Maybe I didn't word myself clearly. If John tells me that "good" refers to what God condones and "evil" refers to what God condemns, can I tell him th...
How about I consider the inverse of this? 1. Start at 50%/50% for the unknown boolean question ‘is the universe a creation?’ 2. Time has a start. 50% ...
These are interesting attempts at a reductio ad absurdum. Let's say that one argues that to be right is to be approved of by the majority. You might a...
I agree with the sentiment but I think that particular example of a "disproof" is lacking. Can I really dismiss divine command theory by noting that t...
So clearly you don't understand mathematics. Let me set the record straight; mathematicians can do calculations with any kind of \frac{a}{b} where a a...
It was a clip from a TV show so is considered low-quality. Generally we don't accept videos or images unless they have more substance than that, e.g. ...
This supposed "pyramid" might exist "outside time" as well. There may be a first cause that is responsible for a second cause (which is also outside t...
You're saying that but you haven't argued it. You're just asserting the unrelated claims "those in power enforce their moral opinion on others" and "t...
Look at your argument again: 1. Everything in time has a reason 2. Nothing can be the reason for itself 3. (From 1 and 2) At least one reason must be ...
But you're not. All you seem to be saying is that those in power have the might to enforce their moral opinions on others. Yet somehow you conclude fr...
These are problematic premises that need further support (re. 4. the problematic part is "nothing caused it or comes logically before it"). Why? You d...
Furthermore, this allows for multiple reasons that are outside of time. What if they're all jointly responsible for the creation of the physical world...
That wasn't your argument. Your argument was: 1. Everything in time has a reason 2. Nothing can be the reason for itself 3. (From 1 and 2) At least on...
FYI, I've deleted some posts that were just insults and any posts that replied to them (as they won't make sense anymore). Please refresh the page so ...
Why would an unintelligent first cause unintentionally creating time and space count as "something from nothing" but an intelligent first cause intent...
By "like" I meant "similar to". It might be that the first cause is just some impersonal "event" that without any intention or intelligence or will ha...
Even accepting this, how do you get from "there is a first cause outside time" to "God exists"? You're missing a premise, and also a definition of "Go...
What exactly do you mean by a "scientific definition"? It's certainly a word that scientists use in the course of their profession, so on that account...
You argued this: P1. The strength or success of a moral position is determined by the power behind it C. Therefore, there are no objective moral facts...
I'd rather have a small blonde Portuguese skier who when she's not training does abstract painting, practises yoga, brews her own beer, really likes m...
It still doesn't follow. You need to show that if there are objective moral facts then the success of a moral position isn't determined by the power b...
I know that's what you're saying, but your argument doesn't show this. Your conclusion that morality isn't objective doesn't follow from your claim th...
That doesn't follow. A Christian theocracy may enforce the view that the Earth is the centre of the universe and ~6,000 years old but the facts are ot...
Your conclusion doesn't follow from your premises. All you're saying that the morality that most people believe in is the morality that most people be...
They start by defining the following set: N = {0, 1, 2, 3, ...} Then they define the set "Z" as the set that contains the elements in set "N" and also...
Also I think you're putting the cart before the horse. We don't start with some definition of "number" and then see which things satisfy that definiti...
But \frac{1}{9} is commensurable. It's the fraction of two integers. Also it seems to me that what you call "numbers" mathematicians call "natural num...
How you choose to define "number" has no bearing on whether or not 0.999... = 1. Mathematical equations do not depend on what English (or French, or S...

Which premise is false? And don't you think that the professional mathematicians know more about maths than you do? I don't know what your area of exp...
Barr continuing his corrupt practice of protecting Trump and Trump allies. At least this guy is fighting back. Apparently there's a criminal investiga...
Trump called journalists 'scumbags' who should be 'executed,' according to John Bolton's new book Trump asked China’s Xi to help him win reelection, a...
And I questioned your statement by asking why it's absurd to assert something true without evidence but not absurd to assert something false without e...
So when I lie I commit to believing my lie? So it's not absurd to assert something false without evidence but it is absurd to assert something true wi...
You're the one who said "It would be absurd for you to make that assertion if you didn't believe I had pancakes for breakfast. There would be absolute...
Why do I need a reason to say something? The meaning and truth of a sentence does not depend on my motivation for saying it. "You had pancakes for bre...
