(October 11, 2014 at 10:39 pm)ChadWooters Wrote: No, its a dumb point. The issue is about what remains consistent about contingent things despite the facts that they change. The physical universe is logically contingent on something prior that preserves its being between states, i.e. the space between 3 and 2.9999. Feser is spot on.

"Remaining consistent" is the opposite of change - which was the actual point here. According to him, the cup remaining consistent at 3 ft was a change taking place - which is the actual dumb point.
