Ditto. See below.
Quote:Implying the existence of a necessary being implies existence itself is necessary. No logical attempt to justify this assumption has been made, this step has been skipped.
Again, if we have a sound proof of A, and A implies B, we also have a sound proof of B. The soundness of a proof doesn't rest on how much time we spend discussing its implications. (See earlier point about having to get your hands dirty)
Quote:If not, please stop wasting my time by defending something you don't even buy into and defending it with badly thought out comparisons at that.
Not until you start making valid counterarguments Tongue

There is not sound proof of A due in part to the fact there is not sound proof of B.
Just so we're clear, A in this case is the existence of a necessary being and B is the necessity for existence.
Without B, A is meaningless... abit like every statement you've made in response.
Retort with something relevant that proves this wrong or don't retort at all.
You're beginning to bore me with your thinly veiled deflections.
