Debunking the TAG Argument for God - a compilation

I've noticed the "Transcendental" Argument for God (TAG) has been growing in popularity recently. For this reason I've compiled 4 separate responses into a single video. Here are a few variations of TAG. Version 1: There are some objective logical absolutes. We can have concepts of these logical absolutes. These logical absolutes are not physical (you can't find them within the natural world). These logical absolutes are therefore conceptual. Concepts require a mind. Since the logical absolutes are true everywhere they must exist within an infinite mind. That mind is God. God exists. Version 2: Logic is rational, but atheism presupposes that everything comes from material sources. Logic isn't material, so atheism lacks any objective source for logic. Without an objective source for logic, atheism cannot employ logic. Therefore atheism is self refuting. Since atheism is refuted, theism must be true. God exists. The video points out some of the main problems with different versions of TAG. All versions equivocate between the consistent behavior of nature (facts of reality), and the language that humans have developed to describe it (laws of logic). The language of logic simply represents and points to what exists objectively, in the same way a map represents a real location in space without actually being a location itself. TAG proponents are essentially trying to claim that the symbolic representation of reality (logical statements made with language, math, etc) are "things" that exist in their own right and must be accounted for, but this is simply false. All that actually exists is matter, energy, and forces that interact in consistent ways. Human logic is merely a verbal DESCRIPTION of what nature is doing, and does not need to exist for nature to behave the way it behaves. TAG can be a very convoluted argument, and it contains several other fallacies. If you'd like to see a comprehensive written refutation, check out this page: http://wiki.ironchariots.org/index.ph... And here is a specific response to Matt Slick's version of TAG: http://godlessons.com/2009/11/02/matt...
