Majesty of Reason | Rebutting "REBUTTING an atheistic documentary on the Kalam" by @TheCounselofTrent @MajestyofReason | Uploaded February 2022 | Updated October 2024, 14 minutes ago.
@PhilHalper1 recently made a documentary criticizing the Kalam cosmological argument. Trent Horn (@TheCounselofTrent) claims to have 'REBUTTED' the documentary. I claim he has done no such thing.

NOTE: At 2:45:55, I say that an infinite intensive magnitude [e.g., infinite temperature or pressure] is an actual infinite despite not being a collection of definite and discrete elements whose cardinality is aleph-null [or, more technically and precisely, any transfinite cardinal number]. However, earlier in the video I had defined actual infinite as just such a collection. So, this note is a clarification that resolves this apparent conflict, and I apologize for the unclarity in this regard. A clarification could come in one of two ways, and I'm fine with either: first, we could say that an actual infinite is more precisely defined disjunctively as either infinite *number* of things [and so a collection of definite and discrete elements etc.] OR an infinite *quantity*. Second, if we instead leave the definition of 'actual infinite' unchanged, we could modify my claim that 'an infinite intensive magnitude is an actual infinite' to the claim that 'an infinite intensive magnitude is still a concretely realized infinity, and it, too, will possess (at least many of) the problematic aspects of infinity that people like Craig adduce.' Note that nothing of substance in my point in the video would be lost on either clarification, and so my original point stands.
