First thing I always have to say is that, outside of a few internet apologists (the Matt Slicks, Darth Dawkins, Sye Ten Bruggencates, and Jay Dyers) that nobody takes presup seriously. You'll find people in academia arguing about fine tuning, modal ontological arguments, psycho-physical harmony, and so on, but nobody really even cares to write about presup. Because presup isn't really an argument. It's a rhetorical device that says "Solve whatever philosophical problems I throw at you or else I'll declare your whole worldview absurd". And some people try in good faith to justify their worldview to the presups, and it's always a mistake.
A big issue of presup is a tremendous lack of imagination. Over and over again they'll claim that there are "laws of logic" and without them everything collapses. This misses out on, well, most of all the philosophy about logic going on for the past few thousand years. Aristotle questioned excluded middle. There are logics that don't have excluded middle. People have questioned non-contradiction. There are logics that tolerate some contradictions. There are logics that don't hold to the same view of identity as classical logic. For some reason, no presup has ever heard of this. Almost as if they know rock all about logic. Moreover, they have a penchant for claiming knowledge can't be possible without God. The world waits for why anyone would accept that, but they do it. And without knowledge, they eagerly tell you, all is lost. Which sort of forgets about a few thousand years of sceptical philosophy that has called the notion of knowledge into question on all sorts of grounds. Almost as if no presup has any interest in engaging with epistemology.

It's all smoke and mirrors and the only correct response is not to play this very silly game and wait to see if any presup ever produces an actual goddamn argument instead of grilling random atheists about what atheists believe.

The world holds its breath.

>>18758154
I'm a Christian, but I fail to see how the transcendental argument isn't a clear example of begging the question. Why can't our intuition of "knowledge" within a set sphere (called "the universe") itself be a function of chaos - like bubbles of air rising in an otherwise boiling pot?

We don't need to rely on philosophical arguments to prove God's existence. We have faith that He exists and rewards those who diligently seek Him.

>You'll find people in academia
What is understood or considered acceptable ideas in the academic priesthood is of no consequence, and what is considered in the academy speaks more to conscientiousness than truth. This is an appeal to authority fallacy.
>Because presup isn't really an argument. It's a rhetorical device that says "Solve whatever philosophical problems I throw at you or else I'll declare your whole worldview absurd".
Yet those foolish people who tell themselves this don’t seem to be under the impression that Immanuel Kant was using a rhetorical device rather than arguing. What we are talking about is a transcendental argument, it is an argument, you just dislike it because you can’t answer it. This is an argument to the stone fallacy.
>And some people try in good faith to justify their worldview to the presups, and it's always a mistake.
I very rarely encounter any atheists who do anything in good faith, but there it is not so much a mistake as a failure, because they may try to justify their worldview, but they fail.

Despite the empty dismissals throughout this post, this is an actual attempt to answer the argument. The claims about presup ignorance are false and irrelevant so I will ignore them. Now this answer is this: that there is no problem with laws of logic not existing. In reality, this is wholly absurd, and it is the embrace of the absurd. No, jettisoning the laws of thought is not in reality an option and those who do so have done little more than intellectualize schizophrenia. For example, if it is true that the law of non-contradiction can not exist, then it is false that the law of non-contradiction can not exist; and refuting this is absolutely impossible without presupposing the law of non-contradiction. And while there have been skeptics who claimed we really couldn’t know anything, yet those same delusional men knew to drink water when they were thirsty. The reason the transcendental argument is so effective is not because unbelievers give no excuse but because they are unable to give any excuse which does not ultimately presuppose the existence of God.

It is not begging the question because 1. The premise is not contingent on the conclusion, 2. The allegation of the argument is that not only itself but all propositions whatsoever necessarily presuppose the existence of God.
And we are not talking about a feeling of having knowledge, but the actual possession thereof.
>We don't need to rely on philosophical arguments to prove God's existence. We have faith that He exists and rewards those who diligently seek Him.
We have faith in the truth, and faith in Him, we do not have faith in faith. The scriptures say that God has left man no excuse for his rebellion against Him (Romans 1).

Knowledge is reliable predictive power. Historical knowledge predicts what sources and digs will show, and recent history predicts more, as with alibis. Lucky guesses don’t count, because they aren’t reliable. So knowledge exists to the extent the world has stable regularities. It needs no guarantee of that stability, because it measures it.

