75. You really do not even know what you are talking about.
Edited on Fri May-06-11 02:55 PM by humblebum
That "I say it's true,therefore it's true and that settles it" answer is anything but logic. Empirical logic can take you no farther than the evidence permits. Simply put, that is your limitation. Any claim made beyond that point is mere speculation. IOW, what you are saying is "If I cannot see, hear, smell, taste, or touch/feel it, it doesnt or probably doesn't exist.

But wait a minute, if I use ontological or teleological enquiry utilizing principles such as Newton's laws of motion, then your declaration of non-existence is seriously in jeopardy and your objective claim goes up in flames. Just because you say it's so, don't make it so, bubba. And just becaus you say your logic is the only logic that can be used, doesn't make it so either, bubba. Your logical conclusion is bunk!

You are advocating nothing but controlled thinking. Kinda blows the free-thinking claim to pieces, huh?
