      This is technically not true. It's not fallacious. It's just an unsupported assertion.
      Edit: If I say, _"Given the size of the universe, there must be life on other planets."_ That's not fallacious, because it is both logical and sound. However, without evidence, the statement is only reasonable. 'Fallacious' doesn't mean 'not true', it just means the reasoning is flawed.

      Because mind and existence are not mutually exclusive. Time is relevant to an observer and so in a timeless state you wouldn't perceive motion and obstacles the same way. People view the god as a bearded man, when God is the existence and the mind that makes it exist. Except there are individual components measurements, spans, places, etc. Everything is interwoven as of now. Matter and energy have always existed but their states can change.

    The Kalam Cosmological Argument (KCA) relies on special pleading by asserting that the universe had a cause, but exempting god from needing a cause. The design argument compares human-made objects with natural phenomena, *assuming* that because human-made objects are designed, natural phenomena must supposedly also be designed. *No constants or parameters have been definitively shown to be fine-tuned or independent of each other.*

      You are lying again - as I have demonstrated previously. God (non-contingent) doesn't BEGIN to exist, thus requires no cause. All things contingent (having a beginning) require a cause. Here, we have two separate and necessary categories of being (contingent vs non-contingent). No special pleading is even possible across separate categories.

    Every premise is broken, and it can be used to reach literally ANY conclusion you want to reach. You can use Kalam to prove The Fairies created all existence, similar to how The Ontological Argument can prove the existence of Santa Claus and Hercules.
    If everything must have a beginning, but then you declare something which exists that did not have a beginning, you're trying to have it both ways. So your god either had to also have a beginning, or "did not have a beginning" is an existent property. If I accept "did not have a beginning" as an existent property, I am not left with "Oh, some guy had to exist who didn't have a beginning, so he could create everything from nothing". Instead, I am left with "Maybe existence has no beginning".

    3. The natural forces are the logical default for the causes that we don’t yet understand until some evidence for a divine cause is found.

    The Kalam is invalid in structure because there is no connecting term:
    “Everything that begins to exist” refers to matter changing form or structure.
    “The universe begins to exist” refers to matter (and energy) appearing out of nothing.
    These are different meanings to “begin to exist”, so it’s dead on arrival.

Personally, I believe they all exist, but that certain ones are what we call fallen angels or demons. What's important for you is people don't think they have any rational basis for their spiritual beliefs at all. People can believe Santa Claus is god for all you care. What concerns you is that the spiritual concept itself may be considered rational for the individual.
      If people are rational in their beliefs then we put them in mental hospitals and keep them from participating in society where things matter. So your motivation is a social and political one.

      Ed Wood and several cast members were baptized during the filming of "Plan 9 From Outer Space" because the church that funded the film required them to be. You need to watch that film to understand the suffering that Ed Wood went through to make his artistic vision a reality.

      _Some_ here SAY that one must search for a god. However they dislike when such search brings back a different god to that they believe in, or no god at all.
      They dislike a search for truth that doesn't match what they want the truth to be.

      Do you think that slavery is wonderful? *Leviticus 25: 44-45 KJV* Both thy bondmen (archaic for male slaves), and thy bondmaids (archaic for female slaves), which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids. Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: *and they shall be your possession.*
      This bible verse tells you that it's okay to buy slaves from other nations as well as foreigners who live among you. Do you think that slavery is moral? If no, then why didn't your god simply say "Thou shalt not own humans like property"? Not to forget *Numbers 31: 17-18 KJV*

    Is arguing something is “unproven” begging the question? Yes, if it assumed the conclusion you are trying to argue against, without providing any evidence to support that assumption. Also known as circular reasoning. Advanced atheism stuff, folks.

    • @amtlpaul
      @amtlpaul 6 дней назад +3

      A few pro tips for trolls:
      1) Declaring your claims true by default doesn't make them true, nor does it oblige anyone to disprove them. Hitchens' Razor applies: "What is asserted without evidence may be dismissed without evidence."
      2) Declaring that those who reject your claims do so for nefarious reasons does nothing to establish the truth of said claims
      3) Declaring that 'real' science supports your religious ideology when you define 'real' science as that which supports your religious ideology begs the question.
      4) 'Trust me bro' isn't going to fly with those who don't trust you, have no reason to trust you, and that in fact you have given good reasons NOT to trust you
      5) "Believe me, you will be punished for not believing me" is not a winning argument, but it does tell us the sort of person you are.
      LOL, one troll (Jimedith) responded by 'dismissing' the 'assertion' that one can reasonably dismiss claims for lack of evidence because it 'lacks evidence', a self-refuting position. All Jimedith could muster in response to me pointing that was to screech "You're lying!". Hilarious.

      So, you think that when evaluating ALL god claims, everyone should presume that EVERY such being is "guilty" of existing, that way we aren't "begging the question" by not providing evidence AGAINST its existence? Or does such an assumption only apply to a single "God"?

  • @damonkenny3444

    Is saying something true only if proven true, an argument from ignorance? Yes, “Another way of expressing this (argument from ignorance) is that a proposition is true only if proven true, and a proposition is false only if proven false. If no proof is offered (in either direction), then the proposition can be called unproven, undecided, inconclusive, an open problem or a conjecture”
