    Material contingency is empirical evidence of necessary being. Is absolutely everything not enough evidence for you ?

    Of course, I will stand corrected if material stasis is ever observed.

    Circular reasoning. This is not evidence.

    And your assertions are dismissed since you are unable to support them.

    That's a good way to put it. I don't have many 'sticking points', but the few I contend with, at any given time, I bring here to test.
    This forum affords me opportunities to iterate and reiterate while others test the ideas. I glean insights from both. Sometimes PF members find breaches in logic, factual errors and other faults in the ideas I'm testing ( By testing, I mean trying to disprove.) Sometimes I learn from the variety of iterations I respond with. That is to say that, if they don't disprove an idea, I simply reiterate the idea and let them take another shot at it from that point of view. If one can look past the ad hominin attacks and the disingenuous trolls, this forum can be a very good tool for the testing of ideas.
