italo: In spite of what "some" scientists say, the reality is glaring. So far we have accepted our existence, and that of logic/mathematics. Now to the validity of our senses. By accepting truths as independent from us, we impliedly accept an objective world, which we are part of. Our senses access raw naked data, but our perception interprets these data in form of an inductive experience. And how we get to use our perceptions correctly creates Science. But how do we know God exists?! God can ONLY exist as a Creator, right? |

Logicboy03: There are miraculous proofs of God, not just because the Bible says so. You are unable to show me how these laws/principles prove you more logical than anyone else. My answer to your question. I neither believe nor disbelieve the toothfairy. I simply dont care about it. 1 Like |

Kay 17: They would also say the reality is glaring that we, math and logic dont really exist. Kay 17: Sometimes our senses access raw naked data of God. E.g seeing and hearing him or things or people related to him. Other times, our perceptions access much more than raw naked data. E.g, love. We know love exists without resorting to raw naked data. Kay 17: God is creator but he is also Father, Lover, Friend, etc. We know him because we have seen him and his works. We have heard him and his works. We have felt him and his works. We have heard what our ancestors in the faith taught and have found God to be just like that. E.g: They told us that God can suspend the laws of nature and we have found it to be true. How do you explain the incorruptibles and the miraculous cures at Lourdes that are examined by scientists of all creeds and certified to be beyond nature? |

italo: There are no miracles outside the bible. Infact, all miracles claimed by churches have been debunked so far. I never said i was more logical than anyone. You have nothing and this is why you run to strawmen. The rules of logic are quite clear. For example, saying that no true Nigerian will eat eba with stew is a fallacy because it falls under the "no true scotman fallacy"- clearly, a Nigerian doing such wouldnt stop him from being a Nigerian. You are asking a question that you have already solved yourself. "How do we know that one statement is more logical than the other?" How do you know that this statement is illogical; "The catholic church is a ped.ophile church because of ped.ophile priests" ====================== Now answer my damn question!! I am asking for the last time |

@logicboy, I answered your question in the last part of my previous post. There are countless miracles every minute. No miracle claimed by the Church has been debunked. You hold yourself more logical than religious people. But you are unable to show these through these laws and principles of logic. Its not strawman. Everybody claims they are logical and their adversary illogical based on the laws and principles of logic. Who is to arbitrate? |

italo: @logicboy, I answered your question in the last part of my previous post. What is with you and strawmen? I wont address your lousy accusations My point here has been made. There are rules of logic and fallacies we use to point out weak arguments. Now, answer my question- list 3 reasons why you are agnostic or disbelieve in the toothfairy |

italo: @logicboy, I answered your question in the last part of my previous post. 2+2=4 is open to interpretion? Logic itself isn't subjective. Axioms (for lack of a better word), on the other hand, could be. Note; 'could' Aren't you tired of dancing? Show which axioms are subjective or SHARRAP |

Logicboy03: You interpret the rules to suit your position; others interpret the rules to suit their position. It doesnt make you any more logical than they. I asnswered your question in post 417. |

wiegraf: I dont know what you are talking about. I do know, however, that various people hold on to contradictory positions and declare their positions to be in conformity with logic. What you have failed to do is tell me why your understanding of 'conformity to objective logic' should be adopted by all the world. |
Re: FAITH=DOUBT, RELIGIOUS FAITH= Extreme Form Of Atheism. We Are All Atheists(2) by Kay17: 11:19am On Sep 08, 2013 |
@italo Ok. Good. You can see God. Before we can suggest God exists, God is foremost a Creator, and we must be created. The most popular theist argument is, our Universe is well ordered, and such intricate order can not result from blind Nature, nor the Universe arises as a cause to itself. You follow? |
Re: FAITH=DOUBT, RELIGIOUS FAITH= Extreme Form Of Atheism. We Are All Atheists(2) by italo: 11:30am On Sep 08, 2013 |
Kay 17: @italo I dont know if it is the most popular theist argument. I dont even think Catholics' certainty of God is based on that argument. We know God is, with or without that. Still, I follow. |

italo: Because 2+2=4 Kay 17: italo: You even seem to have problems with scientists (?) that claim there is no (implied objective, in this context, as they're 'self evident') logic. This is very simple, so I'll assume you have no problem being labeled by some random guy on the internet as disingenuous, yes? |

italo: Exactly how can you contradict 2+2=4, oh lover of tap dancing? italo: So you have no problems with scientists claiming there's no such thing as reality or objective truth? |
Re: FAITH=DOUBT, RELIGIOUS FAITH= Extreme Form Of Atheism. We Are All Atheists(2) by italo: 2:48pm On Sep 08, 2013 |

♫ Dance dance ♬♩ italo: And the answer must be 4, else they'd be objectively wrong, see? italo: It's very relevant..... Do you concur; "there are objective facts" ? |
Re: FAITH=DOUBT, RELIGIOUS FAITH= Extreme Form Of Atheism. We Are All Atheists(2) by italo: 3:06am On Sep 10, 2013 |
wiegraf: ♫ Dance dance ♬♩They'd say same to you: "the answer must be 4, else you're objectively wrong." wiegraf: ♫ Of course. Though people differ on what's objective and whats not. |

In case you missed it, we'd both say the same thing, because it's objectively true... Opinions and what not; subjective. Logic of this sort? Obviously NO My logic is math; objectively true. If not, show which axioms are subjective, conjecture, etc. Then you have a case, else, among other things, you're wrong, and objectively so... 2+2 cannot be 6, regardless of opinion |

Question for Italo: You keep harping on miracles as proof of god. Now, In whatever way you define a miracle, My 1st question is: Why does the miraculous phenomena have to be attributed to god? Why not, for example, attribute such to a random one in a blue moon unknown natural phenomena that might be rationally explainable if studied in clearer detail? 2nd question is : Isn't it equally plausible and possible that the devil, which you also believe in, is using his slight of hand tricks to deceive the gullible? 3rd question: For faithfuls like you and many others, miracles are evidence of the invisible hand of god and therefore serve to strengthen your faith, right? If so, does that alone not show that you and your fellow faithfuls are coming from a position of doubt? If every miraculous phenomenom is seen as an act and evidence of god, then miracles serve to make one believe and to strengthen the faiths of those who already believe. So miracles are doubt-busters. A great weapon against doubts. Agree? So can you agree with me that a faithful mind is a mind that is always haunted By doubts ? And why would an already mysterious god decide to use even more ambiguous, more mysterious and more unscientific and irrational phenomena in the form of the so-called miracles to showcase himself? Also, all the Hindu swamis of India , and the Buddhist monks of Tibet who have been said to perform miracles: are they also from god? |
