Already did. I said it's whatever YOU mean by "proof."
Show what you've got, Ace, or pack it in.

I mean, "Show me what you think you've got." That's unrestricted, and doesn't depend on what I think your 'proof' should be. It only depends on what you think it actually IS.Skepdick wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 3:21 pmTell me what you expect from me when you are commanding me to "Prove it".Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 3:17 pm Already did.

Well, If it only depends on me then I don't think proof is anything more than what I have already shown you.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 3:25 pm I mean, "Show me what you think you've got."

You did, actually. You said "better," which implies you have criteria. So give me your criteria...Skepdick wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 3:21 pmI don't mean anything by it.

You don't have such a criterion? How then have you determined that God is better than Satan?Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 4:41 pm You did, actually. You said "better," which implies you have criteria. So give me your criteria...
Never mind. I know you had nothing, and were wrong in the first place. I don't need you to acknowledge it, and I know you won't.
Thank you for sparing us any further idiocy.
No: apparently, you don't. Apparently, you think "better" means no more than "I like it." I wasn't expecting much, and I got less than I thought I would out of you.Skepdick wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 4:48 pmYou don't have such a criterion?Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 4:41 pm You did, actually.

I gladly accept your offer to prove that your better is better than my better.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 5:21 pm No: apparently, you don't. Apparently, you think "better" means no more than "I like it."
I made no such offer, and am wasting no more time on you.Skepdick wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 5:42 pmI gladly accept your offer to prove that your better is better than my better.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 5:21 pm No: apparently, you don't.

Yeah, although I respect British standards, I am going to have to side with Skeppy on this, even though from what I have read he has not addressed WHY, his point is important.Skepdick wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 10:57 amI don't know why you get the feelings that you get.

What I am waiting for is an answer to my question: Is the entry on democracy in Wikipedia qualitatively better than the entry on democracy in the Oxford dictionary?
So you don't think God is better than Satan then?Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 7:24 pm I made no such offer, and am wasting no more time on you.
The question makes no sense. 'Better' in what way? The word is meaningless on its own. Is the sun better than the moon? Is green better than blue?Skepdick wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 11:34 pmSo you don't think God is better than Satan then?Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 7:24 pm I made no such offer, and am wasting no more time on you.

Which is why I am not using it on its own. There's context.
It depends.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Sun Jul 18, 2021 2:37 am Is the sun better than the moon? Is green better than blue?
