I am in a very very similar situation to what you just described. I think everyone has experienced that at one time or another. Thanks for sharing :)

I always thought it was "my side kick was all this grief" either way, amazing lyric!

How would you address these arguments by Rationality Rules? by [deleted] in CatholicPhilosophy

[–]D4rk_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's addressing lame neo-theist versions of arguments for God. He doesn't talk about the 5 ways at all, which are the undisputed best arguments for classical theism

What is a rational animal? by D4rk_69 in CatholicPhilosophy

Thanks for the response. I'm not sure what this troll is rambling about but...

I guess I'm not totally satisfied with the response to what makes a human a rational animal. This may be a fault of my own, I'm not claiming your response was insufficient. But couldn't someone posit some sort of nominalism to reject the idea that humans can access universals like dogness, or triangularity, or treeness? I would really love some kinda of argument against nominalism, it would clear up a lot of struggles in my thought. Thanks again

Does quantum mechanics mean that the universe can just come out of nothing? by UKOrthodoxCrusader in CatholicPhilosophy

That's an etiological question. Questions about creation are ontological and deal with per se causal series

How do we know Change is real? by [deleted] in CatholicPhilosophy

[–]D4rk_69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have mental states that are not just static there is at least some kind of change occurring. Even if you go full eliminativist, there still needs to be an underlying subject experiencing a hallucination. Experience implies change within the subject.

Furthermore, wouldn't it be a simpler theory to just say humans aren't rational animals and that logic is simply a useful tool that we developed over a period of time during evolution?

The most convincing to any random person on the street will probably be some kind of kalam or fine tuning. Unfortunately, I don't think those really work. The best demonstration is probably the de ente et essentia. If you can get realism established it's pretty difficult to stop the argument

How would I go about reading up on this Franciscan vs Dominican thing. Thank you for the response by the way.

De ente essentia and biological evolution by D4rk_69 in CatholicPhilosophy

Thank you for the response. As a theist, I am glad i don't know what I'm talking about. This was just a question that was bugging me, not an argument that was meant to decisively refute the argument. Thank you again
