Can we have this in English.

I take account what evolution naturalism wise proposes in my argument and elaboration of the premises.

Without God giving power it does not have a reliable source.
Goodness has a proper accurate meaning.
Therefore God exists.


The three premises need elaboration, I will post one post per premise elaborating on them.


I will ask people to check validity of argument before the premises are debated or elaborated.

The argument can rephrased:

Praise to have accurate meaning, will power part of it must have a reliable source.
Without God giving power it does not have a reliable source.
Praise has a proper accurate meaning.
Therefore God exists.

Will elaborate on each premise once we get past the over all structure validity.


Argument does’t Means what you think it means.

There are like three unfounded assumptions in your opening sentence alone.
Your premises don't require elaboration; they require a solid base.

But by all means; this is your thread.

Solid doesn’t mean what you think it means either.

I'm not even talking about your 'three premises'.
You have three premises within your 'first premies'. That said, i haven't gone through The pages yet. (I am on my phone.) so maybe you have attempted to provide evidence for what i'm saying.

No.  I don't have to exert willpower to behave in a civil fashion and do nice things for other people.  That's my default mindset.

Now, if I had to do something violent and cruel, it would take a phenomenal amount of willpower to psyche myself up to do the deed even if there was an indisputable need to act in such a way.
