Audie,
On further thought. I am wondering if I took your question the wrong way?
I think it is extraordinarily difficult to get context especially when you don't know the other person all that well and even more so in text where inflection can make a huge difference
Cheers

Re: Can any thing be infinite
Jac, I agree with you for the most part... Over the years I have had a number of good discussions which were charitable intellectual and challenging. I have found great respect with them. However I have had bad experiences too, some highly critical of theists to the point of ridicule and the belief ...

Re: Can any thing be infinite
Actually I will also add, that recently I have debated from a scholastic/classical theist position and many atheists simply don't know how to respond. I have either been left with crickets or when they do respond straw men arguments. Basically I have seen atheists go into a complete tail spin, agai...

Re: Can any thing be infinite
Jac, I must say once I started on the journey on scholasticism and I wrapped my mind around hiacrhcial ordering in particular I lifted my hand in front of my eyes and went woohoah! Right now I am sitting on my back landing, we have a lot of trees and just watching the wind rustle through the leaves ...

Audie,
In Australia as a bit of a Joke and gentle dig we might say in response, what does that have to do with the price of eggs in China?

Re: Can any thing be infinite
Good points Jac.. For me Craig helped get the ball rolling I must admit. These days I don't totally agree with a number of his views.. However with regard to the kalam Craig admits that each premise leading to the conclusion is probably more true then it's negation. Actually I beleive this is his po...

Re: Can any thing be infinite
Actual infinites truly lead to absurdity, this is one of many reasons why it is believed that an unmoved mover must exist and that time & physical reality/events cannot be "actually" past infinite, or another way of saying it is that a temporally ordered number of events cannot be act...

Re: Shroud of Turin
You know I was watching an old debate of Craig vs Ehrman on the resurrection . Craig uses normal historical facts to argue for the resurrection as the best explanation of facts many historians accept. Ehrman balks on any miraculous explanation because (to paraphrase) "miracles are the most imp...

Re: Can any thing be infinite
Um squib that went over my head, I have no idea what you said. A potential infinite never gets to infinity but rather approaches it. For example like a non-terminating process such as counting where we add 1 to the previous number, or lets say dividing between two points and then again between thos...

Re: Is there a God?
Kenny, I thought you would pick that out of the video and like that. What about the core of what it was saying? Also you realise the person who said that is a Christian philosopher? Mind you that is consistent with my position, in that I have never claimed absolute certainty, also claimed my positio...
