In a previous submission, we claimed that any argument that works against polytheism equally applies to the Trinity. In this submission we will provide an example for this by using a less formal version of Burhan Al-Tamanu’ against the Trinity.
The Miracle as Proof for Speech
Using the occurrence of miracles, to argue for the existence of the attribute of Speech. This is given the fact that miracles are expressions of conventional signification.
Contingency of Existent Possible Essences
Proof that if a possible essence exists, then this necessarily means that this essence acquired its existence from that which is other than itself.
Emergence of All Contingents
Proof for the emergence of any essence that is known to be contingent.
