[quote]You're entire argument is nonsense. You don't grasp that while logic does exist, it changes as well. It's not a constant.[/quote] lol... Logic is not fluid, anymore than the answer to 2+2 can be fluid. Sorry to be blunt, but you have to be retarded or blinded by your sheer egotism to believe logic is man's opinion and can change from this to that. 2+2 will always equal 4. I mean, you can believe some day that it might equal 5 all you want, but i think it's utterly retarded.
[quote]It's built on truths we learn and discover about reality. Your logic for God isnt built on an objective truth, and the conclusion that is deduced from that unproven assumption is equally unproven, and therefore not objectively true.[/quote] for the 6th time now, provide a counter argument to Aristotle's Unmoved Mover. You simply assert, "it's not true! It's not true! It's all assumptions!!!11" without even addressing the thesis. Putting your finger in your ears and going "lalalala it's false bc false! It's false bc false!" Is cute, but i need a real rebuttal that actually acknowledges the logical deduction we're discussing.
[quote]You can't compare an objective truth to a subjective idea and say the idea is validated. It doesn't work that way as you seem to think.[/quote] i'm not. You are. Logic is objective. But you think it's a subjective opinion that can change...
[quote] I can have the greatest most logical idea of all time, but the idea is not true until it can be verified. You can't verify or test your philosophical idea, hence the reason it is philosophy. [/quote] No, it is true. If there was a really really long and complex math equation, that has no relevance to the real world, how do you determine if the answer is true?
[quote]I can go go get 2 objects, and then 2 more objects and plainly see that 2+2=4. It can be tested and verified. Your belief in the pure act and unmoved mover cannot be. [/quote] materialists are so elementary aha... Imagine a longh string of random numbers, and plus signs, and square roots, ontop of divisions, and multiplications, on top of even more random numbers. To find whether that answer is true, do you logically deduce the problem? Or do you, like you're suggesting, find a bunch of rocks, multiply them in your cloning machine, divide them with your precision fraction cutting machine, just to figure out the answer? You worship physical objects, it's quite funny. Truth can be determined via use of the objective metaphysical laws of logic, material objects are not neccessary. But if you need 2 cans and put them next 2 other cans, to realize 2+2=4, that's fine, most children need that kind of presentation. But I can figure it out in my head via logic. The same way I can figure out a Pure Act is necessary for anything to exist at all.

You can only check the math equation against the math laws we have established. That's what the calculus example was for, basic math doesn't hold true at a certain complexity level, so Newton had to invent new math. And the good news is your opinion doesn't matter, its still philosophy, not an objective truth. Your feelings don't change things.

It is not suspended when the math gets more complex lol... [quote]And the good news is your opinion doesn't matter, its still philosophy, not an objective truth.

Try not to contradict yourself so much.

Edited by Britton: 6/24/2015 4:39:31 PMIf it was objectivly true it wouldn't be philosophy. It would just be a fact. And I wasn't referring to just the basic operations of math. You're unbearably dense.

If logic were not objectively true, than neither is 2+2=4. Which is retarded.

Incorrect. Logic itself is true, however that doesn't mean the conclusion, or assumption its built on is automatically true as well. That's what you're not getting, I've repeated that at least 3 times and everytime you ignore it. Logic is built on assumptions, and arrives at a conclusion. The assumption and conclusion can be incorrect even if the logic is sound.

Edited by cxkxr: 6/24/2015 4:53:51 PMAgain, you have to present where in Aristotle's premise did he go wrong? You merely assert that it's false, without providing a counter argument. It's hard to take you seriously at this point. Mere assertion and vague generalized rebuttals aren't very credible.

I'm asserting his assumption is unproven, and therefore not objectively true.

You can prove that 2+2=4 is objectively true without the aid of physical objects.
