None of which has anything to do with logic; and does nothing to address the point that your alternative to incomplete understanding is ancient goat-lore.

Yeah it does....morality through legislation, the idea that our knowledge base is adequate to define our freedom. Idiotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. To begin with, I propose we conduct a Control experiment using a known absolute, mathematics. This will demonstrate that the experiment model is appropriate and effective. We will both solve the same mathematical equation; and, to ensure that there is no bias in our conclusion, I will ask both @walterpthefirst and @DarkBishop to also solve the equation and provide their answers here. Once we have an answer from all four of us, myself, you, Walt, and DB, then we will move on to considering the same logical progression. Sound fair? If so, solve for X, given that L=18 and W=3: 2L+2W=X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Moderator TheRedneckProfessor Posted October 19, 2022 Super Moderator Share Posted October 19, 2022 This is pretty simple, Ed. You made the claim that logic is an absolute and agreed to test if that claim was true. Either you really are willing to test the claim, or you're not. The way you're attempting to obfuscate the issue suggests you're getting cold feet about having your claim tested. Is this true? If you're scared, just say you're scared.

mwc Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 4 hours ago, TheRedneckProfessor said: Nah, you're wrong, bro. god originally created one hermaphroditic entity, which was Adam. But when it was realized that Adam did not have a suitable partner (helpmate), god separated the feminine side of Adam (the metaphorical "rib") and created the female. Laugh till the cows come home; but I actually heard a christian apologist offer this explanation with a straight face. This is an old idea. The original creation was both male and female in one "person" so to speak in order to reflect the wholeness of god (or something I don't totally recall but it's also to reflect the first creation of creating both males and females) and then was later split into two along the back or side (since the word for rib can also be read this way) leaving the two distinct parts. mwc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgarcito, Because mathematics deals in absolutes there are no conditions that you can invoke to change that. X = 42 for you, for me and for the Prof. And for everyone, everywhere and anywhere. Even if the what we don't know about X is infinite, that doesn't change anything about the math or the result. They stay the same. They are absolute. Different brains, different personalities, different genetics, different anything - none of that changes the math or the result. They stay the same. They are absolute. Thank you, Walter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