>The premise is not contingent on the conclusion
Its first premise quietly presupposes the very conclusion it is supposed to establish: "if X (e.g., God) does not exist, then Y (e.g., intelligibility/rationality) cannot exist" is entirely unproven and smuggles the conclusion in from the start.

Instead of proving that God is the only possible foundation for logic or reason, the argument defines logic and reason in a way that already requires a divine mind. Anyone who does not already accept the conclusion has no rational reason to accept that premise.

TAG proponents try to bypass the circularity by arguing for the "impossibility of the contrary". You claim that if you reject God, you are left with absolute scepticism, where logic and truth cannot exist.

This begs the question by presupposing that only two conceptual options exist: the specific Christian world-view or absolute, irrational chaos. It entirely dismisses, without argument or justification, dozens of non-theistic philosophical frameworks that account for logic, such as conceptualism, mathematical Platonism, or pragmatic evolutionary realism. By asserting without proof that non-theistic frameworks inherently fail, it takes the superiority of theism for granted.

>we do not have faith in faith.
We do trust that faith is substantive and that it thus matters. Stop being pedantic.

>The scriptures say that God has left man no excuse for his rebellion against Him (Romans 1)

Predictive power is the power that an agent has to actualize it's will, because free will exists, and we choose what to manifest. Thats why it's called pre-dict. Its realated to dictate, where the agent is dictating what will happen.
>>
>>18758419
>Its first premise quietly presupposes the very conclusion
It is anything but quiet, as I said the very purpose of the argument is to allege that presupposing the existence of God is necessary for every proposition whatsoever. If the argument did not presuppose it, it would be self-contradictory, but there is a difference between presupposing the conclusion and begging the question because the latter consists in contingency of the truth of the premise on the truth of the conclusion, which is not the case here.
>is entirely unproven and smuggles the conclusion in from the start.
This is merely false, as it is directly proven from the things themselves and from internal critique.
>This begs the question by presupposing that only two conceptual options exist: the specific Christian world-view or absolute, irrational chaos. It entirely dismisses, without argument or justification, dozens of non-theistic philosophical frameworks that account for logic, such as conceptualism, mathematical Platonism, or pragmatic evolutionary realism. By asserting without proof that non-theistic frameworks inherently fail, it takes the superiority of theism for granted.
We absolutely do not merely presuppose our own worldview or dismiss without argument the contrary, that is what our opponents do. Rather, we rhetorically assume the presuppositions of these opposing worldview, and show how they lead to absurdity. This is a strawman fallacy.
>We do trust that faith is substantive and that it thus matters. Stop being pedantic.
The object of our faith is not faith itself, which is what you suggest.
>You haven't shown how this demonstrates the soundness of the transcendental argument.
I don’t understand what you are confused about. This demonstrates that there are objective proofs of the existence of God, that rejection of God is irrational, and that all men possess an inescapable knowledge of God.

How do you go from "God is necessary for knowledge" to "the Bible is true" without merely presupposing it?
>>
>>18758446
What we are defending is the entire Christian worldview. It is a mistake to treat the ultimate presuppositions of the Christian worldview as though they were lesser propositions under a worldview. In reality a person’s ultimate presuppositions, which together form their worldview, either go together or not at all. The ultimate presuppositions of the Christian worldview are the articles of faith described in the Creed, and the ultimate authority upon which he builds his knowledge is the revelation of the Triune God in holy scripture.
>>
>>18758451

>>
>>18758453
Because of the impossibility of the contrary.
>>
>>18758461
How is the contrary impossible?
>>
>>18758462
It is because there is no other worldview which could provide the preconditions of intelligibility. To posit another scripture is to posit another worldview, which would be refuted in the very same way atheism is.
>>
>>18758469
What do you mean by preconditions of intelligibility and how does the biblical worldview exclusively provide those?
>>
>>18758475
That would be the principium, i.e. laws of logic, intelligible and reliable sense perception etc etc. Those things without which any kind of knowledge would be impossible.
>>
>>18758480
Ok but how is it impossible without that particular book?
>>
>>18758154
Every so-called proof of the existence of God is a proof of the existence of Satan as they are reminders of our original fall from grace. No man would seek to prove the existence of God, to himself or to others, if not because of the existence of the Devil.

