VazScep wrote:For modern philosophers putting out arguments about Divine Hiddenness or the Beginning of the Universe, God is an incredibly simple idea. He has to be simple, because he has to be fully specifiable in one or two premises of a trivial argument of five or so lines. He is some G which appears in the conclusion as "G exists" or "G does not exist".

Philosophers often struggle with variables.


I don't think I'm trying to make it much less simple.

I made a graph (undirected) of this discussion; it does not have a marker, "You are here", but does seem to have something like a main route back and forth along its, er, spine, and numbers that don't mean anything, er, in context. I think everybody should just pick a number and say, "this is where you can find me". It's connected, so we can all find each other.
