Godless Engineer | Dr. Richard Carrier vs Dr. Andrew Loke | Kalam Cosmological Argument Failure @godlessengineer | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
Tonight, Dr. Richard Carrier and I will discuss a recent livestream by @CapturingChristianity and Dr. Andrew Loke, in which they discuss Carrier's responses to Andrew Loke. Loke claims that Carrier fails to respond to his argument and makes some errors in his analysis. We will discuss Dr. Loke's argument for the necessity of the Causal principle, which is the first premise of the Kalam Cosmological argument. Next is Loke's issue with Nothing in the absolute sense. He seems to totally misunderstand Carrier's point. Next, we will cover the causal principle and explain why the first premise of the Kalam argument fails. Finally, Loke's significant complaint is that Carrier misunderstands the idea of contingency.
