It has all the properties of the theistic God

2020-03-29 03:32:20 UTC  

why does the pure act need those qualities?

2020-03-29 03:32:31 UTC  

we could start with omniscient I suppose

2020-03-29 03:32:54 UTC  

Omniscient requires the other points to explain itself

2020-03-29 03:33:12 UTC  

okay which point do we need to start with?

2020-03-29 03:33:15 UTC  

No,
38) Whatever is in an effect, is in in the cause in some way, whether formally, virtually, or eminently. (The principle of proportionate causality).
39) The purely actual actualizer is the cause of all things.
40) So, the forms or patterns manifest in all the things it causes must in some way be in the purely actual actualizer.
41) These forms or patterns can exist either in the concrete way they exist in individual particular things, or in the abstract way they exist in the thoughts of an intellect.
42) They cannot exist in the purely actual actualizer in the same way they exist in individual particular things.
43) So, they must exist in the purely actual actualizer in the abstract way in which they exist in the thoughts of the intellect.
44) So the purely actual actualizer has intellect or intelligence.
45) Since it is the forms of all things that are in the thoughts of this intellect, there is nothing that is outside the range of those thoughts.
46) For there to be nothing outside the range of something's thoughts, is for that thing to be omniscient.
47) So the purely actual actualizer is omniscient.

This is the omniscience argument

2020-03-29 03:34:59 UTC  

38)all in universe, so the "creator" doesnt have to follow that rule cos is not governed by the laws of the universe

2020-03-29 03:35:22 UTC  

this was my original problem with the last series of points

2020-03-29 03:35:41 UTC  

Which was refuted

2020-03-29 03:35:50 UTC  

that it seems we just create a new type of substance which is exempt from the restrictions placed on it

2020-03-29 03:36:02 UTC  

I didn't do that at all

2020-03-29 03:36:03 UTC  

well no

2020-03-29 03:36:11 UTC  

because alternatively we could call point 7 into question

2020-03-29 03:36:27 UTC  

We did, and I explained it

2020-03-29 03:36:32 UTC  

and more simply say not all substances require a precursor

2020-03-29 03:36:47 UTC  

either option eliminates our worries

2020-03-29 03:36:53 UTC  

they're really doing the same thing

2020-03-29 03:37:04 UTC  

We discussed this, then you simply have to extend that to each attribute and you are back at Pure act

2020-03-29 03:37:21 UTC  

it's the difference between "everything falls into this category except these types of things" and saying "not everything falls into this category"

2020-03-29 03:37:26 UTC  

it's effectively the same thing

2020-03-29 03:37:40 UTC  

I am one of those who think that the universe creates itself

2020-03-29 03:37:49 UTC  

Why are you discussing if you aren't going to even acknowledge my words

2020-03-29 03:37:59 UTC  

and my english is really bad so i cant really discuss about that

2020-03-29 03:38:00 UTC  

right because at that point we can apply this quality of non-contingency to anything we want

2020-03-29 03:38:03 UTC  

like the universe itself

2020-03-29 03:38:16 UTC  

Dude, I'm done if you keep ignoring me

2020-03-29 03:38:30 UTC  

I feel that I've addressed each of your arguments.

2020-03-29 03:38:56 UTC  

You haven't, maybe you think you have, but I'll say something and you'll say some random other statement

2020-03-29 03:39:08 UTC  

Hm I don't think you've addressed all of my arguments either then.

2020-03-29 03:39:11 UTC  

Either you've understood nothing, or you are ignoring me

2020-03-29 03:39:15 UTC  

what are your positions?

2020-03-29 03:39:17 UTC  

you both

2020-03-29 03:39:32 UTC  

I'm going to sleep now, we'll discuss some other time.

2020-03-29 03:39:34 UTC  

Well right now we're discussing whether non-contingency as a property must exist.

2020-03-29 03:39:39 UTC  

alright buddy sweet dreams

2020-03-29 05:48:25 UTC  

@Spider Sutra and so we see why I won't waste my breathe on you.
Do yourself a favor, go back and read through Proverbs again. Everytime "fool" is mentioned, put your own name in it's place and I guarantee, the context won't change any. You're a self serving self righteous ignoramus, as Eoppa said, "peak atheism". Where the religious seek to convert, the irreligious seek to controvert. You argue for the sake of arguing and have nothing greater to offer. I respect the right to belief, but atheism is not a belief and fools like you give me no reason to respect your position.

Go on now, say something else smug.

2020-03-29 05:53:10 UTC  

Something is missing, huh?
