Re: HSC 2014 4U Marathon

If by arab world you mean the arab dictators leading the arab world then sure You have absolutely no evidence to show that the general arab population does not care about the Palestinians

Very good, now please look at the previous two premises that give the claim 'the universe is contingent' value: 1 - The Universe is temporally originated 2 - Whatever is temporally originated is a possible existent (contingent), that is, it can be conceived to exist, or not exist. 3 -...

Since when have the Arab peoples gotten a government that they like? Its like you think the majority of Egyptians actually like Sisi who has played a role in the oppression of Palestinians, whereas Morsi, while he was in Presidency did help the Palestinians and periodically opened the borders...

I'm happy for you, its a shame this isn't the argument from contingency, further proof you did not read my post My claim is that the universe is contingent due to its temporality Ok so here is what is happening right now You are claiming that my argument is that the universe is contingent...

Well I think (a) is a pretty hefty assumption, although this is the case with some ancient philosophers, to bring it to a 'most' I do not think is quite coherent, especially as we enter an age of modernism and post-modernism where down is up and God knows what else From a cosmological...

That is the very purpose of the argument, and you respond by saying 'well, show me why its required' This has been elaborated inside the entire article, on premise 5, why we call this particularizing agent God. This is the exact same critique that Richard Dawkins gave to the Kalam...

And for some reason the atheist thinks they have the upper hand when that has never been the case since pre-eternity bar perhaps the time of Bertrand Russel and the rise of Verificationist philosophy (which has remnants foolishly used today) The vast majority of philosophers and scientists...

What a pitiful response This is evidence that you have not comprehended the argument. The only reason why the universe needs a particularizing agent is because it is contingent, i.e. possible existent. The universe needs a particularizing agent, but if this agent was contingent then we would...

Re: HSC 2014 4U Marathon - Advanced Level Here is my attempt (note more technical and less elegant) \\ $Note that the given expression can be simplified into the form$ \\ \ \binom{2m}{n} - 2^n\binom{m}{n} > 0 \\ \\ $This translates the problem into:$ \\ \\ $Prove that the co-efficient of$ \...

Re: HSC 2014 4U Marathon - Advanced Level I doubt it would be, substitutions in inequalities is very rarely ask as far as I have experienced

Oh wow nice! Thank you for your insights and suggestions to amend it, I'll try to experiment with more simple functions

Hello all, I decided to investigate a function that I thought of: f(n) = \begin{cases}$Sum of digits$ \ \ $if$ \ n \ $is prime$ \\ $Sum of prime factors$ \ \ $if$ \ n \ $is composite$ \end{cases} i.e. n=14 14 -> 9 -> 6 -> 5 Then I decided to iterate f(n), and as expected, if...

Here is an article I wrote on an older argument for the existence of God: http://mutakallim.com/2014/07/13/argument-from-particularisation-for-the-existence-of-god/ --------------------------------------------- Argument from Particularisation for the Existence of God بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ...

Germany to win 3 - 1, Muller with the Golden Boot and Neuer for the Golden Glove

Poor Neuer

Re: HSC 2014 4U Marathon - Advanced Level Don't forget to divide by half! But yes that was my method as well

Re: HSC 2014 4U Marathon - Advanced Level Yes I did for 4U I meant triangle PAB, not sure why I wrote DPC! Basically, the angle PAB = 90 - alpha, when you do cosine rule, it becomes a sin(alpha) Yes my bad that is supposed to be angle DAP
