So... you believe the logic within this argument is based upon empirical provable facts thus making it an objective logical argument?RickD wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 4:07 pmBut it still does not make the argument subjective.Kenny wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 4:05 pmI never suggested it did. I’m saying there are people who use this argument to point to their specific religion, and the reason they are able to do this while still remaining logical and reasonable is because the logic within argument itself is based on assumptions, interpretations, and beliefs; not empirical provable facts; thus the link I provided.RickD wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 3:11 pmNo Kenny, you're not getting it. The argument itself doesn't talk about a God of any specific religion. Neither the premises nor the conclusion of the argument specify a God of any religion.Kenny wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 1:50 pmI’m saying this logical argument is subjective because different people will interpret it different ways each person using their logic and their reason to come to different conclusions.RickD wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 1:23 pm
You literally just did! Look at what you wrote. You said that Three guys looking at the unmoved mover argument each think the argument points to their God, or another God, which you think makes the argument subjective.
But since the unmoved mover argument does not argue for nor point to a specific God, then the argument is not subjective. Someone who thinks the argument says something that it doesn't say, may erroneously think it's subjective. But it isn't.
Assuming all 3 guys incorrectly interpreted the argument, they still used logic and reason within the argument to reach their various conclusions. This was accomplished because the logic and reason within the argument is based upon personal opinions, assumptions, interpretations, and beliefs (subjective) rather than empirical, measurable facts (objective)
