Presentism and Infinite Chain of Past Events
#11
RE: Presentism and Infinite Chain of Past Events
Quote:Logical contradictions can't be ignored.

*chuckle snort*  Of course they can.  What's more, arguments based on logical contradictions and/or flawed logic can be ignored.  Here's a famous case in point:

1.  All cat are mammals.
2.  Socrates was a mammal.
C.  Socrates was a cat.

If you wish to spend your spare time trying to construct a refutation to prove that Socrates wasn't a cat, that's your own look out.  For me, I choose to ignore it and move on.
