| | Skeptico: Five apples (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16) |
 | | You seem to forget that the question of God and material existence, whom I presume to be the missing 5th apple, is a question of comparing apples and oranges. |
 | | God is not simply another apple, nor is he simply an orange, but is in fact the rational, metaphysical and moral basis -- the apple tree -- by which we count, let alone recogne, and let alone enjoy, apples. |
 | | Hence, the fundamental error in the analogy is that rather than looking for the missing 5th apple, believers are looking for (and have found) the Person himself that provides us so graciously with all our apples. |
