What if someone chooses a third option? You made up a 3rd option when given a binary choice.

If there is a third option I am happy to consider it with an open mind.

What happened in the entirely off topic link you just pasted however is that you declared there was only two options, and I suggested a third, which you did not consider with an open mind because you had already decided there was only two and thus were not interested in even entertaining the possibility of a third.

So if you are aware of a third option then by all means adumbrate it for me. If not then I do not think what I just said is in any way relevant to the link you just pasted.

In the interim you would do well to learn the difference between there actually being only two options... or someone disagreeing with you on your declaration by fiat that there are only two options.

I just had to chuckle because apparently it's only 2 choices when you're calling the shots....but the same rules don't apply when we put your back to the wall.

Again the difference has been lost on you. The difference is that I am willing to consider a third choice if you are willing to present one.

What YOU did however was declare there was only two, I gave you a third, but you ignored it saying that there is definitely only two.

I am not sure how to adumbrate the difference any better for you if it is now still lost on you.

Again: If you are aware of a third then I, unlike you, am very much open to considering it. What third option might you propose to the idea that either something exists... or it does not... and it cant be both? I am agog.

Why were you demanding a binary answer?

You are correct in that something either is, or isn't. The universe was either created, or it wasn't. But that's for the other thread--I won't hijack this one.

You already have.

The reason I suggested a binary answer is that I think there are only two answers. It exists, or it does not. You agree with this. So what your issue is I am not sure. However I never "demanded" a binary answer. Read the original post again. I said "Binary display of 0 or 1 would at least be a good start.".

The difference is however that I am willing to consider a third answer if you think there is one. The link you posted however was an example of you rejecting a third answer for no other reason then you want there to only be two.

Is the difference clear now or should I continue to explain it?

The issue is that you made up a 3rd answer that was a nonsensical answer.

Once some bright spark comes up with the idea of applying it to measuring the presence of God, there's millions to be made.
I've found something that could do the job. Experimental Life-Energy Field Meter. Orgone is "all around us", so this device would detect/measure god all the time. New stickers will need to be made though.

Well yea, if a theist designs it, yea, for they will tip any scale in their desperation to prove their fairy tale has any basis, and have yet to offer any evidence that will stand even the slightest bit of scrutiny.

Conclusion has been drawn, now the desperate search to find evidence that supports the conclusion. Fail
