(Rolls eyes) Please. Block me. Your channel is worthless, and you are a total A-Hole, like most Theists I've dealt with. By all means block me. It would only demonstrate the same cowardice most Theists demonstrate like Venomfangx, CartesianTheist, Onceforgivennowfree, Veritas48, PPSimmons, TruthfulChristian, DrCraigvideos, Theologica37, Nephilimfree, ShockofGod, Therealdarthkye, Equestions etc etc.
I take on all comers for the most part, and I don't have to block people in a Fascist manner, because all my positions are true,and I have the great, great Philosophy of Objectivism backing me. I consider being blocked an admission of defeat on the part of the blocker, unless warranted by death threats, cursing, racist epithets, constant insult abuse, doc dropping, or sexual vulgarity.
The great Philosophy of Objectivism's foundation, meets the demands of demonstration on both counts. Objectivism's foundation is existence in sum, or simply Existence for short. I can logically demonstrate that Existence is a necessary, because when I put it in proposition, "Existence does not exist", the denial entails a logical contradiction, as I would have to exist, to write that, and make that denial to begin with.
The fact of Existence, is necessary for anything else to be true. If Existence did not exist, then nothing could be true, since everything that is true, exists. Thus, Existence is a necessary
For a fact or an entity to be necessary, rather than merely contingent, is if it cannot fail to exist. And something cannot fail to exist, if it's non-existence entails a logical contradiction. And this logical contradiction on it's failure to exist, obtains for all facts and all entities. Hence why it's necessary.
A maximally great being is not necessary. A maximally great being's existence is not needed for anything else to exist, or for any fact to be true. Thus God does not exist.
I invite you to demonstrate that a maximally great being is necessary.
People educated in Philosophy know that the way you demonstrate something is NECESSARY, is if when put into a proposition, the denial of the subject, with said proposition, entails self contradiction. Or, one shows that the subject in question must be true, for anything else to be true, on pain of logical contradiction.
Neither holds even remotely for God/A maximally great being. And since a maximally great being is not necessary, a maximally great being cannot exist. Disproving God thus.
"Since we're only here due to God"
And that is a worthless bare assertion. It means nothing logically, and it means nothing Scientifically. We're here due to the process of evolution.
The rest of your post only appeals to ignorance and mysticism.
Raatz is a crank, and his crankery infects and creates other cranks. Most people don't buy his quackery, which is why his subscriber count is so low after all this time.
People buy Thunderf00t; People buy QualiaSoup; People buy Patrick Condell and Jeff Bethke. People don't buy Johanan Raatz because they likely realize his beliefs are loony tune.
"How can conscious experiences exist without consciousness to have them?"
You're so confused and mixed up in your quantum occult, it's sad. Conscious experience is a faculty of certain entities that possess such an attribute.
Wheres the problem? When I read your comments, I can sometimes really see how messed up and confused your thinking is. But what do you expect from loony tune cranks who think dreams are real, or deny matter exists and is real.
"You're not a materialist, but you believe everything is made of matter"
I don't believe everything is made of matter. Truth is not made of matter. Knowledge is not made of matter.
See how dishonest you are? When have I ever said "everything is made of matter"? I thought you were done and were supposed to be getting lost?
"What is this retarded mess you're spewing."
Let me put it like this. How can conscious experiences exist without consciousness to have them? They can't. It's a contradiction to say that there are conscious experiences without conscious minds that have them. This is what's silly about Objectivism, it can't tell the two apart.
"Dude seriously. Are you Johanan Raatz?"
What? No, silly.
