Brian says: "If you want to prove that God is the creator of the universe, you can't use 'God created the universe' as a definitional premise. Boob."
That is very good, but tell me how are you going to get to know what you are talking about?
You see, that is the concept in our mind, then we will go forth into the reality of objective existence to search for evidence of an entity that corresponds to the concept in our mind.
Now you will continue with saying that it is circular reasoning.
What is wrong with circular reasoning? that is what we do in our mind, otherwise we will not even know in our mind what we are thinking about.
When you know both the subject and the predicate of a thought in your mind, i.e. a sentence in your mind, that is a circular thought, but it is useful to proceed to search for the object as thought of correctly, namely, that one word or several words stand for one another or several other words, in terms of concepts in our mind: otherwise, I ask you how can you think at all as to know what you are thinking about, unless with concepts which concepts come to you in words?
Suppose, Brian, let you and me exchange thoughts about circular thinking or reasoning or argument, is that all right with you? so that we can get started on with a logical launching pad?
