The Germans are coming Wrote:A gallon is not a liter.
I promise, I understand that. You hit at what I'm trying to communicate slightly later.
The Germans are coming Wrote:basics such as 1 being 1 or 2 being 2 dont change...
This is it. I'm not talking about systems of measurement. Not even a little. I'm talking about numbers. These basics are perceived, not invented by the human mind.
the Germans are coming Wrote:1 is 1 and 2 is 2 not because a soul. almoust every living thing can figure that out but maybe not name it, as I mentioned before and what you ignored because it challenged your point and you dont want to leave disneyland.
Correct. Even if we didn't perceive numbers, they would still exist. However, without a soul, we could not perceive them. And yes, almost every living thing can count, and while I did not address your kitty cat example, I did address the same topic to futilethewinds. All animals have a soul. However, there are abilities that they lack that we have. Therefore, there is a unique human soul.

aaaaaaaaaaand?! is there any point you were making with that?!
Yes. Quantity exists in reality, not in our head. Quantity also is not material.

Rhythm is a kiddo because of how he acts, not how old he is. Anyway, I'm 21.

Caught me again! I'm just that regular ol' cultist hoping for you to fall into my trap!

Rule #2: Ignore all those that go against your arguments.
1. If you knew what a strawman was, you would know that isn't what happened. I made an argument for immaterials and only briefly talked about why option 2 doesn't work. I am leaving the rest of the thread to talk about option 2.
2. If I'm ignoring all those... then what does "all" actually mean? I don't actually think that means what you think it means.

Did you even read the title of the thread? I'm hoping to prove a soul, not God. Are we in the mathematics section? I'm not making calculations. Perhaps you should take a philosophy college course.
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
