• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

You mean, using the methods, plural. (Or am I making too much of a 'truth claim' in saying plural rather than affirming the singular?)

Do you have a truth claim you'd like to justify in this matter, one way or another?

Moreover, if you're the only one on this planet with your own personal definitions of "operative" and "method," then I guess you're not asserting a truth claim.

Nope .. I'm about staying consistent with the benefit of the evidence of the published and widely taught scientific method and the purpose for which it was devised .. (but you already knew that).

And they you can use your method to determine the truth value of their respective facades, one by one, right?

No .. just the overwhemling well-tested evidence that it works, practically .. that's all that's behind it ..

It's too late for me on that count. Of course, you already knew that.

If you "don't care," then I guess there's no need for me to spend much time addressing anything you have to say. OR is there?

Ever examined a truth table in say, in science's field of digitial logic? There's often 'don't care' conditions appearing in them.
Aka: its not my logic!

And I'm staying consistent with my sources. You can have yours, and I can have mine.

Pragmatism (and so-called practicality) has its limits, as do all human positions in the sciences.

That's what I'm told. And not just by scientists. But by philosophers, and by theologians.

No, I can't say I've studied digital logic specifically, just standard Logic textbooks. I suppose you mean to suggest I need to engage something like--even if not exactly---the following info:

Digital Logic

Introduction to Digital Logic, truth tables, logic gates, Boolean algebra, Karnaugh maps
