Here's how the thread has played out thus far:
"Here is my straw man refutation of the 5W."
"Well, even if my refutation doesn't apply someone sometime did so I don't need to."
"Well even if I cannot produce a valid refutation it doesn't matter. All propositions require empirical verification (except this one.)"
"Philosophy is bullshit."
Pointing out a limitation of philosophy is not the same thing as calling it bullshit. Can you give an example of something besides God that philosophy can prove to exist without evidence?
