There doesn't -have- to be evidence against -any- premise. That's not how this works. FFS. You've just pulled the "prove me wrong" card.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Nope. Doesn't work like that Claim 1: everything that begins to exist has a cause Claim 2: the universe began to exist Unless these scientifically grounded claims about the physical laws of the universe can be demonstrated by the claimant, then the entire argument is vapid, and I am free to remain unconvinced and unaffected by its conclusion...a conclusion that you can't even logically explain, btw.

We have a physicist in-house. Should we call him in as an expert witness you think? [emoji6]

I feel the same way about myself. If a chimp with a keyboard can derail your knockdown "rational justifications" for a god, maybe you don't have any.

They are functions of the concept of quantity which itself is a function of the idea of an object. In the universe at large there is only undifferentiated being. The desk is a part of the room which also contains the chair. None of these are distinct objects except in the conception of the mind. There is nothing special about the substance of the desk which separates it from the air surrounding it. We impute a distinction by virtue of the way our senses break things down into separate parts. The parts don't really exist as parts, it's just a function of the way our senses perceive the whole. We 'break it down' into parts because that is the way our senses work. If we didn't have this breaking down into distinct objects, we wouldn't have the concept of quantity. Quantity, numbers, and relationships are artifacts of the granularity of our senses. As artifact, they don't exist as natural kinds in the universe. That we break things down into objects and parts when we perceive them isn't grounded in God. So quantity and number aren't grounded in God. That depends on what you mean by an anti-realist. ![[Image: extraordinarywoo-sig.jpg]](https://i.postimg.cc/zf86M5L7/extraordinarywoo-sig.jpg) |
