Which would be supernatural and more akin to poetry if we were to accept what Eric says. :s

Well in my previous posts I had argued why I don't accept your usage of natural and supernatural and because of that I cannot agree with you that 1: T...

Why am I being ignored here lol

I dont think the conclusion that it breaks the law of non contradiction follows at all. Me and 180 have been hinting at this for a while now.

I don't think this is a correct statement. But you can probably change my mind. See my reply to frank above. It's also aimed at you.

When you talk about belief in the imaginary do you solely speak to theism or does every belief a person has have hidden psychological motivations? I c...

Thank you for teaching me new words and things. :joke: Added: I had suggested the usage of reality here. It probably should have just been something t...

Yes Frank. I was in part also replying to Eric who is trying to argue for a contradiction between God and exist. Sorry. I agree with the main gist of ...

I think the usage of supernatural here is doing us a disservice. It seems more as if you guys are actually talking about reality as a whole. i.e if so...

You might not have specifically called him names but you certainly were extremely obnoxious and rude. Even a total noob like me can see that MU dealt ...

Always nice to learn more. Thanks. I guess I got too caught up on the mass part!

I have a gut feeling that may know a thing or two about this. Edit: Didnt know how to ping so I did a quote :sweat:

Im having some trouble with the words here. I agreed with frank that everything that exists is part of existence. And I thought this would be the same...

I don't think that works if we keep in mind that there is energy or light. Some substances have no mass at all. Should you then call them matter? and ...

I want this!

No I meant those hypotheses. Multiverse and string theory all that. I guess it's fun to imagine if our dreams are what you say they are. But I wouldn'...

I think you're going too deep into these hypotheses.

Ah, sorry Frank I didnt notice this. Well I agree with your qualms with supernatural for the same reasons but I still dont see why, if we use that def...

Sorry if im using all the wrong words to describe something. Very noob! But to me if God is omnipotent then he must be maximally great. Creating anoth...

Yes thats what I meant. So the question "who will win?" Or "Can he make a rock he cannot lift?" Lead to logical impossibilities and should be disregar...

Do I get you if I say that the question itself is nonsensical? Because thats what I meant too but I failed to communicate correctly.

Im not a theist. Im not an atheist either. I just dont know. But I never even once agreed with the notion that having a belief in God, faith, is entir...

thanks to you both

Where could I read up on the older and new notions of causation?

You seem to be very elitist when its about who is a serious thinker or not :brow:

You said I was not being serious. I take that (Pun intended) very seriously.

You are quick to make decisions I suppose. I am honest as can be when I say that I am as serious as possible. And I have told you that I do not hold s...

Right I agree it would be necessary if it really were the case. The problem is I don't think we can make the generalization that religious belief and ...

I would be forced to accept this yes. A person cannot choose his beliefs, right? I'm pretty sure anyone would have issues accepting this at first and ...

Well if you would want to tell my what the criteria are. Because I really do want to learn if I'm mistaken. As Enpassant said. These theories could be...

What are it's criteria? How do you know? I stated in my second to last sentence that I agreed that it could make a difference in some theists. So I di...

I'm a noob with all this so I have a very hard time understanding the expensive words. But I don't see it. Again, I'm arguing from personal experience...

This is something that I hear a lot. Yet out of personal experience I know a good amount of theists who are well aware of the limits in their knowledg...

Noob here. Doesn't the logical impossibility speak for itself here? A logically impossible thing can by definition not be done. Right? So it's contrad...

And I suppose then that this is why Plantinga and swinburne argue for other kinds of necessity than logical? Causal and factual?

Are you saying that a thing cannot be factually necessary because you can conceive of it not existing? Sorry I had a hard time following the text.

Then I misunderstand. My bad.

Because they enter a breaking point? Apart from God, Don't all theories of mind fall apart if even causality doesn't apply anymore? Or am I misunderst...

Hi Banno! I can barely understand all of this. Is this one of the biggest changes from those earlier mechanics to classical mechanics we spoke about? ...

Thanks Banno.

What books do I buy to learn more about the refutations of these mechanics and the mechanics themselves?

Yes this is a big one. I've heard a few things. Might conclude that the arguments are whack..Which is what most people do. Also seen people say that m...

Yes you led me here from there! Albeit unintentionally. ;p I always do keep an eye out there. I just want to expand my horizons and learn more. From a...

I'm going to bookmark that for a watch later. And they aren't all that successful I suppose? :razz:

Thanks! I feel like I need a big book on logic and arguments before I can truly grasp the weight of this. At the moment it feels like the theist can p...

Hi Banno Is Aristotelian mechanics Aristotelian and Thomistic metaphysics? I heard that a whole lot of the argumentation about the 5 ways for example ...

I'll have to read many of these relevant books before I get an opinion on the matter. Perhaps I won't see it the same way you do. But then whats the p...

I can see this. Thanks.

Thanks Kenosha. I'm reading up on all of it because I personally want to be able to distinguish stuff more so I might..One day..Get back to this.

As I always do I'll just put it out there that I know next to nothing. But this strikes me as absurd. What do you mean "purportedly"? I would personal...
