Atheist Armin Navabi tackles Matt Slick's version of the transcendental argument for God (TAG) in chapter 14 of his book, "Why There Is No God." TAG is an attempt to demonstrate the existence of God using the Laws of Logic. These laws would include the Law of Identity, the Law of Non-Contradiction, and the Law of Excluded Middle. Armin believes that while the argument is structurally sound, it commits the fallacy of equivocation. He states, "The phenomena these laws refer to would continue to exist regardless of whether a deity or anyone else thought about them... Minds are necessary only to describe that phenomenon, not to make it true." Is TAG a good argument, or should it be discarded as a failed attempt to demonstrate that God exists?

You're about to see the Transcendental Argument for God in action when atheism and Christianity collide. In this compelling episode of the Worldview Legacy podcast, Joel Settecase steps into the hot seat on the "Real Atheology, a Philosophy of Religion Podcast," hosted by Benjamin Blake Speed Watkins. The conversation centers around one of the most profound questions in moral philosophy: Does Objective Morality Require God? Join Joel and Ben as they engage in a rigorous and respectful dialogue, exploring their contrasting views on the nature of morality and meta-ethics. Ben presents his case for ethical non-naturalism, arguing that objective moral values can exist independently of God. Joel counters by grounding moral truths in the very nature of God, asserting that without a divine being, objective morality lacks a coherent foundation. Key Topics Covered: The distinction between moral values and moral obligations. Ethical non-naturalism vs. theistic moral realism. The relationship between general and special revelation in understanding morality. The coherence (or incoherence) of abstract moral propositions without a divine mind. Joel's challenge to atheism and the implications of God's necessary existence for morality and knowledge. The episode concludes with a thought-provoking challenge from Joel, inviting listeners to consider the Christian worldview and its robust answers to the moral questions that shape our lives.

What Is the Transcendental Argument for God?The Transcendental Argument for God (TAG) was first developed by Cornelius Van Til, the godfather of Presuppositional Apologetics. Since Van Til first articulated it, it has been picked up and worked on by subsequent theologians and apologists.  Today you're going to hear from Joel Settecase, Kevin Blessum, Brian Kurkjian and Rob Barker. Joel is the President of The Think Institute (TTI) and host of the Worldview Legacy Podcast. Kevin is a TTI board member. Brian is developing a really cool resource for TTI, and Rob Barker helps run the ThinkSquad community. Each of them is a dad. Each of them is seeking to disciple his family in the Christian faith. And these are exactly the four guys you want to hear from, if you want to know more about TAG and how to use it to respond to the toughest challenges to Christianity today. Specifically, you're going to learn: • Why logic presupposes God—AND why “not logic” also presupposes God!  • Why logic cannot merely be something humans evolved with. • What the Transcendental Argument is and how to use it to defend your faith.  ---- Related Resources: • Article: What Is TAG, the Transcendental Argument for God?

In this final episode of a three part series on John McDowell's Mind and World, I take a look at McDowell's Transcendental Argument. I feel his transcendental argument comes up a bit short in making McDowell's case and neither does it seem to hold the same gravitas as other transcendental arguments like Kant's. Basically, the conclusions sound a lot like the premises. But, McDowell makes another interesting claim namely that there is nothing unnatural about our role as conceptualizers and judgement-makers in carving out the epistemic content of our worldviews. Our normative nature is, well, natural. Natural to us anyway. And, if we acknowledge this, then we see that there is not some divorce or separation of us from the world when we apply concepts to our perception of the world. Our way of seeing is no less natural than a cat's way of seeing. It's just unique to us. And, to fill out how we might understand how the rational and social can be fully natural, we need to look at Aristotle's ethical theory. Which we will. In the episode.

The Transcendental Argument for the Existence of God (TAG) is the argument that attempts to prove the existence of God by arguing that logic, morals, and science ultimately presuppose a supreme being and that God must therefore be the source of logic and morals. A version was formulated by Immanuel Kant in his 1763 work The Only Possible Argument in Support of a Demonstration of the Existence of God, and most contemporary formulations of the transcendental argument have been developed within the framework of Christian presuppositional apologetics.

Sermons – Covenant Grace Baptist Church

Introduction: Today we want to move on from traditional arguments for God, the ontological, the cosmological and the teleological to some new arguments advanced for the existence of God. Today we want to look at what is known as the transcendental argument for God. This is an argument implemented by Cornelius Van Til, perfected by Greg Bahnsen and is now widely used by Presuppositionalists, this is a particular brand of Reformed apologists. The transcendental argument as a type of argument was first used and named by Immanuel Kant. He proposed the transcendental argument to demonstrate contrary to the scepticism of David Hume that things are known by sense alone, and contrary to Liebniz that things are known by reason alone, that things are known by a combination of sense and categories the mind brings to anything we are encountering. In other words, when we know anything we know it by what our senses experience, but also by previous innate categories the mind brings that helps us make sense of the data, like space and causality. These presuppositions in combination with what our sense experience enable us to know things. This transcendental way of knowing became a staple of Van Til’s apologetic method. Cornelius Van Til, 1895-1987 was a Reformed Theologian who taught at Princeton and then at Westminster in America. And because of His Reformed theology was critical of traditional arguments for God. You see most traditional arguments for God can be put in the rational or empirical category. In other words, they rest on man’s ability to reason from what man is able to identify as foundational truth; or its rests on man’s ability to scrutinise the universe and reason his way to God. Both rationalism and empiricism as epistemological starting points for Apologetics contradict what the Bible teaches... Read More Source

