Priceless."So you either want to debate in which case you need to counter claims already offered to you in posts: of question begging, special pleading and compositional errors in the cosmological argument or you don't. Every time anyone demonstrates a logical fallacy in your arguments, your retort is you haven't demonstrated anything my logic is sound yah-de-yah-de-yah ad infinitum.
Where have I been given a formal refutation of the cosmological argument? Im more interested in a refutation of a single point of my argument regardless of similatities. You make the point here and if it challenges anything i have said i will refute it.
Yes I have quoted from my book. but that was because I was about to end this thread and left you with a warning. I already discussed the logic behind your baseless expectations to see accept God when you have seen him, the verse was merely to let you know that there is a consequence for your stupidity and you have limited time to give it up. Fair enough you dont believe the quran is from the creator, next thread ill intellectually prove it is.
Can't help thinking that you can't get your head around the fact that other people don't see it as you do and therefore we are all wrong and should convert on the spot. The cosmological arguments you parade are as old as the hills and have been debated by better minds than us. If the answer was clear cut as you suggest then there would be no debate. The fact is these are VERY weak arguments for a god/s and you need to do a lot more work to engage anyone in a debate on here than just assert the universe is limited, therefore there is an unlimited god.
