Demonstrating why the Christian worldview, and it alone, can account for the uniformity of nature and induction while also resolving the problem of "the one and the many."

I also give a short answer to the "difficulty" for the Christian position on uniformity given our belief in miracles.

  • TAG makes perfect sense. Just so long as you presuppose that the Christian Bible is true.

    But if you do that, what do you even need TAG for?

    What a waste of firing neurons.

  • Everyone resorts to the transcendental argument when defending their most ruling assumptions or presuppositions. It is never really a matter of whether or not one employs the argument (as it is the only way to provide an account for one's presuppositions) between TA and no TA, but what follows the TA.

  • Your worldview makes way too many assumptions for me.

    1) that there is a god and he needs not the explanation that you seem to think the universe does (that there must have been a creator)

    2) that it is the God of the christians.

    3) that this god sat with folded arms for over 100thousand years only to reveal himself to some illiterate arabs, missing out the world superpower of the time, China, who's citizens could read and who had telescopes etc.

    and so on (ad nauseum as you like to say)

see all

  • Atheist position: some phenomena perceived correspond to reality

    Theist position: some phenomena perceived correspond to reality + my God is real

    I do not see how the theist position solves anything or is better. It is in fact worse as it adds next to the presuppositions we all use not to be a solipsist additional presuppositions about their God.

    By Occam's razor the theist position can be discarded.

  • Paleocrat gives no acount for how he knows God is providing for uniformity in nature. He merely assumes it. Paleocrat cannot even know the bible exists if he does not accept the atheist aproach to phenomenology. His view is worse than assuming uniformity based on emperical experience. This whole argument leads nowhere and only shows that the theist worldview is far more lacking than the atheist worldview. But we already knew that off course.

  • Excellent video. I wonder what the justification was for 60% of people to give this a thumbs down? "THAT MAN'S USIN' ALL DEM FANCY ARGUMENTS, BUT HOW CAN YOU TALK ABOUT GOD WITHOUT MENTIONING UNICORNS OR SANTA CLAUS HURR DURR DURR..."

  • @seansalvador1 What is 100 thousand- or 100 million- years to an eternal God?

    How did "illiterate Arabs" write the Bible if they weren't literate? (Hint: They weren't Arabs, either)

    God missed an opportunity to send the Savior to China? How much of Chinese culture from that time survives to the present?

  • TAG assumes that God provides consistency in this universe.

    This assumption is based on a sample size of zero!

    Thus TAG is self refuting.

    Atheist (and theist even if they won't admit it) base the validity of induction on the practical success it has. It works. That is all you need to know.

    Logical deduction works to, we learn that a little later in childhood.

    Blind faith, no, does not work at all except in the phase you are dependent on the ones that raise you.

  • @RealCrusadeHistory Not reason but evidence based. You want to prove that your god is real then provide evidence. Until such time be quite about your god's existance.

  • @RealCrusadeHistory - Oh yea? How so? He's the one who's doing mental gymnastics so he can continue pretending as if ancient Bronze Age mythology is true, HOW is that even more intelligent then a fifth grader defending Santa Clause, let alone me?

    1. Santa Clause is the reason for presents under the Christmas tree on Christmas morning.

    2. There are presents under the Christmas tree on Christmas morning.

    3. Therefore, there is a Santa Clause.

    The same critique of the above applies to TAG.

  • @redchango

    That douche chill is because you're a douche. This guy is considerably more intelligent than your illiterate ass.

  • @lautz73

    That's not the point, dumbass. The point is that it's all faith. At least religious people are honest about the fact that they have faith in something. Atheists go around acting like they have access to a purely reason-based mode of knowledge. They don't. Read David Hume and get over it.

  • Great video! Atheists really annoy me with their belief in this fantasy of objective rationality. Everything is faith, morons!
