So, humans looked at the universe and speculated that it must have been created. And they asked themselves what this creator must be like. And they said, "it must be like us". Sorted.

Though we may anthropomorphasize" at times incorrectly - BASICALLY we are on the right track because we ALONE are made in the image of our Creator and according to the likeness of our Creator.
So, we are right about being made in the image of our creator being because... we ARE made in the image of our creator being! Circular logic much?

No, it does not. Speak for yourself if that is your perspective on your own life.
What value is there found in nothing? There is nothing and in nothing there is nothing to compare anything too, for there is no thing. There is no right or wrong, up or down, hotter or colder, heavier or lighter, no value or even the lack there of.

Okay FMF.

Please show us that logic and reasoning lead to truth.
But do so without using any circular reasoning.

Can your reasons for explaining how reasoning leads to truth be done WITHOUT some circularity?

Demonstrate it then, if you without circularity, can prove rationally that reasoning leads to discovering truth.

You're a clever bloak of an atheist. It should be a piece of cake for you.

Do you actually believe that your life has more meaning than mine because you believe in everlasting life while I do not?
That is your opinion it is not what I said.

Of course there is right and wrong, up and down, hotter and colder, heavier and lighter. What are you going on about? Of course there is "value" in life.

FMF complains of the faith speaking Christians as a victim of circular logic.

Fair enough.
Expect now in an upcoming post FMF is going to demonstrate how his rationale reasoning leads to truth without using any circular reasoning.

This should be very interesting. Now he's a smart guy, so stay tuned.

You are blowing off your own circular logic. For all intents and purposes, you declared that we must be right about being made in the image of our creator being because we ARE made in the image of our creator being.

So you say. But our conversation is there for people to see for themselves. So, then, why not have a go at your humans v cockroaches thing again. make it really clear what you mean.

I have said ity before here. Doing science depends on a presupposed philsophy which itself cannot be proved by any scientific method.

It must ASSUME that up front - " Our reasoning will lead to truth. "

But what would I say as an alternative to a way of arriving at truth?
Let me think about how to answer.

In the meantime FMF is in the iminent by and by going to demonstrate to us that the process of human reasoning leads to truth without utilizing any circular reasoning.

Get ready. I am out here on a limb now.
Let's see if he can saw me off to fall on the ground.

Don't run away from it.

I have given you an example of you slipping a bit of circular reasoning into the midst of some of your Gish gallop. Now, it's your turn to give me an example of my circular logic - if you have one.

Give me an example of where I have used circular logic to express any of my perspectives.

I would say that when it comes to ultimate realities circularity cannot be avoided.

And that the Bible tells us - "Because out from Him and through Him and to Him are all things." (Romans 11:36)

Out from Him - all things.
To Him - all things.
Through Him - all things.

God says He is the beginning and the end, the First and the Last, the Alpha and the Omega.

I think some circularity with ultimate reality exists.
God is the ground of all being.

Faith and the response of His FAITHFULNESS is the central key to knowing the most vital truths.

It is a living Person.
Even the faith must mysterious come from Him.

" . . . the and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live in faith, the faith OF the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself up for me." (See Gal. 2:20)

These are deep musings.
Anyway, man is made in the image of God, howevefr interesting insects of all
kinds also created are.

That cockroaches seem more likely to survive shows something WRONG has gone with creation and man's authority over it, which God ordained for him in the beginning.

Something has gone wrong and needs to be rectified.
God's salvation is the only effective true rectification.
Science can help some but tends to be shooting ourselves in the foot somehow.
