You haven't got an argument. You haven't read much of what I've said. This isn't my first rodeo here, you know. :wink: Okay, I haven't seen an argument, and I doubt that you could come up with an even slightly persuasive one. Well, as soon as we dispatch with Subjectivism, maybe we'll talk about th...

Clearly, cause and effect, as we understand it, does not apply to the origins of the universe. You say that's "clear." I know of nobody but you who thinks that. So I think I'm justified in asking you what you think makes that "clear" to you. But the sequence of cause and effect ...

You have said absolutely nothing to change my view, and you have said absolutely nothing to support your own. The first statement is true, plausibly; the second, verifiably not. There is page after page here of me arguing, with reasons, for objective morality. You haven't got an argument. You haven...

We don't have any pre-BB observations so we don't know which mathematical equations are applicable before the BB. We don't need any. You're trying to make a demand for us to introduce a necessity for empirical information into an argument that proves conclusively that the very theory of an actual i...

In your P1 you assume [without proofs nor justifications] there must be starting cause, Hmmm...you're not a very good reader, are you? :? It does not say "there must be a starting cause," or anything like that, though indeed the conclusion shows that there would have to be. But that's onl...

The basic is very simple: Premise 1: an actual infinite regress of causes cannot exist, because in an infinite regress, the causal chain never starts, but rather "recedes" into a supposed infinite past. (Mathematical and deductive) Premise 2: the universe is a product of a chain of causes...

So abortion is murder, but abortion for good reasons-- like a godly married couple getting rid of unwanted embryos-- is godly and good. If IVF involves the implanting of offspring fertilized by a husband into a wife, it would be hard to find a grounds for objection. But if you know one, I'll hear i...

Whatever has an even number of letters will be considered to be moral. Whatever has an odd number of letters will be considered to be immoral. Numbers will be considered amoral. :D Seriously? C'mon...give us a real answer. This is a serious question. After all, if a theory of morality cannot even s...

If those articles are the sum of your resources, then I have to point out that you seem to have absorbed some rather wrong ideas about what he argues. But that may be the fault of the articles, not so much of you. Which goes to show that things are interpreted differently according to one's tacit k...

Is it dead yet?

If not, why not? I've shown that logically, it makes no sense at all, even on its own terms. Why is it still kicking?

I think you mean "anthropology." It's good it's "serious," though, or I'd have thought it was lame.

No, it isn't what I think morality is; it is what morality is to me, and to a good many others here, it seems. Then you "incorporate" an idea that isn't even possibly true. It's incoherent -- The words, "true" and "coherent", are not applicable. They're applicable to e...

You might... :D Yeah, I thought so. You've got nothing. You are, as usual, just making an arse of yourself. https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/g28565280/matriarchal-societies-list/ You poor soul...that's a puff piece. Having a woman in a leadership role doesn't make a society "...

Great that you think so, so confidently. Prove it.

You might...

Yeah, I thought so. You've got nothing.
