Possible and impossible
February 25, 2016 at 11:36 pm
Why is it important for a theist to establish the possibility of a god? How is this even important?

Theist asks:
"Do you claim it is impossible for an all-knowing, all-powerful god can reveal things to you that you may know them for certain?"

Some non-theists are little baffled by this oddly phrased and ill-defined question and answer "I don't claim it is impossible."

"Aha! So you agree it is possible for my god to reveal things to me in a way that I may know them for certain."
