Saying it is one thing. Showing it is another. I have demonstrated my point with adequate examples. You've done nothing but offer assertions. So you say, but have yet to demonstrate. Patently false claim. AS I HAVE ALREADY EXPLAINED, A1 is not possible if God knows infallibly that you will...

What part of "[/COLOR]There is no choice if God already knows the future" was not clear to you? You question is nonsense because there is no choice in a universe where infallible foreknowledge exists. Wrong. I've already explained why this is wrong. Go back and re-read my argument, because it...

Ah, but it does follow, and you're begging the question. There is no choice if God already knows the future. All choices are merely illusions, lest it be possible for God's knowledge to be wrong, in which case it isn't knowledge at all. If God knows that A, B and C will happen as a consequence...

But when you believe that God simultaneously knew what the future would be as a consequence of his deciding to create precisely this universe, it follows that he willingly and deliberately caused that future. For simplicity and illustration, consider that God could make a decision like this...

*Sarcasm meter asplodes* ^_^

Such a sophomoric perception of the inherent discrimination in gay marriage prohibitions could only issue from the mind of an evangelical. :sigh: The facts are these: 1.) Marriage is regulated under the law as a contract. 2.) A restiction on gay marriage effectually restricts an entire gender...

I think the very idea of a state of nothingness existing is incoherent. "Nothing" is a complete lack of existence. It doesn't make sense to say that a complete lack of existence... existed. Furthermore, it is usually presupposed that God existed, and unless I'm very mistaken about usual...

Perhaps I should've been more specific. In this instance the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment covers it.

This is a red herring. In adminstrating private contracts, the government cannot so discriminate.

And I was replying to you as a non-Christian to a Christian, so what? That doesn't make anything that I've said false. Also, this is the section that is open to non-Christians, so you should expect to be challeneged when you post ridiculous ideas. And that affects the truth of my statements...

I suspect that despite your claim your naivite is unintentional. Good job at spectactularly missing the point. NO CONTRACT can stipulate that prerequisite for the very reasons I've given. It has become apparent that a rational discussion with you is going to be impossible. You are prohibited...

So simple-minded and typical. Please, read, learn: From the perspective of our government, marriage is a contract between two people to be regulated by our country's legal system. In order to get the tax breaks and other benefits, John and Sally must sign a marriage contract. Are you with me...

It also condemns cutting one's hair and shaving and wearing of mixed-linen clothing. So what? There's a reason why the Bible is not the legal standard in our country. Zygotes, embryos and fetuses are not children. Children are born. All fluff, no susbstance.

Wanna bet which definition (his or yours) most closely resembles the language appearing in murder statutes? It should be obvious that yours is inadequate since it would define the discarding of excised cancerous tumors also as "murder." *sigh* It is a misrepresentation to describe pro-choice...

You're not talking about life, you're talking about consciousness, and more specifically, you're talking about human consciousness. Then, of course, you must contend with solipsistic difficulties. Can you demonstrate rigorously that a putative individual is actually aware of himself?

This is false. In fact, it would be decidely non-random if you stipulated a constraint that no numbers in a sequence could repeat themselves, for example. :æ:

An apple is an idea. It is a loosely defined set of particular characteristics that exists as a concept in our minds. With that idea established, we can then find objects in reality that we feel exhibit those characteristics closely enough to affix to each of them the label "apple." In...

Contraindicated by some (relatively) recent observations

Our very best observations indicate that space-time is continuous. Resolution of Zeno's Paradox for the win! I don't have the time for a proper response to 52 cards latest reply. Hopefully I can get to it this evening.

1.) Numbers do not exist in reality. It is equally true and equally insignificant to note that the numbers 2 and 5 an 1115.314 do not exist in reality. 2.) An infinite number of things can be shown to exist in reality, however. Any real time interval features an infinite number of moments...
