TheoreticalBullshit - I'm not a Christian, but I was wondering how you would respond if a Christian said this:

"If it is true that 'logical absolutes' are just concepts that we use to accurate describe the way we have seen existence behave, then one must ask WHY existence does, indeed, behave the way it does."

Basically, what happens when a Christian says that the reason things behave the way we observe them to behave is because "God designed existence to behave like that."

Any rebuttals?

[TheoreticalBullshit]

I think I said something similar to this in the comments of your video response, but...

As long as God "exists", He couldn't have "designed existence". Any God which exists is *subject* to the way existence behaves, not responsible for it. If you like, watch my videos, "Lord Logic" and "Slick Logic", in which I go into more detail about this.

Every worldview, once you peel all layers away, begins with the assumption that existence behaves the way it does inexplicably. Theism is no exception.

[RefutingStupidity]

Utilizing Slick's flawed rebuttal, I can declare that I too am omnipotent. Being all-powerful, I can do all things -- except that which is inconsistent with my nature. My nature is such that I cannot fly, disappear, accurately predict the future, so on and so forth; however, the inability to perform these actions should not be confused with a lack of ability. On the contrary, I *am* all-powerful; these acts are simply inconsistent with my nature as a human.

@RefutingStupidity Brilliant. I love it.

I THINK that what Matt means by "logical absolutes" is the patterns we observe in the universe. E.g. a rock is a rock. A rock is never NOT a rock. That's what I THINK he means.

[MrLittletomdj]

"Junkyard of confused rhetoric"... I'm so gonna use that phraze at some point.

@snarky77005 Haha - yeah, can't really argue that one. :) I still feel sorry for him though, since, try as he might, he just can't reach the top shelf. AND, he doesn't know he can't. He's like Bernard in "The Squid and the Whale" - the resemblance to that character are striking!

Still - it's hard to feel too bad, since he is such a dick. Haha.

[snarky77005]

@cottreau Well, yeah Matt is defenseless here, but he's anything but a puppy. He's more like an arrogant, intellectually dishonest prick. I can't stand Matt Slick because of his intellectual dishonesty.
