Credible/Honest Apologetics?

[Jehanne]

For you, maybe, but that seems to be because you need it to shore up some otherwise shaky conclusions you prefer to hold.  It's motivated reasoning, pure and simple. I wasn't claiming your demonstration was inadequate.  That would be a straw man.  I was impugning your conclusion.  We've discussed these matters before.  I wasn't shooting blind.

You are, of course, entitled to your opinions about my internal thought processes. Recently, this article came out having to do with both the PNC and the PSR. I had advocated for both in the past, and had always considered them separate issues. I found it interesting that the author saw a relationship between the two. You might find it interesting...or not. Someone like Pyrrho would not be impressed.

I read the article, where Dr. Bonnette states the following:

A few confuse the “nothing” of quantum mechanics with the “absolutely nothing at all” that the philosopher is talking about.

Problem is that a physical state of "absolute nothing at all" is well defined, but, from the Uncertainty Principle, such a state cannot exist, physically; therefore, by PSR, the Universe must exist necessarily.
