Okay, cool. Then, I would submit that, when we talk about *God* in the theistic sense, being a divine being whose will and nature we need a divine revelation to understand, we are necessary talking about something unfalsifiable. We are necessarily talking about something that is so far outside...

Do I think rocks came after stars? I dont know what that has to do with the human intellect. To your point about numbers, that's what I'm asking you. Do you think that numbers are real things that exist in some kind of immaterial plane? Based on what you said so far, I'm going to guess not...

Well, I dont think anybody would say that rocks are the origins of intellect but, what you said is that intellectual constructs are *descriptive* and that they describe the world. You can say for ceartain that you only have one wife but if you didn't have any senses you wouldn't know that. At...

Right, but I'm talking about our concepts. The *concept* "more than one" doesn't exist in the world, it's an intellectual construct that we devise. The *concept* of multiplicity doesn't exist in the world, do you agree with that?

Right but you're talking about an intellectual construct. That description of the concept of multiplicity doesn't exist where there are no beings who can think conceptually. That is, unless you're arguing platonic forms where the sort of "master concept" exists in heaven by which all of our...

So, numbers and logoc are intellectual constructs, theyre *con*cptual not *per*ceptual, yes. But our concepts are derived from that which we apprehend in the world, IE: I have two sticks, you have three sticks, hence together we have five sticks. They don't come from a mystical realm with...

Right but I'm not talking about individuals following reccomendations from their doctors, I'm talking about entire populations following government mandates that disrupt the normal course of their lives. Medically and scientifically it's a fact that if everybody stayed home as much as...

Oh dear

Do you acknowledge that we can only perceive things throguh our senses? Thanks for the welcome.

Yeah, mask wearing is important amd we should all do the best we can to follow the CDC reccomendations, but there's also the question of what an ordinary person can be reasonably expected to do and for how long.

Hold on. As a Christian you believe that you have a divine revelation. Would God have revealed to us anything that we could normally think by our selves? No. It would be a waste of time. A divine revelation is necessarily something outside our normal range of understanding. We don't need a...

Well, any time you're talking about the supernatural you're necessarily talking about something we can't investigate. So no, there is no way to falsify God.
