    Aristotelian Logic Primer

    You are making a lot of assumptions above. Again I did not rip off Hurley or any other author who express the same concepts as I do. Why you insist on saying or expressing a read Hurley and ran away with it in the wrong direction is quite comical to me. I own several books on Logic. Hurley...

    What is True? Does A = A?

    You fail to recognize the context in the QUOTE above is about EMPERICAL knowledge and not about LOGIC or categorical syllogisms. I do believe the context I refer to was always logic NOT SCIENCE. The so called laws are true objectively regardless of subject. This does not mean there are no...

    What is True? Does A = A?

    I need clarify some things. I do not desire to be quoted as saying axiom is an inappropriate term to use. I never said that. I expressed that math teaches students that ALL arguments have AXIOMS in them. This is wrong. I further state that is super easy to tell student that axioms are...

    What is True? Does A = A?

    Does this require I use the original language? Why can't I know what a concept expresses in any language? Why must it be your rules? Can any concept be translated to express the same idea without a loss in meaning? You seem not to think it cannot be done. Can you cite any sources that...

    Aristotelian Logic Primer

    I will cite the information we are discussing that gives me REASON for what I have stated. To do so will take time. So here I want to specifically address what I think our disagreement is and it resolves around what a proposition is. I will prove to you later that multiple sources use the...

    Why is it *necessary* to believe (as a Christian) that the Bible has no errors?

    That maybe what he meant to say. I get that. But what he did say is an error and a no-no for a main religion. I am not talking about HIM per se but the idea he mistakenly made is HUGE. He said he believes God exists because of science. This is a no-no. Faith is I accept whatever God says ...

    Why is it *necessary* to believe (as a Christian) that the Bible has no errors?

    Absolutely NOT! It is clear to any Christian or Muslim that FAITH and SCIENCE do not co-exist. For if you have Science then you WILL wait until you are AWARE of something to be true as opposed to God telling you x is true. He believes "All unicorns are White animals" is a false claim because...

    Why is it *necessary* to believe (as a Christian) that the Bible has no errors?

    If science is required where does FAITH come in? What religion do you belong to? Christianity REQUIRES FAITH for instance. Islam requires FAITH as well. Faith is defined specifically in Christianity a certain way and NOT in your local DICTIONARY --people who need crutches-- run to...

    What is True? Does A = A?

    This is not a VALID method because you can not guarantee 100% results all the times you use this reasoning. Do predicates EVER correspond to their subjects? The proposition "All dogs are animals" does qualify with reality but the unicorn example does not. Do you not see the propositions have...

    What is True? Does A = A?

    Well there is an issue: your list from a - d are not things I literally said. I have expressed ideas similar to those but to require I find that exact wording may not happen; it might not happen for various reasons but has nothing to do with truth values of claims. I have expressed people...

    Why is it *necessary* to believe (as a Christian) that the Bible has no errors?

    You just might as well say you are biased in favor of SCIENCE. That if you can't sense verify something then you will not believe. You will likely have exceptions at your own will of course. This is what makes emotional thinking the dominant factor in thinking. This is primarily what a...

    Why is it *necessary* to believe (as a Christian) that the Bible has no errors?

    This is a horrible attempt at classical logic. You break so many rules . . . You are supposed to use categorical forms correctly and you fail basic rules.

    Aristotelian Logic Primer

    You desire citations. I can do my best to do so but I need to know which concepts of logic do you say I am wrong about specifically. You made a questionable remark on my description of a middle term for instance. What errors did you see? You also remarked about Sorites. You seem to think...

    Why is it *necessary* to believe (as a Christian) that the Bible has no errors?

    If you doubt that is YOU doing it. Truth values have nothing to do with YOU. If you were never born world events would not change. Asking for evidence is a form of sense verification. That is you must use one of your famous five senses to become aware. It is funny that most religions...

    What is True? Does A = A?

    I am not sure what You would accept as proof. You did not address that axioms are not required at all to learn deductive logic. That is where math came in. And why people think logic is about assumptions and one must start with assumptions. This is simply FALSE. Can you provide any sources...

    Aristotelian Logic Primer

    Thank you for your reply. However, it seems that some concepts are misunderstood by you. I did not cite any books because there are multiple that express what I have stated above. In other words I can point to more than one historical book that expresses what I have said. You seem to be...

    Why is it *necessary* to believe (as a Christian) that the Bible has no errors?

    I was not referring to written words nor was I referring to an authority. I am not sure what you are thinking about my claims. Basically all I said was that even if you are unaware of something a claim that is literally meaningful will still have a truth value. I do not see pressing a written...

    Why is it *necessary* to believe (as a Christian) that the Bible has no errors?

    What do you mean HUH? What part of what I stated is confusing you? Did you not understand it : i.e., you did not comprehend what the English words meant or is it that you are expressing an emotional disagreement with the response "HUH"?

    Aristotelian Logic Primer

    what do the abbreviations mean? This is not clear. The logical method ought to be clear. There should be little chance of anything else BUT TRUTH being expressed. It doesn't have to persuade. Logic is not a substitute for modern language or ordinary language. Logic as Aristotle put forth...

    Aristotelian Logic Primer

    I would like to go into distribution of terms. Many people have difficulties trying to grasp what distribution refers to. Hopefully I can explain this in a way that is helpful. Distribution refers to mentioning and describing an attribute to all of a class. Practically speaking, this...
