A Reading of Genesis

Language is not an Entity. This round will be a primarily lexical, from the words and only from the words. Sorry for the tangenting but it's Pro's only argument. 3 definitions for the two terms. ENITITY 1) Entity - independent, separate, or self-contained existence. http://www.merriam-webster.com... 2) Entity - Something that exists as a particular and discrete unit. http://www.thefreedictionary.com... 3) Entity - That which has a distinct existence as an individual unit. Often used for organisations which have no physical form. http://en.wiktionary.org... LANGUAGE 1) Language - the words, their pronunciation, and the methods of combining them used and understood by a community http://www.merriam-webster.com... 2) Language - Communication of thoughts and feelings through a system of arbitrary signals, such as voice sounds, gestures, or written symbols. http://www.thefreedictionary.com... 3) Language - A form of communication using words either spoken or gestured with the hands and structured with grammar, often with a writing system. http://en.wiktionary.org... --------------------- NOTICE -- The OED is a private dictionary your definition has no verification for the reader. You link – [1] – is no more than a link to the OED homepage. Your definition is groundless. Criteria.1. Independent, separate and self contained. Language is not independent, separate and self contained because it is a mental TRUE quasi-object it is dependent on the human mind and dependant on humans. I again ask the question, when no one is speaking it, does a language exist? No. Why? Because there is no evidence for it's existence. That sir is the corporeal distinction. Criteria 2. Largely the same. Language is not a particular object. It is mental and non physically existent. See particular in a dictionary. As for discrete (Definition 3 - Separate; distinct; individual; Non-continuous), discrete in this sense in synonymous with what is above. Criteria 3. This definition is different to the others. It's similar when it refers to individual meaning but different because it refers to: "organisations which have no physical form". Like language, correct? Yes, like language. What must be taken in account is the two things that must be fulfilled. i) To be an organization of particulars. ii) To be a individual and an self sufficient concept. Language passes one (i) but fails another(ii). --------------------- >>Analysis of Wikipedia article<< -> It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Object (philosophy). <- (synonymous?!?!) -> Paragraph two - "Sometimes, the word entity is used in a general sense of a being, whether or not the referent has material existence; e.g., is often referred to as an entity with no corporeal form, such as a language. It is also often used to refer to ghosts and other spirits. ->Repeat: "Is often referred to as an entity with no corporeal form, such as a language." ->Directly: If it has no corporeal form it is not an entity. http://en.wikipedia.org... ----------------------------- The question of Light Not once have I said light existed before or simultaneously before genesis. Not once have I used the word light. You give no argument as why light existed with God. "3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.4And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness." Genesis 1:3-4 http://www.biblegateway.com... The creation of light is named POST GENESIS, at creation, god existed before light. Argument Negated. ----------------------------- Resolution affirmed Vote Con. Thank you.
