Get your StephenB takedown here. A classic thread.
EDIT:
| Quote | | No, it doesn’t because you can have a necessary cause without an event, but you cannot have an event without a necessary cause. If A, then B, does not necessarily translate into If B, then A. In order to graduate from high school, one must be alive [necessary cause] and be alive and attend classes [sufficient cause]. But it doesn’t follow that I can graduate from high school without attending classes, even though graduating from high school also requires being alive as a cause. To be uncaused, the student would have to graduate without being alive or attending classes. On the other hand, if the student is alive but doesn’t attend classes, he will not graduate, therefore, the necessary cause was present but the sufficient cause was not. |
Longer Sigs please.
