I was considering not replying at all but that might look ignorant.
You don't have be omniscient to find problems with philosophical concepts. Kant, Hume, and many other philosophers have found logical problems in many concepts. So I was wondering if there was any inherently logical problems with the concept of a Necessary Being.
Well you asked at least two questions in the opening post.
One question was "Is there anything illogical about there being a necessary being."
The other I noticed was "Have you accepted that it is possible for a necessary being to exist?"
So my reply is pretty much the same, whether it's a philosophical or scientific question.
I don't have enough knowledge about existence to know if it's illogical for a necessary being to exist, there's nothing that I know of that would make it illogical.
Secondly, I have not accepted that is possible that a necessary being exists because I don't know enough about the nature of existence.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
