Q

Against VP

A

A-eschatological verification is possible

R-We could not verify God’s existence, we can with empirical objects as they have spatial dimension, but God doesnt look like anything, is everywhere and outside of time

M- The experience of God is self authenticating
A-self refuting
R-The principle is analytic thus meaningful “every meaningful sentence is either analytic or verifiable “ is a definition of the world meaning

M- not analytic, can deny that its definition is that but not that a square has 4 sides