Yes. This is what makes it a case of begging the question. premises 2 and 3 of TAG assume the truth of the conclusion.

TAG asserts that laws of logic require a "personal, immaterial foundation" and that only God fits this description. By defining the necessary foundation of logic as having the exact characteristics of God from the outset, the argument assumes what it is trying to prove rather than logically demonstrating it.

>If the argument did not presuppose it, it would be self-contradictory, but there is a difference between presupposing the conclusion and begging the question because the latter consists in contingency of the truth of the premise on the truth of the conclusion, which is not the case here.
This sounds like sophistry. "I have to assume my argument is right otherwise it is incoherent" doesn't make your argument right; it makes it circular.
>...and show how they lead to absurdity.
You haven't actually shown that.
>...which is what you suggest.
No it isn't. I am pointing out that valuing faith is itself to trust in the notion of faith.
>This demonstrates that there are objective proofs of the existence of God

Again, this is not correct because the truth of the premises is not contingent on the truth of the conclusion.

It is not a definition, but an allegation. This logic would make any argument circular, because you are saying that alleging the conclusion is circular.

In this case, the “demonstration” is based on the exegesis of scripture. You are so desperate to dismiss the transcendental argument that you’re getting lost in the clouds and losing sight of the mark.

The sun, moon, planets, stars were formed from gravitational attraction of atoms. The water was formed from chemical reactions of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. The plants evolved out of previously existing multicellular life about 500 million years ago.

Not only is there no god here, but it outright contradicts the biblical story in genesis according to which life is 6000 years old.

Goodbye horses, hello Pegasus.
I am opening the windows of heaven, and letting some chaos in. My purpose is to water the vines, while obeying the miracle of the rainbow, so as to not completely submerge the rocks forever with bad faith.

I guess I get why 'act like a brick-wall until people stop talking to you' developed as a strategy, but frankly I don't get why people set out onto the world to argue using it. You'd think they would know it does not pack much offensive power.

Retreating from reason altogether would be a brutal concession to make, which, naturally, intellectual (and vulgar) Christians do not want to do.

But that’s literally what happened here. I made arguments, I gave arguments, you said “nuh uh” and repeated yourself over and over. You chose to mock rather than engage the argument because you’re a bunch of incorrigible impudent miscreants who would’ve been publicly flogged in a just society.

Funnily enough, it never was a mandate in most (if any) Christian churches. The Americans came up with that as a medical practice from sheer neurosis. The Jews did not even psy-op them.

I explained this to the disingenuous atheist that was pretending to be Christian. We are not defending merely the existence of God (as though it could be separated from everything else), nor “a god” at all, but the entire Christian religion as a worldview.

I answered you point for point in places where you weren't simply repeating yourself and gave valid reasons as to why I found the TAG unconvincing, even as a Christian. People can go back and view our exchange.

For the most part you either repeated yourself, engaged in equivocation, or else you simply ignored what I was saying. You still haven't, for example, given a legitimate reason as to why we should assume the foundation of logic must be immaterial and personal, and why your conception of God alone fits that definition.

First of all, your image is missleading. King Saul was not happy about receiving 200 foreskins.

The text explicitly reveals his internal monologue: "For Saul thought, 'Let not my hand be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him."

Until you put in the effort to at least transmit the obvious message correctly, I don't know if I should waste my time providing any further explaination of עָרְלָה.

No, you literally didn’t. This >>18758558 is the best example of “acting like a brick wall” in the thread and Jesus said not to cast pearls before swine for this very reason.
>For the most part you either repeated yourself, engaged in equivocation, or else you simply ignored what I was saying.
This is called projection. You simply ignored everything I said before either repeating yourself or crying about it. You are acting in bad faith and I am not interested in speaking to you. It doesn’t need to be said, but this rhetorical strategy has no logical substance whatsoever.
>>18758692
No debate occurred here. No rebuttal was ever offered. I would say the atheists lost, but they would have to show up first.

It's become painfully obvious to me that you can't actually answer my point re the foundation, which is why you have resorted to churlishly mischaracterising our interaction.

What does the name Dinah mean to you, and why is there a large crowd of men cutting thier meat sticks?

Maybe it has something to do with rumpelstiltskin. Why did Disney make Milah the ex-wife? And why did they pronounce her name "moolah"?

The world may never know.
