[OntoLogos]

The non-theist has primary rational commitments to tautologies; they have a epistemology based on brute sensual perception and they know this from sensual persecution. And the non-theist is trapped by his post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy. For one to have a coherent epistemology one has to rise above matter and autonomy. The Logos has the rational endowment to bring certainty and coherence.

[OntoLogos]

My claims begin with what can account for human experience and things that are universal. Only the Greater for the Lessor can account for anything or ground therein.

Thus a non-universal, material, bound to space/time, moving in constant flux Cosmos fails to account for the Laws of Logic.

You stumble back into your circle of materialism and you attempt to posit a particular as the solution to a universal.

[OntoLogos]

Non-theism cuts the legs our from under ethical absolutes and the Laws of Thought, thus the non-theist cannot, with epistemic rights, appeal to reason or morality. Non-theism has not the universal tools to underwrite the Laws of Thought and ethical absolutes. Hence non-theism is self-contradictory.

[OntoLogos]

If the Laws of Logic are physical: can you put them in a beaker and test them?

Do they fit on a micro slide?

Do they grow on trees or bushes?

Can you buy a Law of Logic at Wal-Mart?

Can you cut open a living, functioning brain and find a Law of Logic in there?

No: the Laws of Logic are not physical, if they are place them on the philosophical table for me

[OntoLogos]

The atheist's denials must utilize the a priori conditions (Laws, Moral absolutes, Laws of Logic, etc.) that only theism provides.

Thus this atheist's rejection only affirms theism as it must presuppose that God certainly exists.

[OntoLogos]

The Laws of Thought, i.e.- Law of Non-Contradiction & the Law of Identity are necessary Laws that must be applied universally in all we say & do, they are inescapable, yet immaterial.

Law of Non-Contradiction: A cannot be A & Non-A at the same time in the same way. - I can't be a man & not a man at the Same time/way.

Law of Identity: A is A. - I am me. The chair is the chair.

God alone gives the epistemic framework and fixed base for the Laws of Reason. The Logos is.

Yes...

So?

[anthonymilessee]

why are the mothers of atheists so strong?

it comes from raising dumbbells

[OntoLogos]

Laws of logic are invariant, universal, transcendent, & immaterial thus God who is invariant, universal, transcendent, & immaterial must be the source and fixed base.

[OntoLogos]

If all our thinking is just neuro-chemical& bio-electric reactions in our brain, things subject to the laws of chemistry and physics, then no one is really thinking or making rational decisions...we are just doing whatever the laws that govern our biology blindly determine that we do at this moment, at this temperature,& other external factors.
