...of no consequence ; the opposite of it will al ways imply some fallacy. Thus, the proposition, that the three angles of a triangle are not equal to two right angles, and other propositions, which are the opposite of what has been demonstrated, will always be found... | |

...nature, but in His will. Truth and right are only true and right because He chooses them so to be. The three angles of a triangle are not equal to two right angles because this is a necessary truth, but because God has decided that so it shall be. Creation is thus... | |

...body can be in and out of a place at the same instant ; that nothing can produce something, or that the three angles of a triangle are not equal to two right angles. The claim to infallibility is simply ridiculousabsurdity can no further go. We should as soon believe... | |

...days, the professor of mathematics propounded this question for discussion to his class: Assuming that the three angles of a triangle are not equal to two right angles, what consequences follow? I desire to discuss the new metaphysical problem as dispassionately as, in... | |

...where, according to Voltaire's "Micromegas," a crime of enormous turpitude inspires absolute envy, and the three angles of a triangle are not equal to two right angles. One feels that he has no common ground on which he stands with Dr. Dorner, no principles accepted on... | |
