    Probability of God's Existence.

    @Curious George You say: "That is a non sequitur. If we are going to have a logical discussion using logical reasoning we should not stray from such a path." What is not a non-sequiture statement in my post?

    Probability of God's Existence.

    @Jeremiahcp "This thread is not about the possibility of God, I am not saying God is not possible. This thread is about probability and why we can't use it to determine if God exist." Well, which comes first, possibility of an event or probability of an event?

    Probability of God's Existence.

    There, this is the list at the top of every page of Religiousforums.com: Watched Threads Recent Posts New Posts New Watched Posts You see, alerting a poster could be useless if a poster does not care to continue the interaction with another poster, or will no longer contribute in a thread.

    Probability of God's Existence.

    @Curious George You say, George, that: "Nothingness is simply the state of no thing." Literally complete nothingness in term of existence or non-existence is not even a state [of anything]; it is plain nothingness, i.e., non-existence. So when you postulate that there was nothing at all...

    Probability of God's Existence.

    @Jeremiahcp That is why I am asking you what is your concept of God, for God is also an event that is existing; now if you call God a Flying Spaghetti Monster, then literally that is not the God event that is understood by the thinkers of the theistic religions. Let me read your reaction to my...

    Probability of God's Existence.

    Probability is the possible occurrence of an event in objective reality, but we don't know when and where, at least when, for it can occur in long long long time when we are no longer around; so it's the when and where the event will occur, but the event itself is possible of existing, because a...

    Probability of God's Existence.

    I have to apologize to everyone, because I expect posters to visit the threads they have reacted to, to follow up on their earlier contributions there. Now, I just learned from Columbus that I have to put a @ before the name of the poster I have in mind to get him to react to my post. So, I...

    Probability of God's Existence.

    @Curious George Hope this gets to you. So, what is your point about nothingness, see my immediately preceding post here.

    The object and concept of God and the existence of God.

    What I know and I hope I am not mistaken here, there are posters here who read new posts, or look for new posts which they like to react to. My OP reproduced below is about the distinction between the what I call objectival realm and the conceptival realm. Please read the OP, and tell me...

    The object and concept of God and the existence of God.

    Thanks, appreciate that!

    Probability of God's Existence.

    Dear George, let us clear up what is nothingness in regard to somethingness, i.e. existence. 1, There is the altogether nothingness at all, no existence, period. 2. Then there is the nothingness of something, like as I said in another thread, nothingness of money. So, what is your point when...

    Probability of God's Existence.

    There are things which almost cannot be proven to exist by means of words and concepts with us humans, because these things are already part and parcel of the default status of things in the totality of reality which is existence. For examples: we exist, the universe where we exist in and move...

    Probability of God's Existence.

    The present thread is to my mind totally all in the mind of the author, and also thus in effect for amusement of idle minds who are into self-abuse of their minds, like the author. It has no useful purpose outside of our mind, except if that be a purpose at all, confusing folks to the effect...

    Probability of God's Existence.

    Dear George, I think I have found what is the impasse from your part between you and me, namely, in effect you hold that nothing, absolutely, completely, totally and literally nothing is the origin of everything, and you want people to prove that that is not true, otherwise it is true for you...

    Probability of God's Existence.

    The give away clue that Jeremi is not into an academically serious thread here, is his calling God a Flying Spaghetti Monster, see below, the line in bold from me. Dear Jeremi, I invite you to tell me what you intend to convey with calling God a Flying Spaghetti Monster. Next time you start a...

    Probability of God's Existence.

    Dear Jeremi, all your talk is just in your mind only. Take care you don't get mixed up with what is purely in your mind and what is in objective reality outside and independent of your mind. But you can use what is in your mind, as a guide to seek for the realities outside and independent of...

    The object and concept of God and the existence of God.

    You see, everyone reading this thread, the most difficult task to achieve when we have a conversation, it is that we are talking about the same thing(s); otherwise there is no conversation but all each ones are talking past the head of everyone else - which is a cacophony. That is why I am now...

    Is it possible to talk with an atheist?

    Well, it is already in my location today; but with a lot of atheists they must still be in yesterday; so I guess they are still thinking on how to contribute to this thread. In particular atheists in the US. Is that correct thinking, in my first paragraph above? Paging astronomers or...

    A Challenge to the Theist and Atheist

    Dear Polymath257, let us start a new thread on what is evidence, we will work as to concur on a mutually agreed on concept of evidence, in particular in re God existing. What do you say? Do you notice at all that posters here most of them or all of them that I have sought to exchange thoughts...

    Probability of God's Existence.

    Dear Jeremi, if I may, when you ask what is the probability of bird's poop landing on your head as you stroll in a park, you do have a concept of bird's poop. You see, and forgive me or forbear with me, don't you see that you must have a concept of God, to ask about the probability of God...