Classical Apologetics: With Dr. Ken SamplesIn this theology podcast Kenneth R. Samples (a scholar from Reasons to Believe) joins Josh Lewis on The Remnant Radio to discuss the classical Apologetic arguments. We discuss the Cosmological Argument, the Teleological argument, the Ontological argument, the Moral Argument, the Transcendental Argument, and Presuppositional Arguments.Cosmological argument – Argues that the existence of the universe demonstrates that God exists. Various primary arguments from cosmology and the nature of causation are often offered to support the cosmological argument.Teleological argument – Argues that there is a purposeful design in the world around us, and a design requires a designer.Ontological argument – Argues that the very concept of God demands that there is an actual existent God.Moral Argument – Argues that there are objectively valid moral values, and therefore, there must be an absolute from which they are derived.Transcendental Argument – Argues that all our abilities to think and reason require the existence of God.Presuppositional Arguments – Argues that the basic beliefs of theists and non-theists require God as a necessary precondition.As a Reasons to Believe scholar Ken has a great passion to help people understand and see the truth and relevance of Christianity's truth-claims. His writings and lectures at Reasons to Believe focus on showing how the great doctrinal truths of the faith (the Trinity, the Incarnation, the Atonement, creation ex nihilo, salvation by grace, etc.) are uniquely compatible with reason. This approach reflects the historic Christian apologetic statement - "faith seeking understanding."

Apologetics Live 11/08/2018 Women in ministry was the opening topic:  Some very helpful references to learn more about Women in Ministry is on the CARM website: http://carm.org/women-in-ministry The chat moved toward “TAG”:  Study the "The Transcendental Argument for the existence of God” at https://carm.org/transcendental-argument As it relates to the “TAG” issue, see: "The Christian Worldview, the Atheist Worldview, and Logic” https://carm.org/christian-worldview-atheist-worldview-and-logic Brief mention was made of: THE INFLUENCE:   A novel of fiction by Matt Slick detailing the spiritual battle of a man who is helped by an angel.  But in order to learn the answers and prevail, he must face his greatest test. Truth is sometimes challenging. Get your copy of “THE INFLUENCE “at: Amazon and B&N “Red Pill Christians” were mentioned and seems to be a questionable group at first glance.  However further examination will be necessary to determine an accurate evaluation. A review of the frequent topic of Free Will was discussed. Great information on this topic in these two articles: “What is free will?” https://carm.org/what-is-free-will  and: “What is compatibilist free will?” https://carm.org/questions-compatibilist-free-will Free Will connected in relationship to Inspiration was examined:  Dictionary of Theology › Inspiration https://carm.org/dictionary-inspiration What is meant by the inspiration of the Scriptures? https://carm.org/what-is-meant-by-ins... The issue of the “Harvest” in apocalyptic literature (Specifically in The Book of Revelation) For an expanded look at this topic please see:  "Are the good or the wicked taken first when Jesus returns?" https://carm.org/are-the-good-or-the-wicked-taken-first-when-jesus-returns  There was a great deal of chat in regards to Monotheism and verses of Scripture which may need to be examined carefully. How many Gods are there, one or many? https://carm.org/how-many-gods-are-th... Psalm 82 is what's called an imprecatory Psalm.  In other words, it is a Psalm of condemnation and judgment against the unrighteous. Psalm 82:6 is given a better look at: https://carm.org/psalm826-mormon-jehovahs-witness See more about this in the article: "Why should I only believe in one God? By Luke Wayne" https://carm.org/why-should-i-only-believe-in-one-god The conversation naturally progressed to understanding of the claim of Deity as made by Jesus and the rejection to the claim by some at the time. Study this further at "John 10:30-33, What made the Jews want to kill Jesus? "  https://carm.org/john-1030-33-what-made-jews-want-kill-jesus John 8:58 and John 10:30 are examined at that link: https://carm.org/john-1030-33-what-made-jews-want-kill-jesus To review exactly "What are the imprecatory Psalms?” you may examine this topic further at: https://carm.org/what-are-the-imprecatory-psalms A chat participant who would not come on the microphone and who identified themselves as “Most Holy Family Monastery” failed to take up the various and repeated invitations to participate in audio. The brothers Peter and Michael Dimond are most popularly identified in connection to the Most Holy Family Monastery and are not “Roman Catholic” in the conventional sense. They are sedevacantist. It is the position held by a small portion of traditional Catholics who claim that the Papal Seat, the Holy See, has been vacant since around 1960. Modern Roman Catholics sometimes view Sedevacantism as an altered style of a “Protestant” denomination. See more at: “What is sedevacantism?  https://carm.org/questions-sedevacantism Moving on from the shallow venture into Roman Catholicism, some Marriage issues were discussed in generalities. The chat was then guided back to the topic of Roman Catholicism as a chat participant (Another “text only” with no audio participation) attempted to promote and defend some of the more common Roman Catholic teachings and doctrines.
