    "Well, I started by assuming it must be the Christian god and went from there."

    What's frustrating about these debates is there's a bunch of jargon and concepts thrown around with no shame. "Contingent being", "predication", grounds for rationalization, etc. But then we learn the guy doesn't even know what "trivial" means even though he has no problem just dismissing what his interlocutor asks using the word.

    The phrase, "by the impossibility of the contrary" is the moment where the Pre-sup attempts to burden-shift the argument onto their interlocutor. The phrase, "the folly, absurdity, or irrationality of any other world-view" is yet another attempt to shift the burden onto their interlocutor to defeat their presupposed Christian world-view which they have offered without any support, but merely the assertion that it cannot be any other way--that essentially, the comprehensibility of the universe and everything in it is wholly dependent upon the Christian God and the Christian world-view of God as creator and revelator of everything that is. The Presuppositional apologist essentially enters the game declaring victory before the first word is even spoken by his interlocutor while defending none of their claims or assertions they merely presuppose, instead demanding that their opponent disprove their unwarranted, unsupported assertions. As most experienced debaters are well aware, gratuitous assertions may be gratuitously dismissed absent evidence and reason supporting them (making them no longer gratuitous) The presupposition makes no warranted or supported assertions, so the proper response is to simply dismiss their claims as the wholly unsupported and unwarranted claims that they are. Any appeal to an argument from absurdity will at best be supported with the most brittle and dry of a straw man that they can muster; and any claim as to the impossibility of the contrary will likewise be met with equally contrived and unthought-out rhetoric as to make a philosophy school drop-out to blush with embarrassment by proxy.

    • @ajhieb
      @ajhieb 2 года назад +12

      Well, if we grant the presupper everything in their worldview (for the purpose of an internal critique) we will indeed arrive at the conclusion that all other worldviews fail. But if you stop and think about it, that's not really surprising is it? If you grant pretty much _anyone_ everything in their worldview, all other (significantly different) worldviews necessarily fail. They are for the most part mutually exclusive. The fact that the Christian worldview concludes all the rest don't work is neither interesting or unexpected. It's a great big nothing-burger. The question to ask the presupper is why you should care what their worldview says about yours, since you already reject their presuppositions in the first place. If you valued _those_ presuppositions and their entailments, you'd already be a Christian presuppositionalist.

      The accusation of burden shifting is false. This is simply a debate between two competing systems (worldviews). Both sides have an equal burden in worldview debates to provide argumentation for why their entire worldview system is more rational than the opposition.
      It's rich you guys attempt to claim it's burden shifting because you guys are so used to arbitrarily beginning with the assumption your worldview is true (by default, without reason), focusing entirely on attacking competing worldviews and then declaring victory by being "not convinced" by them, which is a textbook appeal to ignorance fallacy.
      There is no such thing as a "default worldview" that automatically becomes true if you complain about someone else's worldview.

    So, you simply choose a bunch of necessary attributes for your deity based on post-hoc references to the Bible - a book of claims - and then pretend that this confection establishes the existence of that Deity. Unbelievable.
    And if JT wasn't being dishonest, then he was being stupid.

    • @HogTieChamp
      @HogTieChamp 2 года назад +3

      Exactly! This silly effort to "list attributes of the necessary being behind predication" is nothing more than taking one's own view of God, then cobbling a reason why each of these properties are somehow necessary. It's 100% _ad hoc_ in every detail.
      For example, this god must be Tribune because... uhhh... because... umm... because love is "other centered," so therefore this completely-perfect god must have separate bits so that each bit could love the other bit or else love wouldn't exist.
      Okay... So where did hate come from? Who did God hate: Jesus or the Holy Spirit?
      Where did sex come from? Who did God have sex with? Jesus? The Holy Spirit? Both??
      Nah, they'll tell you that hate and sex and bicycle riding and ping pong and grilled cheese sandwiches could all exist (in potential) inside this wholly complete god... but for some reason, this wholly-complete god couldn't possibly possess the potential for love if there were only one unified, wholly-complete god!
      That's just ONE example! Your point covers _literally every one_ of the purported "necessary attributes" of the "necessary god."

    • @michaelfredgren1342
      @michaelfredgren1342 2 года назад +2

      The funnier thing is that there are also references in the Bible that challenge these necessary attributes. In Genesis, Yahweh says that "He NOW knows that Abraham is a faithful servant" after the almost sacrificing his son. There is a passage in I Kings that talks about Yahweh allowing false revelations to be sent which then questions the validity of any revelation that one receives.
      The funniest thing is that when presented with the Bible verses challenging Yahweh's qualification to have the necessary attributes, I get told by presuppers that I am not interpreting the Bible correctly because I have not accepted the Holy Spirit. In order to get the Holy Spirit, one must accept the Word of God. But why should I accept the Word of God when it may be a false revelation? This is where most presuppers including JT have disengaged.

    Interesting points Jack brings up here.
    Why do the presups always point to this group of necessary attributes (Omni, Omni,Omni,etc.) but don't include stuff like being born in Bethlehem, walking on water and having 12 buddies? It would seem that these would be just a as necessary as the others if you're going to stump for the christian god.

    • @ajhieb
      @ajhieb 2 года назад +24

      Simple. It's because they're claiming to present the _necessary_ criteria, they're actually just presenting the _sufficient_ criteria which is a much lower bar. It's just another trick designed to confuse people that aren't intimately familiar with the terminology used. Most of presup is designed to use language that has common and philosophical definitions and then equivocate between the two. That way you're using words that are familiar so the argument seems to make sense, but the context the words are being used is unfamiliar so their interlocutors don't typically catch the misuse/abuse of the terminology.

      Maybe within christianity, in islam revelation is quite clear.
      For example, Mohammed got a revelation from god that existing, non islamic religious stuff, was allowed within conquered land. Now this was good for peacekeeping, but it was most impopular with the religious leaders and they claimed Mohammed was not a true muslim.
      An other example, shortly afterwards Mohammed got a revelation from god that existing, non islamic religious stuff, was not allowed within conquered land. People asked about the previous revelation, and Mohammed said it was a message from the devil. The next question asked was why he knew this revelation was from god and the previous one from the devil and not both from the devil. Mohammed said it was revealed to him by god that it was god and not the devil.
      As you can see, revelation is quite clear.

    when talking to an adult, you would consider it a provocation if they started saying obviously false or trivial things in response to your queries, but what we forget is these are people with adult bodies but they have turned off their ability to reason for themselves, so they repeat the script, no matter how much it appears they are being deceitfully or deceptively stupid in their responses.

    The ironic thing is that if the presuppositionalist would stop adopting such indefensible positions they could have a much stronger apologetic
    Just approach discussions with the modest claim that this “worldview” is a better account than the interlocutors instead of adopting strong categorical claims like “the impossibility of the contrary…”
    I think most people would be better persuaded by their account rather than the absurd claims they think derive from that account

      They do it for the same reason that they claim an omni-omni god. Ego. They have to have the biggest bestest mostest god, otherwise somebody might be able to claim a biggester bestester mostester god that could beat their god. They could claim a really smart, really powerful, god that would be much more plausible (or actually possible, for that matter) but their egos won't allow them to diminish their biggest bestest mostest concept.
