Re: "In the beginning God created ...."
Truth is validity rather than soundness. What you are describing is called a tautology If that is what you call a tautology, then you do not understand how everyone else on the planet uses that term. , not truth. True in every possible interpretation. That would require a tautology: you would have ...

Re: "In the beginning God created ...."
But true. All truth is interpretation so, who cares? In 2021 believing in truth is a quite like believing in God. Truth is validity rather than soundness. We are presented with a range of propositions, such as 'God exists' or 'killing your enemies is wrong', which are entirely subjective opinions. ...

Re: "In the beginning God created ...."
Funnily enough, that's exactly what I said... That phenomenon is called "projection." Indeed. So now that you recognise it, perhaps you will stop doing it. It asks me to accept that I had said that all such arguments "fail." But they don't. Which ones prove that God exists? Go and view the list, an...

Re: "In the beginning God created ...."
. I'm afraid I cannot bring myself to telegraph comedy with smilies as you do. It is very bad manners where I'm from, because it implies that you are not clever enough to recognise a joke. It's not bad manners online, you'll find. I'm sure you've noticed that the online world is not some flat and h...

Re: "In the beginning God created ...."
Just as the Kalam and the Ontological are very different arguments, so to are the Design Argument, the Moral Argument, the Mathematical Argument, the Historical Argument and the arguments from prophecy or miracles, and so on...these are all very different arguments, with very different masses of ev...

Re: "In the beginning God created ...."
We can make it as broad as necessary to include any other logical arguments that aim to demonstrate the existence of God, because they all fail for the same reason. Well, no. Just as the Kalam and the Ontological are very different arguments, so to are the Design Argument, the Moral Argument, the M...

Re: What are the Benefits of Theism?
The two of us walk into the same room, and you notice the plants and I notice an object...who knows why? It doesn't seem to be a conscious process. I agree. I don't know why either, but it seems to me those sorts of responses are closer to what we call aesthetic judgements than anything else. But t...

I know. That is the Socratic method.
You're a bit late. It's basic philosophical training.
