Can something come from nothing

[robvalue]

Emjay: The Aquaman arguments, at least the "five ways", are just ridden with logical fallacies and don't need any extra understanding to debunk. The conclusion is also bullshit, just arbitrarily labeling these five non-outcomes the same meaningless word "God" and hoping no one notices that they haven't been sewn together in any way.

However, I really respect you spending time reading more of "the opposition". People are so often plagued by confirmation bias, and ignore disagreeable materials like... the plague

I'll be very interested to find out what you think! The rest of his material, I think, includes an attempt to cross the chasm between the faceless deistic "God" the 5 ways produce (which doesn't even get as far as intelligence) and the Christian God. I can't stomach it, so I look forward to any highlights!

I feel Wooters has a genuine passion for philosophy, but his insistence on reaching certain conclusions has warped him (and his logic especially) to the point where he has detached his studies from reality. Philosophy without science produces no results outside of the abstract.
