Well thats a shame you feel it neccessary to make a joke out of @xianghua. To be honest with you i am not familiar with your arguement. What is your beef with this self replicating car? What is your arguement?
I'm not making the argument, he is.
Tell ya what, go familiarize yourself with his posts and arguments then come back and tell me if you think they make sense. Deal?
Lets negotiate this deal, what is your argument so im familiar with your position?
If you have something to say, just say it.
Again, I'm not making the argument about self-replicating cars. He is. Go read his stuff.
It is true that you did not make the argument however you disagree with it. Why do you disagree with it.
If you're not familiar with the argument in the first place, then the discussion is pointless.
As you don't seem to want to get familiar with the argument, I don't see the point in continuing this. I'm putting you on ignore now.
Hey hey my dear
A formula of propositional logic is a tautology if the formula itself is always true regardless of which valuation is used for the propositional variables.
Then you say its an analogy and then you say you are using a methaphor. Which one is it my new teacher of modern english?
Your argument is a Lepricorn (a unicorn/leprechaun hybrid) who can blind creationists to the evidence of common ancestry) can be reasoned just as much as The Christian God, well dont be shy show me how you do so? You do not.
So you cannot POSIT (.eg put forward as fact or as a basis for argument) that there is a being called a Lepricorn (a unicorn/leprechaun hybrid) who can blind creationists to the evidence of common ancestry)?
You cannot (posit that B is real) ....and IF you can you would have done so. It is different from somebody claiming that there exists a supernatural being who created the entire universe?
What you say my highly educated friend
It is a metaphor, and an analogy, and a tautological argument.
If a Lepricorn exists with the attributes I assigned it, then it does what I said it does.
Or, IF A, then A.
This is the same argument as put forth by the gentleman to whom I was responding:
If a logic defying god exists, then logic is defied.
Or, IF A, then A.
I do a pretty dang good job of responding to nearly everything addressed to me
I work in the semiconductor industry, making computer chips on silicon wafers.
Hey hey
A formula of propositional logic is a tautology if the formula itself is always true regardless of which valuation is used for the propositional variables.
So is your formula itself true regardless of which valuation is used?
Your argument is a Lepricorn (a unicorn/leprechaun hybrid) who can blind creationists to the evidence of common ancestry) can be reasoned just as much as The Christian God.
And you are suggesting you use a metaphor, ie a Lepricorn (a unicorn/leprechaun hybrid) who can blind creationists to the evidence of common ancestry) can be reasoned just as much as The Christian God, a metaphor for what?
An analogy is a comparison between one thing and another, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification.
Well dont be shy show me how you do so?
Cheers
I'm not saying that the argument for the Lepricorn is equally good. I'm saying they are equally bad.
Hey hey
Now we are going to where i wanna be. I believe you can have a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. What do you think about this statement when we consider Your argument is a Lepricorn (a unicorn/leprechaun hybrid) who can blind creationists to the evidence of common ancestry) can be reasoned just as much as The Christian God.
Cheers lets have some fun!
Do you disagree with nihilism?
What is your opinion of nihilism?
Hey hey
It is true that you did not make the argument however you disagree with it. Why do you disagree with it.
Dont be shy
Cheers
Plenty of people have "relationships" with imaginary entities.Hey hey

First of all, that wasn't my argument. My argument was that: IF there exists a god who can defy logic, then that god can defy logic, is A teleological argument, JUST LIKE IF there is a creature called a Lepricorn who can blind creationists to evolutionary evidence, then that creature can blind creationists to evolutionary evidence. They are both equally bad arguments, and zero knowledge can come from either.
The purpose of pointing this out was in response to someone who claimed the first one, and to show through analogy/metaphor that it's a meaningless claim. In the analogy, the Lepricorn is a metaphor for god, and the ability to blind creationists is a metaphor for the ability to defy logic. Thus making them both the same, bad argument.
If I wouldn't, I'ld be a nihilist and I just informed you that I'm not a nihilist. So you already know the answer to this question. I think it's stupid.
Because imaginary objects aren't analogous to actually real objects.
Plenty of people have "relationships" with imaginary entities. Why not a lepricon?
How about you what type of philosophy do you subscribe to
- please be honest, we all have labels - and what is your work?
Because imaginary objects are not comparable in certain respects, typically in a way which makes clearer the nature of actually real objects.
Why is this so my new friend?
What is your proof or arguement that God is imaginary? How did you test? Cheers my dear
