I hope you ar...Hello Dawson from Robert Bumbalough<br /><br />I hope you are well and enjoying your new life an career in Thailand. <br /><br />Your second to last paragraph stated:<br /><br />"Meanwhile, while I have challenged Bolt to take a stand on whether or not Hume’s argument for inductive skepticism is, on his view, sound, and even to reproduce Hume’s argument since he seems to think it’s so important, Bolt remains silent on these points, showing essentially no appreciation for questioning the soundness of an argument whose conclusion is supposed to be so secure. If Bolt believes that Hume’s conclusion is sound, and his “problem of induction” needs to be addressed on Hume’s terms, why does he make no effort to defend it?"<br /><br />This reminds me of a little discussed problem for those holding Bolt's positions. If induction is invalid, then how could God know it was God prior to any alleged first act of creation. Since there was nothing upon which it could exercise its powers, and no information from which it could inductively extrapolate any deductive or axiomatic first principles, then it there is not any way to understand how God, if it were the case that it could possibly exist, could know it was God or that its knowledge and powers were unlimited. If God's alleged omniscient knowledge cannot include knowing it is God or that its knowledge is unlimited, then it cannot be omniscient and consequently cannot be God. the presuppers undermine their own case for divinity when they attack induction. What thinks you? Best and Good, Regards to the family.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03469718358131331499noreply@blogger.com
