A 'definiton' does not make something real. There are definitions of fairies, goblins, werewolves and vampires. Are these real?
You didn’t follow what I was saying. Redefining a term to try and prove it does not exist is logically fallacious. You have incorrectly defined naturalism as all that exists and defined the supernatural as non-existent which does nothing to prove whether or not the supernatural exists or not. I could redefine atheism to mean “A person who does not exist who also does not believe in God or gods”, but that in no way proves atheists do not exist now right?

I do not suppose that something is or is not supposed to be here, only that if it is here, then it is real, it exists.
…but you used the term “supposed to be here”, so now you are backing away from that? How do you know whether something is “here” or not? I smell circularity…again.

Nope, nature is a product of God’s creation, not God Himself.

ex•ist verb \ig-ˈzist\
intransitive verb

a : to have real being whether material or spiritual <did unicorns exist> <the largest galaxy known to exist>
That definition right there would apply to God since he is a spirit. So I guess you argument crumbles.

Nor will we, you stick to your axioms I will stick to mine.

I do not share your low view on logical proof.

Then you have no basis for calling me irrational, since my arguments do not contradict scripture which is my stated ultimate authority. So we are both behaving in a manner consistent with our worldview and primary axioms so we are both being rational.
(September 20, 2011 at 9:45 pm)IATIA Wrote: Definition of SOUND
You should still avoid using that word when dealing with science, soundness when used in argumentation is only applied to deductive arguments. “Solid science” would be a far more appropriate term.

Throw the bible away, burn it, trash it, whatever, but get rid of it, out of your mind, then determine if god does exist. (Little voices in your head will not count )
Nope, it would be special pleading to allow you to stick to your anti-biblical presuppositions while making me abandon my pro-biblical presuppositions. I will not engage in special pleading with you, that my friend would be irrational of me to do. Stick to your guns, I will stick to mine.

Oh, I see.

Not if everyone only desired to make completely moral decisions.

They were affected by the fall (death and disease), but they do not have souls so they are not punished in the afterlife for man’s sin.

Wait, immortal deer? You're a nutbag. Your "rational" worldview has lead you to argue for events that didn't occur, and absurdities such as Deer that Never Die™. Checked the canaries recently?

Deer were immortal before the fall yes, well at least the created ancestors of present day deer would have been.

Exactly what I asked. Which deer are the created deer?

The ones that were created during the week of creation. Not sure what else you want.

What's the deal, you have all the answers until someone actually asks a question? The it's church mice?
