So the strength of the argument that this knowledge is ingrained would be that it is an unfalsifiable proposition? I'm not sure why you feel that this is a strength, but to each his own.
The subjectivity of "the obvious". And what would we follow this with?
a criticism of subjectivity, using two things so easily described as subjective that I can't believe you've even hit post. Are you implying here that nothing that is "real" can be subjective? Art critics the world over would like to have a word with you.
It is an argument from ignorance. No matter how many times you repeat it, it won't become anything else. Nothing comes from nothing, okay, noted.
Fundie response alert.
You'd prefer "something from nothing" to infinite regress? I thought evolution was right out on these grounds alone?
So god can cause existence from his existence? Did he cause his own existence, and did he cause the cause of his own existence..ad infinitum? I thought you discussed this above. "For all you know" eh? Can I have all of your illusory stuff then?
Is it? You know why god doesn't communicate with us? Perhaps this new thread could start by establishing that god exists to communicate in the first place? Surely you'd have that handled before you proceed to give me a tour of the divine.
