RE: A "meta-argument" against all future arguments for God's existence ?
March 9, 2022 at 5:22 pm
I always find this does well against all claims that God exists:
(1) If God exists then God gave people free will
(2) For God to give people free will then free will must be possible
(3) But free will isn't possible
(4) So God can't give people free will
(5) So God cannot exist.
The form is something like if X then Y if Y then Z not Z so not Y not Y so not X
