God Look-a-Likey

If there is a God I imagine he looks and sounds alot like this ...

Those curious numbers and letters in the backgrounds spell out the meaning of life - if you can decode them.

Never listened to much Neil Young, but my jaw was on the floor throughout his version of 'A Day in the Life'... immediately after watching it (on Virgin's 'catch up' service), I rewound it and summoned assorted family members before watching it again. Priceless.

I still say Brian Wilson is God though. Have you seen the bit from that tour documentary where Neil Young's trying to learn the organ part to 'Good Vibrations' in time for a show?

He kinda looks like David Carridine there. Guess that means "god" is dead!

Slightly off-topic, but I discovered Perez Hilton tackling the problem of evil on Twitter. I hope this is the right place to share this.

I thought Clapton was God.

Thanks for the Perez Hilton tweet...I'd never heard of him till now.

What was interesting about McCartney's appearance with Young, I thought, was how awkward Macca looked. Like someone's embarrassing Dad ambled on to stage for an arm waving sing-along. He obviously needs a bass or other prop to feel comfortable.

Stephen - I hadn't seen the Macca guest spot, just the Glastonbury performance. Just found it on YouTube, though, so thanks.

Yeah, poor old Macca - doesn't know what to do with himself does he? But he's in a no-win situation really without an instrument to play - he can't just sit there like a lemon while Neil rocks out, but nor can he do anything to take the audience's attention away from the star attraction. They should have given him a stylophone, or maybe a little flag to wave. Or he could have gone crowd-surfing I suppose.

Just clicked on that Perez Hilton link, having never looked at Twitter before, and I feel like a 12th century monk who's just woken up in an MTV editing suite looking at a bank of TV screens. I can see a lot of @s and oxoxs floating around but nothing I can interpret. God I feel old.

Neil Young is not a bad choice, but if there was a god, s/he spoke through Bob Dylan.

I'm just saying.

EVIDENCE, MIRACLES AND THE EXISTENCE OF JESUS

(Published in Faith and Philosophy 2011. Volume 28, Issue 2, April 2011. Stephen Law. Pages 129-151) EVIDENCE, MIRACLES AND THE EXISTENCE OF JESUS Stephen Law Abstract The vast majority of Biblical historians believe there is evidence sufficient to place Jesus’ existence beyond reasonable doubt. Many believe the New Testament documents alone suffice firmly to establish Jesus as an actual, historical figure. I question these views. In particular, I argue (i) that the three most popular criteria by which various non-miraculous New Testament claims made about Jesus are supposedly corroborated are not sufficient, either singly or jointly, to place his existence beyond reasonable doubt, and (ii) that a prima facie plausible principle concerning how evidence should be assessed – a principle I call the contamination principle – entails that, given the large proportion of uncorroborated miracle claims made about Jesus in the New Testament documents, we should, in the absence of indepen...

The Evil God Challenge and the "classical" theist's response

On another blog, FideCogitActio, some theists of a "classical" stripe (that's to say, like Brian Davies, Edward Feser) are criticisng the Evil God Challenge (or I suppose, trying to show how it can be met, or sidestepped). The main post includes this: In book I, chapter 39 , Aquinas argues that “there cannot be evil in God” (in Deo non potest esse malum). Atheists like Law must face the fact that, if the words are to retain any sense, “God” simply cannot be “evil”. As my comments in the thread at Feser’s blog aimed to show, despite how much he mocks “the privation theory of evil,” Law himself cannot escape its logic: his entire argument requires that the world ought to appear less evil if it is to be taken as evidence of a good God. Even though he spurns the idea that evil is a privation of good, his account of an evil world is parasitic on a good ideal; this is no surprise, though, since all evil is parasitic on good ( SCG I, 11 ). Based on the conclusions of se...

Sye show continues

I was sent a link to this , for those interested in the never ending saga of Sye TenBruggencate and his "proof" of the existence of God. Hit "sinner ministries' proof of the existence of god" link below or on side bar for 30+ earlier posts on this topic that I wrote during an extended interchange with him last summer (check the literally many hundreds of comments attached to these posts if you really want to get into how Sye thinks and argues). Sye's amazing intial "proof" is available here . PS. For those interested, my own "presuppositional" proof, parodying Sye's proof by his principle "the impossibility of the contrary" (which turns out to be the key to Sye's proof) is: My claim: Sye's mind is addled and his thinking unreliable because he was hit on the head by a rock. Prove this is false, Sye. Try to, and I will say - "But your "proof" presupposes your mind is not addled and you can recognise a pr...
