Restating the Paradox

[ QUOTE ]
Predicting that an event will occur because it did before, then having it occur, doesn't prove order. It doesn't prove it will happen again. You predict it will happen again because you assume order.


[/ QUOTE ]

You're still messing up. When you use several different events and derive *general* models that apply to as-of-yet unobserved events, and they work, you can have a high degree of confidence that your model is right.

What do you mean here by "fundamental truth"?

Basic.

Hell of a definition. Quit screwing around. What do you mean by "fundamental truth" and is the axiom you stated a "fundamental truth"?

[ QUOTE ]
I've said before, all non-theistic worldviews reduce to pragmatism. Which is fine, just don't pretend there's logical justification. It's a faith position.

It is, using a certain context of the word "faith", which is *not* the same context as religious "faith" no matter how much you claim it to be. You've got nothing better to offer here than context-dropping fallacies and tautologies.
