So if God is not a physical being, and one believes that's its existence can be demonstrated through syllogism, starting only with the axiomatic assumptions that you are willing to grant, what's the problem?If by syllogism, you mean an argument that meets the requirements of reason...you still can't get around the requirement of sound propositions.
Quote:I mean, isn't it enough that one argues for the validity and consistency of their worldview when both sides have admitted that not every true proposition can be expected to have the support of evidence?No. Unless one is arguing only for the validity and consistency of their argument for their worldview...rather than their worldviews truth. Validity and consistency will not demonstrate existence or truth..or book editors would be wizards capable of conjuring dragons. Do you, personally, feel that defining something into existence works? Is that a power that a syllogism possesses?
