I'm particularly interested in miracles as evidence. As all evidences go, miracles only, for lack of a better word, support a god hypothesis. In other...
I was expecting nothing less from you Banno! Let me take a stab at it: 1. Woman: A certain minimum level of the hormones estrogen/progesterone in your...
Beyond good and evil is to ignore life, the ability to feel pain, and, most dishearteningly of all, consciousness. God, a mathematician, has laid down...
To me, the structure of nature is perfect (mathematical) and that, to my reckoning, is (true) beauty. What we believe is beauty though is, on that vie...
All I can say, based on my own analysis, for what it's worth, is that maths is a part of reality. Math, unlike a unicorn, the classic example of somet...
Truth be told, Nietzschesn übermenschen are actually a reversion to the animal state from which humanity had just about managed to look past in the la...
Time, I believe, is not relevant to the issue. We're describing, loosely speaking, behavior of matter & energy and that, for all intents and purposes,...
Although, prima facie, Maslow's hierarchy of needs makes complete sense - it jibes with our intuitions - I found out it has many critics. That said, t...
:chin: Whac-A-Mole? Truth pops up randomly in an epistemic, to borrow a mathematical term, field...sometimes at an opportune moment (an example) and a...
What you say fits like a glove with Nietzsche's Darwinian bent: Evolution wouldn't have made x pleasurable and y painful if it weren't good. Add to th...
I can relate to that but only as a disinterested party; I neither wish to be the light nor the agent that turns it off. Point worth noting though is t...
Beyond good and evil could be rephrased, salva veritate, as beyond hedonism. Of what practical use would hedonism be to a denizen of hell? It would on...
:rofl: I wish I knew how, but the resemblance...it's hard to ignore. :lol: Freud's psychological theory revolves around sex, run-of-the-mill and devia...
Yep. This idea is very much like how a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly i.e. the larva transcends itself from simply being an eating machine (I...
:fire: If life gives you lemons, make lemonade? :chin: To disrupt one rhythm, one introduces imposes nothing but another rhythm, si? Play along, dance...
I have no idea whether something could create itself i.e. self-creation is a rather difficult idea to wrap my head around, but I can tell you this, wi...
Different strokes for different folks? :chin: I'm not advocating for prayer, intercessory or otherwise. I haven't come across evidence that prayer is ...
Lives have been both immiserated and enriched by Luck or Fortuna. In other words...we can eliminate Fortuna and her whimsies. Not completely though an...
If one contends that miracles aren't least likely occurrences, then they lose their value as proof of God. I'm partial to the definition of a miracle ...
Jesus is science. God, the Father, supposedly, incarnated in the physical plane, the domain of science, as Mary's son. As for art, Yeshua was not know...
The rule following paradox if a true paradox would imply that every possible pattern (rule) exists in any given sequence of word usages. For causality...
It's said that the great Isaac Newton, after having worked on the problem of celestial motion, demonstrated i.e. proved that the orbits of heavenly bo...
No, I'm not. My point is that God's a hypothesis, scientifically speaking. In that sense then it can never be proven true although it can be considere...
Fear, bewilderment, awe, wonder, excitement, thrill, all rolled into one! Holy shit! Oh my God! Holy mother of God! Holy cow! It's that simple and yet...
Kant's pirmary objective is to make moral laws as immutable & universal as the so-called laws of nature. Have you seen anything, anything at all, viol...
Once the creator gets the ball rolling - the first spark - the process is self-sustaining or self-rejuvenating (Phoenix). In a sense then, God didn't ...
