[QUOTE="Funky_Llama"][QUOTE="jlh47"][QUOTE="DigitalExile"]How about the fact that I am here responding to your posts, on the spot? Where as you have nothing to suggest that God even exists.DarkSmokeNinja
umm i have the trees, the rocks, the ocean, mountains, the whole earth to prove that God is here. ps. and the entire universe.
How do those prove that God exist?
Because God created all of it, end of story...That's begging the question. Try again. ;)
You are the work of God.[QUOTE="SolidSnake35"][QUOTE="DigitalExile"]How about the fact that I am here responding to your posts, on the spot? Where as you have nothing to suggest that God even exists.jlh47
that was seriously a great comeback.
No it wasn't. It was begging the question.
i don't believe in anything, including all of reality and me, but as that dosn't get me very far i believe just in what i see and what matters to me if i believe in it or not
for example: i beleive new york exists as it efects the economy and that effects me but i ddo not believe that people live there as that dosn't effect me so as i have no proof of them being there and it has no effect on me there's no point me believing in it

Your whole belief system is based on a fallacious appeal to consequences. Whether believing in something serves a point is irrelevant to whether it actually exists.

Omg no rly?
Yup.It was made up by pie so as to get the hopes of the people high and when they discovered the truth they would only have pie to return to.I don't believe in God - one may exist, but it'll never be proved.
I don't believe in the TC either, for he is a lie! :evil:
[QUOTE="Serraph105"]what have you ever done to make me believe in you?I_pWnzz_YoU
He created this very topic.
he could also be the devil trying to turn me for all i know (go ahead prove me wrong) which would say to me god exists
[QUOTE="DigitalExile"]Belief, or to use another word "faith", is by definition applied to things that you have no empirical evidence of. Since I have absolute confidence that you're real, because you started this thread, I don't need to have faith in you. I know for a fact you're real.If you were in a position to only believe in ONE of us, who would it be and why? I know this seems silly, and it probably is, but it's a bit interesting too. Can ones faith in God be so overpowering that they believe in Him no matter what the other options are?
And, by (if you do) choosing me, what does that make God/where does that leave Him?
nocoolnamejim
Yep.
It is certain, beyond reasonable doubt that 'you' exist.
[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"]I wouldn't be able to choose. How do I know you're not some elaborate, AI generated script posting on a forum on the internetz?nocoolnamejimActually, this is a great point. I withdraw my earlier post.
Oh noez.
Why not attribute the term 'you' to the AI instead. It may not be human but it still exists.
God's existance has been proven through Biblical accounts and prophecies. Philosophers, to, have proven that one almighty being must exist. It's only science that fails to comprehend. mysterylobster
That's because science seeks to answer what is falsifiable. It has nothing to do with a "failure to comprehend".

Nah, I already went over that. It is "I think therefore I exist" not "You are thought of, therefore you exist". AIs do not exist, they are of an existance.[QUOTE="I_pWnzz_YoU"][QUOTE="Serraph105"]what have you ever done to make me believe in you?Serraph105

I don't get what you're trying to say, the AI still exists, even if it is not human.MetalGear_NintyThe AI itself does not exist. The AI is nothing more than an extension of another existence. It, in itself, does not have an existence.

Yes it does. Of course it does. A cancer mutates from healthy cells, but the cancer in and of itsefl still exists.

The AI is made up of hypothetical algorithims thought up by an external actor. Cancer and AIs are two entirely seperate things.

Thats what she said....I later came to find that she didn't mean it though :cry:

Your mind is not tangible, you can't physically see it or manipulate it, would you dare say that your mind does not exist?
Your mind is not tangible, you can't physically see it or manipulate it, would you dare say that your mind does not exist? MetalGear_NintyCan you prove that we are more than the chemical reactions inside our brains? Do you have tangible evidence of a soul? We can touch a body, we can touch a brain, we can touch a person. We know they exist. There is nothing tangible about an AI. There is nothing stand alone about an AI.

Erm, I am thinking, that is evidence of my mind right there.
There is something tangible about an AI, and that is its effects -- this conversation started with the assumption that the AI created the OP, therefore the AI exists.
NOTE: You've got this in reverse -- How do you know you can touch a person, it may be just your senses just fooling you, however we know with certainty that our individual minds exist.

They are interpretations of empirical phenomenon. There is nothing empirical about the mind. It is as simple as that.

Just because something isn't universally observable does not mean it does not exist. Even if the mind is a result of chemical reactions, then the result is the mind. I think, therefore I have a mind. The mind exists and that is undisputable.
Also, it was you who refuted my argument that the AI existed after I said it could have written the OP. Your tangibility argument is futile -- we cannot see logic, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist, we cannot see time, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Just because you can't observe things in a lab does not mean it doesn't exist. Your sense could be fooling you, you can't observe something beyond the brain, thereby going by your very same logic, nothing exists at all.

And now we all have to go the hypercube, someone divided by 0.
Just because something isn't universally observable does not mean it does not exist. Even if the mind is a result of chemical reactions, then the result is the mind. I think, therefore I have a mind. The mind exists in that is undisputable.MetalGear_NintyWrong. You have to prove tangible evidence to prove that something exists or it is nothing more than conjecture. Once again, show me a picture of a mind. Or better yet, pull your mind out a cadaver, lay it on the table, disect it, and show it to me.
Calling something futile is not a valid rebuke. Logic is nothing more than an invention of humans in order to structure knowledge.

Your tangibility argument is futile -- we cannot see logic, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist, we cannot see time, that does mean it doesn't exist.
And just because you cannot prove it doesn't exist doesn't mean it exists. You're commiting a grave fallacy here; argumentum ad ignorantiam. You're using conjecture and hypotheticals. Prove that my senses are fooling me.Just because you can't observe things in a lab does not mean it doesn't exist. Your sense could be fooling, you can't observe something beyond the brain, thereby going by your very same logic, nothing exists at all.

No. It is called logic. I think, therefore my mind exists. That is an absolute fact. By definition the mind exists, to the dispute the existence of mind is to dispute that you think.[QUOTE="MetalGearNinty"], it was you who refuted my argument that the AI existed after I said it could have written the OP.

Logic is nothing more than an invention of humans in order to structure knowledge. There is nothing real about it. A=B, B=C, therefore A=C. That logic exists. You can't refute that, even if it is constructed by the human mind, that does not invalidate its existence.

No, because from the start you've been arguing that to prove something you need empirical evidence, and thus complete evidence. But complete evidence does not exist, as you cannot empirically prove that your sense are true, therefore you can't absolutely prove anything, thereby, going by your logic of no empirical evidence, nothing exists at all.

You're working under the assumption that A really is A, B really is B, and C really is C. What you just proposed may be a valid argument, but that does not necessarily mean that it is sound.A=B, B=C, therefore A=C. That logic exists. You can't refute that, even if it is constructed by the human mind, that does not invalidate its existence.
You're working under the assumption that somehow my senses are fooling me. Unless you can prove that my senses are fooling me then my points stand.
