im gonna need a drink for this thirst cause

2019-12-04 20:11:17 UTC  

so please recite the first way

2019-12-04 20:11:56 UTC  

bruh

2019-12-04 20:12:21 UTC  

okay so number one of the first way, our senses prove that some things are in motion
number two, things move when potential motion becomes actual motion,

2019-12-04 20:12:25 UTC  

any objections so far?

2019-12-04 20:12:58 UTC  

nope

2019-12-04 20:12:59 UTC  

addie has essentially conceded before that the argument is logical but he thinks that it doesnt prove god somehow

2019-12-04 20:13:17 UTC  

which show a lack of understanding

2019-12-04 20:13:58 UTC  

number three, only an actual motion can convert a potential motion into an actual motion.
number four, nothing can be at once in both actuality and potentiality in the same respect.

i.e: if both actual and potential, it is actual in one respect and potential in another.

2019-12-04 20:14:13 UTC  

good? any problems?

2019-12-04 20:14:22 UTC  

nope

2019-12-04 20:14:52 UTC  

number five, nothing can move itself
number six, each thing in motion is moved by something else

2019-12-04 20:15:11 UTC  

number seven, the sequence of motion cannot extend *ad infinitum*

2019-12-04 20:15:22 UTC  

do you agree with this, disagree?

2019-12-04 20:15:24 UTC  

not sure how you found that out, but lets keep going

2019-12-04 20:15:36 UTC  

final point of the first way

2019-12-04 20:15:54 UTC  

it is therefore necessary to arrive at a first mover, put in motion by no other, and this everybody understand to be God

2019-12-04 20:16:02 UTC  

ahhhh there we have it

2019-12-04 20:16:11 UTC  

"and everybody understands this to be God"

2019-12-04 20:16:17 UTC  

okay so

2019-12-04 20:16:20 UTC  

i could replace god with anything

2019-12-04 20:16:22 UTC  

and it would still be valid

2019-12-04 20:16:23 UTC  

lmao no no on

2019-12-04 20:16:27 UTC  

cringe moment

2019-12-04 20:16:36 UTC  

not understanding the argument moment

2019-12-04 20:16:51 UTC  

okay but we have to deduce that there had to be a beginning point, having had no objections prior to point eight, right?

2019-12-04 20:17:27 UTC  

no objections. Well small ones, but im granting you a few things

2019-12-04 20:17:47 UTC  

okay, so the thing is that whatever you replace with God as the beginning point

2019-12-04 20:17:50 UTC  

this explains why that critique is cringe

2019-12-04 20:17:54 UTC  

has to logically exist outside of Time itself

2019-12-04 20:17:59 UTC  

since Time is also a factor that is in motion

2019-12-04 20:18:12 UTC  

@Spergerger not sure how he figured those things out

2019-12-04 20:18:12 UTC  

can you soundly demonstrate that at all?

2019-12-04 20:18:14 UTC  

but ok

2019-12-04 20:18:27 UTC  

via logic

2019-12-04 20:18:56 UTC  

so you now admit that this argumentation offers a logical proof for something we refer to as god?

2019-12-04 20:19:37 UTC  

no, if anything it just tells us that there is a first mover. And that is only, when i grant your premises

2019-12-04 20:19:58 UTC  

addie you have shown a lack of comprehension again

2019-12-04 20:20:02 UTC  

okay so what alternatives would there plausibly be?

2019-12-04 20:20:17 UTC  

if not a thing/being that exists outside of time
