So how is a business 'substance'? before it exists or after its function is defined?
Point 2. "If we were to allow function to provide a sort of indirect observation that function would have to align itself to some actual observation."
We observe what's in the universe to have certain function. To make sense of the universe, we apply God. God is that answer.
You might propose another answer. This is the subject in hand: function & not material.
" For example, if the function of god was to save human beings and bring their spirit closer to itself, one would need to observe a spirit. If it were to punish the wicked, one would have to show that the wicked are punished along the lines drawn in a manner that is beyond our control or ability. If it were to create us, one would need to show that we were in fact created. See, it's not difficult to think these things up, and you should know that, since that's what classical apologetics are all about, start to finish. "
All of which we can see to be true from a Christian perspective, so you have proved it.
You're not seriously asking me why a business is "substance" are you. Drivel. Incorporation papers, taxes, wages, invoices, physical assets, etc etc etc. If asked to demonstrate whether or not a business exists it only takes one phone call to be armed with all of the evidence one needs.
Great claim following. The universe has a certain function. God makes the universe "make sense". What is that function? How have you determined this to be the function? What predictions can be made based upon that function? How does god fit into this function? What can then be observed about god from within the boundaries of this function? How have you determined this? What predictions can be made based upon this observation?
Top it off with the cherry of the the subjectivity of truth? Glad to know that ones perspective has anything at all to due with whether or not one is presenting a factually accurate description of reality. :
