Zero was just one example.
An example I used a lot here in the past was the base case of recursive functions., which is the special conditions that forces you to exist the loop of the function.
And again, that is a special case that is special because of supportive, mathematical reasons and not because of a person's or book's arbitrary say-so.
Quote:The Quran provides lots of good reasons for why God is the special case.
Unless we have a good reason to believe the Quran, it does not provide a good reason to treat Gaud as a special case; alas, there is no good reason to believe the Quran. Furthermore, the Quran may actually be the claim in this case, and a claim cannot be used as evidence of itself.
Quote:Logically, to me, it makes sense. one major reason is that all things must come from a source,
Then Gaud must come from a source; otherwise you're special pleading.
Quote:and I just simply don't believe that the big bang was caused by a random event;
I know you don't. That's called "Argument from Personal Incredulity," and it's another fallacy.
Quote:I think it was engineered, by a creator, which our minds can't get how he is there, because all we know and see is creations. Asking how he came to be is is just as meangless because the rules of creation don't apply to him.
For what reasons do the rules of creation not apply to him? "Because I read it in the Quran" is not a good answer, and "Because a voice in my head told me" is also not a good answer. Unless there's a good reason, you're still guilty of Special Pleading.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
