True. 2+2 need not equal four. It could for instance equal 1.

0, 1, 2, 10, 11, 12, 20 ...
And all the same, if you are using different base systems, then you could not say both 2+2=4 and 2+2= 11 at the same time without equivocating.

Darfius chose not to answer my objections (I will not let Darfius just make up stories as it suits is evangelical purposes!). Instead, he chose to brush them as ...[text shortened]... that reconciles Darfius' previous statements about heaven with those he makes in this thread?
Originally posted by telerionOK, the evil/good concept. I don't believe there is some yin/yang requirement that says we can not have good without evil or the opposite.
