Now with those parameters set let's set up phase two,
X is greater than Y
X is equal to X and nothing else
In order for X to exist nothing can be equal to or greater than X
Y has a value greater than zero
And the proof;
X + Y > X
I don't get it. So what? Which premise is broken?
X is still greater than Y.
X is still equal to X and nothing else.
There is still nothing that exists that is equal to or greater than X
Y still has a value greater than zero.
Let me give you an example.
We have a really big apple (say, 10 lbs). And a smaller apple (say, 2 lbs).
Lets claim that the big apple is the biggest and nothing is bigger.
Proof:
10 + 2 > 10
So what?
Yes.. 12 lbs is greater than 10 lbs.
But... our 10 lbs apple is still the biggest.
There is no 12 lbs apple. All we've done is some simple addition... that doesn't contradict any of our original parameters.
All you've done is say that God + stuff is more than "just God".
Which is true.
But there's still nothing else that is "larger than God" on it's own. God is still the greatest, the most powerful, the biggest... the "most" of whatever it is you're talking about.
Your proof doesn't contradict any of your original premises or parameters. Therefore, you haven't contradicted anything.
All you've done is some simple addition.
I don't think God or the Bible ever implied that addition was impossible.
