  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

    fallacy analysis needed "faulty" Big bang article

    Could you elaborate on why that is? Also would you be willing to share your opinion on her work compaired to real philosophy? To me it seems that Ayn Rand is not a philosopher at all, since her objectivism is just her set of thoughts on reality. So i think its save to say its her opinion. I am...

    If it is so simple pleas tell me why you misrepresented it? Talking about "catching my drift" is arbitrary.

    fallacy analysis needed "faulty" Big bang article

    I agree with you that in kalams argument that there is nothing in it that proves there is a God. I must say that i dont know who Kalam is i just know the argument, i know that christians sometimes alter the argument. But Kalams argument is valid as far as i know. I have seen some objections...

    Sorry my edit button is not working, probably cause i used it to much:blush:. Any ways i wanted to add that i find it ironic you see Ayn Rands philosophy as proof of your whole thinking.Her whole thinking is by no means proven. If your whole belief in atheism is based on this i dont see how you...

    fallacy analysis needed "faulty" Big bang article

    Your not explaining how your statements on consciousness are not arbitrary. The ones i pointed out.YOu made a statement that every argument for god makes the self reference fallacy.Then you base this on arbitrary statements.The burden of proof is on you.SO i am still waiting for this. And i...

    This is not a topic about your questions, i outlined everything in my first post.With all respect start your own topic about questions you have on reality.

    No i dont catch your drift. Learn Kalams cosmological argument correctly before you start commenting on it.

    Sorry i dont want to keep editting my post.( one more comment) on your special pleading why is talking about an uncaused cause special pleading? the other option would be an infinite regress of things.Which in my eyes is ridiculous.

    fallacy analysis needed "faulty" Big bang article

    Thank you for your post, its kind off a breath of fresh air in this partially failed topic. You seem honest and i would like to ask you some things about your post. Ill be honest in that i dont believe the big bang to be true, and i do believe that God is an uncaused being. Its not a empty...

    fallacy analysis needed "faulty" Big bang article

    Well i wont because im not that interested in this whole discussion anyways. i was not the one who started this discussion. You where commenting on something specific i said in a string of arguments with Scotsman. I meant by making your case that its not fair for you to bud in at a random time...

    fallacy analysis needed "faulty" Big bang article

    I didn’t say anything about winning, and the discussion is not on consciousness itself. My point is that consciousness is metaphysical and thus not phisical, And thus cant be proven or disproven. Its arbitrary. Scotsman clearly defined what consciousness is in his first argument and thus...
