After trying to plod through his logic, amkerman's argument appears to reduce to this:God is consciousness.
Consciousness exists.
Therefore God exists.
Completely correct. That's probably why he refuses to "dumb it down". Once reduced to its basics, it becomes even more obvious how dumb this argument is.
Just because an argument is simple doesn't make it wrong or "dumb". That formulation is completely valid.
And there you have it, folks.
What about this, amkerman?If God exists, he is a square circle.
A square circle cannot exist.
Therefore, God does not exist.
That's also "completely valid", correct? Do you see any other problems with it, though?
Yes there are problems w it. 1 is an impossibility. If square circles do not exist then "if God exists, he is a square circle" is an impossibility, and the argument fails.
