The same way it would happen these days.

Can you define what an "illogical possibility" is?

Mate. You are talking about a birth. A bigger thing happened millions of years ago. Genesis. Was that also logically impossible in your paradigm?
You have to seriously redesign your sources of knowledge. Develop an honest epistemic responsibility. Cheers.

Yeah sorry mate, how would it happen, honestly just humour me

According to Christians, and Most Muslims, it was a miracle. Obviously.

Logical impossibility is simply non-sense, and thus cannot be made “real” in physical terms in the first place.
In logic, when we say something is "logically impossible," we mean that it violates the fundamental principles of logic or reason. These principles form the basis of rational thought and argumentation, and they help us distinguish between what is possible and what is not.
If something is logically impossible, it means that it cannot be true or cannot exist without leading to a contradiction. In other words, it would violate the laws of logic, such as the law of non-contradiction or the law of excluded middle.
Something is logically impossible if it is contradictory, or against the laws of logic. Thus a round square is a logical impossibility, and it is logically impossible to be a tall man without being tall.
There you go.
No I don't and I'm more then happy with mine, thanks.
From your tone, you sound like you're happy with yours as well, so tell me, what does 'logical impossibility' have to do with the existence of God?

Do you believe it was a miracle?

Well, IF it happened, of course it was a miracle.

Yeah. You just explained that your statement about a miraculous pregnancy was a logical impossibility was false.
Existence of God? That's not the topic. Irrelevant.

Do you think it happened?
Yes okay, but if it did relate to the existence of God? How?
Do you agree?
firedragon
Veteran Member
That's irrelevant. You are trying to build a red herring and derail the thread. I am not interested brother.
Again, irrelevant.
Agree with what? Please be precise.

Do you agree that my statement about a miraculous pregnancy was a logical impossibility was false.

Yes. It was false.

Some people say many nonsensical things. It's their arrogance that impedes their intention to research about a statement they are gonna make. Fallacious things people say does not mean I have to engage with red herrings.

That is news to me. How can humans violate the laws of logic?
firedragon
Veteran Member
Could you tell me precisely what law of logic humans could violate?

Not all logical traditions are identical; systems of logic are based on axioms which may not be universally accepted. The law of the excluded middle vs the tetralemma or catuskoti, is perhaps the best known example of contradictory laws of logic.
Catuṣkoṭi - Wikipedia
The wider point is that logic is not reality, it is a product of our human perception of reality.

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
Bingo.

I agree they are a product of our experience in reality. Until someone can tell me how the three basic laws of logic can be violated I will believe they do reflect reality.
