'conclusion' of the syllog...

I haven't disproved science. What are you on about? You've just plonked an arbitrary video about evolution addressing a straw man argument that I have...

No it isn't. That's the point. See the OP for details.

What the hell are you on about? If X then Y. That's called a conditional. It doesn't assert X or Y. It just says 'if' X, then Y. So, if I deny "If X t...

And you don't think clearly either. "X presupposes Y" is false. X and Y may be the case. But X does not presuppose Y. Look, you don't even know how to...

What the blue blazes are you on about? If you say X 'presupposes' Y and I say it doesn't, that doesn't mean I am saying Y is not the case, does it?

Where's the contradiction? It's just waffle. Identify two statements by me that contradict each other. Presumably you think you've already done that. ...

So you agree that he doesn't know there is a pie in the oven (for in a Gettier case the agent doesn't know a true proposition despite the belief in it...

Where do I contradict myself? I am not doing your working out for you - identify the contradiction.

What's questionable? Do you think he does know the pie is in the oven?

You are confusing the simplicity of a thing with the complexity of its states. Thoughts are states of mind. They can be as complex as you like. That w...

I do not really follow your point. What you say is quite right - God, being omnipotent, can do anything and so to any question "can God do..." the ans...

So, you asked me how one can have a faculty without having any awareness, yes? I then answered that stupid and irrelevant question (irrelevant because...

Point? Do you have one?

No, it is just true. And i haven't admitted anything about my first premise - again, what are you on about? My first premise is true, and I provided a...

You can have a faculty of introspection without being aware of anything, just as you can have a faculty of sight without seeing anything (I explained ...

Okaaaay. There's an old guy in my local who says - well, slurs - things like that. He looks like the Shy Peasant by Ilya Repin. That's how I imagine y...

Well, that's a bit out of leftfield. And it's wrong.

what inconsistency?

I have literally no idea what you are on about. Are you trying to question premise 2 now?

Get in the ring and get your smacking. Come along.

So he can do anything. But not some things? Being irrational is a thing. You are being irrational. You think God can do anything, but not do the irrat...

So, Gwegowy, you think God - or 'God' - can't do a whole bunch of stuff. Would someone who can do everything 'God' can do and all the things he can't ...

How so? Look, I can't punch a cloud. Say something substantial so that I can knock its lights out.

And your objection is....

So, myself, Descartes and Jesus all think that God can so anything. And that, according to you, makes us nuts and not very good at philosophy. You thi...

No, it'd be guided. You have just said that Peahens are agents. So some of their behaviour is now guided. By themselves. Yes? It expresses their sexua...

No it doesn't. Look, I don't think you have a clear objection. Why don't you read what I said in defence of 1? Awareness requires being in a mental st...

Yes. What is your objection to premise 1?

Yes. What is your objection?

I have told you what I mean by unguided. I want to know what your objection is to the argument I made in support of my premise.

I don't know what you are talking about.

It is what it is. I don't exactly know what 'secular' evolution is. But if it expresses the idea that evolutionary forces do not express the will of a...

Just to be clear - because I didn't have a clue what any of that meant - you think God can do anything, but he can't do some things. Again: you think ...

I say in the OP. Unguided by any agency. So, not expressive of an agent's intentions.

Do you think a being who can do anything can't do some things?

And what does that mean when it's at home?

I think most contemporary theist philosophers would indeed think my understanding of omnipotence is crazy. But they're boring hacks. And there is at l...

What is the error, Banno? That I didn't mention actions does not mean that I do not think normative reasons apply to them. You think it does, right? T...

No it isn't. How is it doubted? There is no non-question begging way for a scientist to arrive at the conclusion that the world is older than the bibl...

I said it above, liar. They apply to actions and beliefs. There's what you should do, and there's what you should believe. These are normative questio...

Er, those confirm what I said. Normative reasons apply to actions and beliefs. You said they apply to actions alone and that I was confused. I am not....

The person of God can do anything, including becoming evil. But so long as the person of God remains God - which is, of course, entirely up to her - s...

God can do anything, right? So everything in the bible - even the contradictions, if contradictions there be - is self-consistent. For God can do anyt...
