The argument from power.

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

As will power is essential to goodness,

 

Sez who?

 it must have a reliable source for goodness to have proper accurate meaning.

Non sequitur.

 

Without God giving power it does not have a reliable source.

Asserting the conclusion.


 

Goodness has a proper accurate meaning.

I look forward to you telling us what this meaning is.  Before you do, consider the following:  Theft can be good or bad.  If I steal something from you for no other reason that a selfish desire to possess what you have, this isn't goodness.  If I steal food or medicine to help a starving or desperately ill child, it can be nothing but goodness.

 

Therefore God exists.

This does not follow.

 

The three premises need elaboration,

Bloody well right they do.

I will post one post per premise elaborating on them.

Joy.


 

I will ask people to check validity of argument before the premises are debated or elaborated.

Done my bit.  Carry on.

 

The argument can rephrased:

Praise to have accurate meaning, will power part of it must have a reliable source.
Without God giving power it does not have a reliable source.
Praise has a proper accurate meaning.
Therefore God exists.

This isn't exactly 'rephrased'.  You've just plugged in the word 'praise' in place of the word 'goodness'.


 

Will elaborate on each premise once we get past the over all structure validity.

Yeah, good luck with that.
