No. I would agree that math and physics (i.e. logic/sound reason) breaks down if you presuppose your theories about the start of the universe. That's a statement about your theories, not the start of the universe.

Logic, that's how! Put some Cool-Aid inside a pitcher before anyone makes the pitcher. Take a photo of it and post it here. Go ahead, give it a shot. Whatever you do, don't drink the Cool-Aid!

What I provided was an argument showing that evidence cannot be recognized as evidence without presupposing the existence of God. Thinking itself, the very act of cognition, including the perceived need for, investigation and recognition of evidence is a series of actions that could not happen...

Do you even understand what the word "presuppose" means?

Saying it doesn't make it so. Do the brave thing and actually make an attempt to present a real actual argument instead of just making baseless statements like this. SHOW ME the circularity if you think it exists. People who attempt to refute the argument I've made seem to always do this. The...

You playing devil's advocate would pose far more of an intellectual challenge to me than the alternative but sadly, you're quite right, my post was intended to be aimed at Avajs.

It was perfectly responsive. Your lack of understanding it as such, not withstanding. The existence of God has to be presupposed for you to utter a single intelligible syllable. The question, "What particular EVIDENCE leads you to presuppose God?" is itself the evidence it purports to seek. The...

For the record, I hadn't ever heard the term "Apostolicity" either. I'd wager that barely 5% of non-catholic church goers have any familiarity with the term at all and likely less than half of non-Catholic pastors and otherwise seminary trained people would know it either. Also, if you ask...

He was a waste of energy anyway.

It's incredibly annoying responding to such posts because when you quote them, then you have to go in a restore the font to the regular font or else your response will be in red, or bold, or italic or whatever goofiness the section you quoted ended in. Having to do that once or twice is one...

Didn't read it. When you post like a regular human being, we can discuss nearly anything you want. Not before then.

How many blatantly obvious counter examples are there?!!! Purgatory is place or state of purification after death before heaven. Scripture reshaped: Luke 23:43 [Jesus speaking to the thief on the cross], “Today you will be with Me in Paradise." II Corinthians 5:8 To be absent from the body...

It is weirdly surreal how badly your analogy backfires. I have a difficult time believing anyone can be this blindly unaware of themselves. You took my criticism of scientists who inject their assumptions into the evidence and then pretend to discover conclusions that were preloaded from the...

Here's a revised version of Sermon 1. Content is more or less identical but the format give it a smoother flow and feels more like a sermon... The Word Made Flesh: Logos and the Nature of Reality Text: John 1:1–5, 14 (NKJV) “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the...

That's an interesting point. I've always found it baffling that so few scientists seem able to recognize the circular reasoning behind much of the ice core data interpretation. I'm not even talking about the high-profile figures who have books to sell, institutions to protect, or agendas to...

Alright, so its been a couple of weeks since I created this sermon and when I posted it, I went ahead a read through it again. After doing so, I think I'm going to rewrite it. I like the content, I hate the flow. It's reads more like a moderately fleshed out sermon outline than an actual sermon...

The first sermon (both the outline and the sermon itself) is posted at the following thread... Sermon #1: The Word Made Flesh: Logos and the Nature of Reality Please offer feed back! I'm very open to making changes.

The Word Made Flesh: Logos and the Nature of Reality Text: John 1:1–5 & 14 (NKJV) "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was...

Sermon #1: Outline The Word Made Flesh: Logos and the Nature of Reality Text: John 1:1 to 5, 14 (NKJV) “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was...
