I use the equivalence rule to break down the double implications into their single implication form.
Ok so write down the "if and only if" statement which would be the double implication. Or right the two separate implications. I'm not contesting the theory, I believe in God and believe there are various sound arguments point to her existence, I just want to see how this argument is both valid (valid seems alright) and sound. Sound is my main contention, I don't know why these double implications are evident, unless you can explain exactly what they are saying (if and only if type statement in English or show the two separate implied statements).
