Strong Atheism and what it REALLY means to be an atheist

RE: Strong Atheism and what it REALLY means to be an atheist
Relayer Wrote:Sure, but this is different to what you said:
Quote:the fact that it has a cause implies that it necessarily exists

In the present. I don't mean that is pre-determined. I already dealt with this.

Quote:What exactly is "necessary existence in the present"?

Truly existent in the present. If something truly exists now (in the present) then it necessarily does now (in the present) otherwise it's not true to say that it truly exists now (in the present). I don't mean "necessary" as in pre-determined (and as I said, I already said that).

Perhaps I should have used "logically" rather than "necessarily" in this case, I didn't mean to confuse you.
