"while at the same time denying that words have meaning"

Robin, I think we should quit here. There are already problems.

1. "while at the same time denying that words have meaning". I did not make any such statement even if you find it convenient to say it.

2. "God is not actually in this world (ie, is in the supernatural)". There is nothing in your foundation of knowledge than can tell you any more about God than you can get from a rat's behind. You have no basis for such a statement on God since you cannot say whether God is in it, out of it or both. Your statement is patently false.

3. "if they have no meaning, then your comments have no meaning." This proposition was used to conclude something as if this proposition was mine. It isn't. So why use it?

4. "yes, mostly those who 'cannot understand' the foundations of knowledge are interested in protecting that which rests on faith....". I have no idea what faith has to do with anything that was said.

5. "all of these are not primaries, ie, they depend on the prior formation of many other concepts". If you cannot handle the meaning of a simple word like "average", and have to shove God out of this world to get anywhere, what hope is there for your "foundations of knowledge" to help address anything? Had you been able to make progress with that, we could have addressed randomness and God.
