God's judgement and Determinism

quote:

---

Your determinism idea will only work if you assume that God analyzes every machine cycle on a nano-second-by-nanosecond basis and if you assume that all bugs go to the "darkest pits of hell".

Besides, these two things are exactly those that are not necessary in a deterministic system. The only conditions are the laws and the initial state of the universe.Edited by Arachide, : No reason given.

Phew, that's what i've been trying to explain Ringo. Aside the issue IF we live in a deterministic system that would make sense indeed.Can you explain why you think there is no way to demonstrate (genetic) determinism?Edited by Arachide, : No reason given.

These are the basics of a proposition. I can make it more complex if you want, but i doubt if that will work if you can't even agree the basics.if "A" = true THEN "B" = falseWhere "A" is the theory of determinism and "B" is the biblical concept of being judged by god.

You're using one interpretation of scripture (bad guys go to hell)

What's wrong with using one interpretation of scripture? It can be used in a proposition to prove that interpretation either true or false.

I was hoping this thread would be more than just schoolboys doing their Logic 101 exercises.

If it's not logic you use to understand things, i'm highly interested in what else.

you haven't demonstrated that 'A' = true

That's called an assumption.

or that 'A' and 'B' are mutually exclusive.

I think it is demonstrated, but well...let's call that a difference of opinion or a difference of interpretation. I think comes down on the last one.
