Presentism and Infinite Chain of Past Events

[GrandizerII]

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.

No, that's just terrible logic, and therefore needs no serious refutation. As much as I give theists crap for the arguments they make for God, they're not generally as terrible as the example you provided.

Let me be clear, by the way, on why thinking that time had a beginning is problematic. If time had a beginning, yet time exists, then its existence was triggered. But triggering is an act, and all acts are associated with time existing, so it's like saying that something triggered time to exist within time. And that's like a logical problem, you know. Because how does time exist before time began existence?

Anyway, looks like this thread didn't go in the direction I intended, lol.
