This is a pretty good summary of the pwnage RDFish has visited upon StephenB in the past week or so. If you've been following this exchange, it's been a pretty good beatdown for StephenB, made all the more dramatic by RDFish's civil and engaging tone.

Here’s a nice summary of where you have failed to respond to my arguments.
1) To say that “something receives existence” entails a logical contradiction (because it presupposes existence)
2) “Potential existence” is an incoherent concept (except in the most banal sense of one existing thing being shaped into something else)
3) LoC cannot be logically derived from the LNC (because existence is not a predicate)
4) Knowledge can never be absolutely certain (because epistemology is not solved)
5) Logic cannot be formally mapped to abstract questions of existence, e.g. the origin of the universe, the nature of causality, the problem of free will, etc, and so the Rules of Reason do not produce objectively true answers to these questions. |
