Knowledge is knowing. Be it how elementary charged (which by definition they must be) particles behave, how the Greek gods behave (in the Greek view o...

If allthings are possible, then try picking one of the infinite ways to choose lifting the proverbial stone. You won't succeed!

That's a very nice view! It's indeed the face out there that's familiar!

No one can compare himself with Jesus. He is the divine spirit emaculately in-, re- , and concepted by the Lord Himself, praise His Name! JEHOVA! To c...

How informative!Then I get it. Hawking just commented in his usual, science-indoctrinated way. Even with a mechanized voice, hiding him from an uncons...

This is indeed the fact! How else can I understand you, or the physical world?

Who says I'm disappointed? Why should I be? I feel pity for the poor man It's his own fault he is an atheist. Luckily I know better. I don't understan...

Te question will always;remain: now that we found knowledge of the both, what are we gonna do with it?

I'm not sure I get this. When I scream OMG, to what comment of his does this correspond?

A vocal atheist? Are you joking? Says the computer voice: "Ahas shahientists, we thary to fihind out what ihis the nature of tha maahaath mind of God"...

Where did you get that from? Both are based in the lightning-like parallel paths that massive amounts of electrical spike potentials follow in a least...

I think it's indeed more appropriate to see the apple as being Satan-given, but with the knowledge of a moral system replaced by a system of scientifi...

Why is that? As a European I always wondered. In fact there is a two party system here too though. It takes centuries sometimes before a coalition is ...

Obviously not. I truly are not in love with the conceptual works of Mondriaan or Escher. However I like them or pleasing they are to see. Sometimes I ...

There is an objective aspect of beauty. Objects can be beautiful. Objects can be ugly. I never understood why in aesthetics beauty has the upper hand....

Firstly, I only now see your response. Something went wrong. Im not sure why your name is under my comment. Ah, I see why! I made a mistake! No wonder...

Are you comparing yourself with Jesus now? All hail the second coming! Your inception of time is rather naive. It doesn't display a great knowledge of...

But hey, the writer is a lover of logic, so how else could God be for him?

I think you are very right here. It's what one perceives that counts. It's not my idea of reality (creation 6000 years ago), but you can always tell m...
October 28, 2021 at 06:40
And there you are wrong. Time is just a coordinate on an apparently 4d-d curved spacetime. It can be associated a number, called the coordinate time. ...

A possible solution: as we all know, matter is made up from two basic fields. The matter fields contain three kinds of charges. On for the long-range ...

I fully agree! What is the self? I'm aware of it and see him in the mirror. :smile:
October 28, 2021 at 01:03
Sorry! I meant that you can comprehend color... Just as I can. It's blue.
October 28, 2021 at 00:16
There is a very simple solution. The physical charges, electric, strong, and hyper-strong, give the explanation. The charge of matter is what gives ma...

If only philosophers were small monkeys and piggies!
October 27, 2021 at 22:27
I do. Whatever formal explanation you give to the color blue, it's no explanation of the color blue itself. "Das Ding an Sich" can't be known. Only ex...

You assume a separation of these two. In reality they are connected. Of course you can explore knowledge and emotion separately, and investigate them ...

It's a nice book, though the context it's written in is the scientific one. In short: It presents 100 thought experiments. It sketches short scenarios...
October 27, 2021 at 21:57
I,m not sure what you mean by a comprehensive explanation, but that's not the one I'm looking for. You can't comprehend color just as I can. You can g...

It is of course more complex than we can ever describe in a scientifically adequate way. One can only offer an abstract, formal approximation of what ...

Isn't it the same world the? How can a material brain, body, and universe exist without the creature seeing, for example, colors, or the world around ...

This experiment supposes soul and matter can exist independently from each other. Maybe they can, but in that case your mentioned world cannot exist.
October 27, 2021 at 16:16
Pigs can be great philosophers. Without knowing it. Philosophers can be great pigs. And they know it.
October 27, 2021 at 16:02
As respectable and informative your writing is, it still doesn't explain my conscious feeling of pain. How can it. The conscious pain cannot be explai...
October 27, 2021 at 15:47
Because all explanations have the consciousness as subject matter. They don't have access to the consciousness itself. There is no knowledge of the co...

Spacetime can be infinite. How the hell could he have created that at a moment in our time? Any moment in time has a predecessor. How could he have cr...
October 27, 2021 at 13:28
I'm on to expose your view. It's a nice view, though I can easily show it to be wrong. From my POV, that is. To God, time can exist or not. I think it...
October 27, 2021 at 13:19
I’m not exactly sure I know what you’re referring to when you mention a base system of knowledge. Would you mind explaining the concept to me? I would...
October 27, 2021 at 11:55
It can be, though that's pretty problematic. Most choices are non-random. It's not universal though. In the sense that it applies to all people.
October 27, 2021 at 11:43
Sure! Good idea. Though we must firstly choose a base system of knowledge. Or you prefer a formalization? Applicable to all bases, be it the scientifi...
October 27, 2021 at 11:42
Indeed there isn't. It's a piece of literature that expresses a system of knowledge, a worldview. The major part expresses an abstract moral system wi...
