In logic, it's called material implication, in science it's called a cause for every effect. If you subscribe to the PoSR, then God only makes sense i...

Read the rest of the post. I instantiate that everything in this world has a cause and effect, per the PoSR. Therefore, if you assume that something c...

See the response immediately prior to yours... Glad your still around.

This is where language goes on holiday. I believe that with dispensing the Principle of Sufficient Reason, that science and logic so heavily rely on, ...

Well, I'm not addressing the, identification of the Westernized Abrahamic God in terms of his historical or descriptive attributes. I'm more leaning t...
October 30, 2021 at 00:46
I think the only response to this would be question begging for the existence of God in any discussion. One first has to assume what does it mean to s...
October 30, 2021 at 00:39
I mention that it can seem just as plausible to believe in Gods existence as the lack of his existence and no amount of empirical evidence would suppo...
October 30, 2021 at 00:37
An assumed proposition is similar to question begging in asking for no doubt to be utilized in face of a supposition like argument about X to be held ...
October 30, 2021 at 00:36
I believe that at the very first of the issue is the Principle of Sufficient Reason. To assume something exists means there must have been a cause for...
October 30, 2021 at 00:33
I'm just saying that it qualifies as a assumed proposition to assume God's existence, no?
October 30, 2021 at 00:22
It seems common sensicle to believe in God; but, when one is confronted with questioning his existence the issue isn't hard to make it likewise common...

Again, as per the OP, I believe the importance is the ex nihilo argument that something came from nothing. Yes?
October 30, 2021 at 00:12
Well, once you shout out that there's an elephant in the room, one can argue, perhaps persuasively, that it is there. But, this doesn't address the ps...
October 30, 2021 at 00:11
I agree with your analysis and seem to be stuck on the referent that X exists. X being, as you said, a Turtle, Goddess, or in a farfetched dream of a ...

I understand that. But, just as Wittgenstein told Russell that there might be a rhinoceros in the room, and you couldn't disprove it, so too is the Go...
October 29, 2021 at 23:39
Well, this is what I was attempting address in regards to ex nihilo arguments, when they are raised by inquiry. This is what Stephen Hawking wrote abo...
October 29, 2021 at 23:35
Yes, isn't this an asserted proposition then to assume that God exists when presented with science or logical arguments?
October 29, 2021 at 23:26
It's an asserted proposition to say that God exists, no? So, what's the reason for believing so despite science and logic?
October 29, 2021 at 23:24
It's not convincing if you assume the supposition that God exists. Following from this everything I say is moot. So, what's the justification for this...

In case anyone is confused about what got reduced or eliminated from the original BBBA act, Investopedia has a good list of what's in and what's out. ...

I recall that some of the infrastructure spending was lumped into existing programs. Anyone care to comment about this?

I don't believe people have a natural capacity to critical thinking; but, reason or rather rationalize they can.

Now what? Pretentions about Stoicism? I studied Stoicism and know what it means. I also read The Meditations and The Enchiridion. CBT was studied. I t...

I'm not matching expectations? I'm pretty sure I know what Stoicism is; but, I don't perform it well in manner, yes?
October 28, 2021 at 19:31
So, do away with the Stoicism? Just disregard it? It's an edifying philosophy to say the least. What should I do?

I hope LENR finally becomes a reality. I also know fusion is making progress on becoming a reality.

Who would know these things? All I know is that the pig was quite ballsy. https://c.tenor.com/_wFbaYJVDd8AAAAM/longest-drive.gif

Who knows these things. The pig you interviewed for a position on your farm was devastated at being declined. Although, no joking, it would have grown...

Probably not. A fish is hard to develop any emotions towards. Maybe someone might think different... Would you agree that behavioral changes in food e...

Yeah, once I can make the behavioral changes economically (basically you need more money to become a vegetarian), I think I'll stick to fish and chips...
