I imagine you simply aren't well acquainted with the Secular Outpost given that it has been praised for its fairness from the likes of Ed Feser and Victor Reppert, and it has been criticized for being too fair to theists by the likes of John Loftus. <br /><br />Can you give examples of Jeff, Eric, Keith or Jason being unfair to theists? In my experience, they are perfectly fair, and the site currently has a comment moderation policy specifically to prevent atheists from hijacking threads and abusing theists such as Joe.

But I would never expect any more from someone from the Secular Web.<br /><br />The terms "natural phenomena" "contingent" and "temporal" are all readily understood by anyone who spends any time dealing with the great issues. He is attempting to belittle you by feigning that he is somehow the one with superior knowledge instructing one with lesser knowledge. But it doesn't work because if he really thought your arguments were as ill-informed as he claims, he wouldn't spend most of his response repeating over and over which of the arguments are unclear without giving details. He has to cycle around it over and over hoping people get tired of reading before they get to the details. Then, in the big finale, he claims that you haven't defined certain words with perfectly understandable meanings. <br /><br />Let me help, "Natural phenomena" means what the senses or the mind notice that occur in the natural universe. "Contingent" means not necessary. "Temporal" means in time.<br /><br />Perhaps he needs to spend some time with a dictionary and less time beating around the bush.BKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01967809861892681780noreply@blogger.com
