There is no difference between possible and necessary in the absolute sense because every possible object exists necessarily in reality as a whole. That is known as 'begging the question' in that you have assumed the result that it is necessary for you to prove. In other words, you have a circular argument. I don't have much of an argument for claiming that there is no difference between possible and "real" existence. I just can't even imagine any fundamental difference, I don't know what it would even mean.Is there a dog in your room? Is it possible for a dog to be in your room? Do you understand those two questions? Sure. And these are the answers: There is no dog in my room at this moment. It is impossible for a dog to be in my room at this moment.I didn't write "at this moment". So apparently you can't a question about what is possible.You obviously meant "at this moment" when you asked about whether there is a dog in my room. If you didn't implicitely mean "at this moment" also in the second question then the answer to that question is that it might be possible for a dog to be in my room at a different time.
So then is it possible that there is a dog in your bathroom, at this moment? Brent -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
