Hey Judy, I've been getting kinda worried that your mighty brain isn't get used enough amongst us incurious dullards. So I found a new place for you to hang out and discuss theoretic improbabilities:
http://community.beliefnet.com/go/thread/view/44061/29917623/Theistic_Personalism__Classical_Theism http://community.beliefnet.com/go/thread/view/44061/29917623/Theistic_Personalism__Classical_Theism It looks great! There's a big quote from Ed Fess on page one and everyone is just thrilled to share their wild speculations. I had no idea there are so many varieties of theism, I counted 12 on one page! I'm positive that no one ever discusses things that are demonstrable so you won't ever be asked to justify a position with anything other than "It's what I believe". What's not to like! But I'd leave the junkyard dog act here, they seem like a civilised bunch and I didn't notice any sneering, badmouthing or withering insults. Let us know how you get on! ---In [email protected], <authfriend@...> wrote : I was just about positive you wouldn't admit your assertion was metaphysical, because if it is, according to the statement itself, it's "not real." You can't measure it, you can't use it to make predictions, you can't prove it, and there's no evidence for it. It's fine to believe it if it pleases you, but it isn't a scientific statement You didn't realize it was metaphysical, did you? Ooooooooopsie! The rest of the post was irrelevant bullshit where classical theism is concerned. But this howler was too good to pass up, especially since your whole ignorant argument falls apart without it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientism http://edwardfeser.blogspot.com/search?q=scientism http://edwardfeser.blogspot.com/search?q=scientism ---In [email protected], <[email protected]> wrote : Is that it? No argument whatsoever? But then you didn't have one going in to the discussion so why would you have one at the end. Business as usual. ---In [email protected], <authfriend@...> wrote : (snip all kinds of nonsense) You do realize this is a metaphysical, not a scientific, statement, do you not? So the only way it isn't in conflict with science is because it isn't measurable. And if it isn't measurable it isn't real.
