@Void;
I've done gone and gotten all confused again. I do not pretend to be philosopher. Are you and/or what's-his- name saying that my basic life position is just wrong?
IE:A skeptic and agnostic atheist. (as a result) I assert I do not believe gods,the soul,an afterlife, the paranormal, alien visitations or fairies at the bottom of my garden. The reason for my position is lack of evidence for any of the things mentioned.
My position is that logic does not guarantee truth. That makes it unreliable.I demand evidence in support of even logically valid arguments. That metaphysical propositions may be unprovable and unfalsifiable bothers me not at all; perfectly happy to remain agnostic about things unproven.
I don't post this to be argumentative, but because I seem to be out my intellectual depth,and would appreciate some clarification ,in words of fewer syllables.. It's usually a hint when my first response to a complex argument is to dismiss it as sophistry.(argument from incredulity)
