Re: Proof That God Cannot Exist
Proper English would be yhwh. The third reason it is ineffable because nobody remembers how to pronounce it, presupposing there was indeed a way.

Re: Proof That God Cannot Exist
Definitions are always of a form that combines genus and differentia. Genus means to which group is belongs; differentia means that separate it from that group. Since the Hebrew interpretation of G-d is the category which contains all categories, the only definition of G-d would be G-d. If you are ...

Re: Proving a Negative
If we accept logic as the condition that true premises never lead to false conclusions, or as you phrased it, An argument in formal logic is valid if and only if it is not possible for the premises of the argument to be true while the conclusion is false. then treating unknowns as hypothetical cause...

Re: Proving a Negative
If that premise is false, then there is a known method of collecting information from parallel dimensions that are orthogonal to the parabola of gravitational distortion. (The space where the turtle might be hiding.) Since, as you so succinctly phrased, we live in 'this one,' extracting observations...

Re: Proving a Negative
We do not live in another dimension, we live in this one. Thus we must live objectively by the "rules" this dimension sets forth. Something is distorting space/time; all the objective data agrees. Until we find out a way to supercede the effects of gravity, we can only speculate what it i...

Re: Proof That God Cannot Exist
Traditionally, infinity in respect to the Jewish god concept is a categorical infinite. Beginning with say, a mouse, place it in category, such as rodent. Then place rodent in its own category, and so on. Eventually G-d is supposedly the master category, i.e. the embodiment of the universe. This is ...

Re: Proving a Negative
When observable objective evidence is present (i.e. not turtles observed holding up earth, observable scientific theories) this is ignored by you as not evidence. However you stating that you can prove that turtles hold up the earth mathematically is evidence. Prove your positive statement before y...

Re: Proving a Negative
Assume for a moment that it is true that a negative statement cannot be proven - since this very rule itself is a negative, how can we ever hope to prove that it's true? The principle is in violation of the Law of Non-Contradiction, which says a thing cannot be both true and false at the same time;...

Hello
My name is Andrew. I'm a returning player from a year ago. In EVE, my favorite character is named Lakche, with an otherwise embarrassingly low amount of skill points if I were the type to get embarrassed over this. I like to believe I have adequately paced reflexes, and the patience to do well in th...

Re: Proving a Negative
If there was proof that negatives could not be proven, then the hypothesis "negatives can not be proven" could not be proven, unless the statement was not a negative, and the statement "the statement was not a negative" was not a negative, and the statement "the statement 't...
