universeness

No it doesn't, its memory capacity is as far away from the infinite as the number 1 is. A single supercomputer could theoretically employ every hardii...

Sci-fi shows play with this concept all the time but from the point of sentient lifeforms who existed in our galaxy millions of years before humans. I...

The technological singularity is a concern but I think it's unlikely to be any time soon. By Moore's law, on average, computer processing power double...

Mathematics and Computing Science for the first few years. Full time Computing after that. I became a marker of the standard grade final exams after d...

As a secondary school teacher of 30 years before I took early retirement, I had to teach the curriculum content. But I was the only arbiter of how I t...

It's you! No it's not me it's you! No it's not me it's you!.....until we both pass out from the beer! :rofl:

That's like you taking credit for a house I built. Evolution and natural selection produced what you cite above not god.

Primal fear, in my opinion, and hope against nonexistence/oblivion after death, and I believe it is for these reasons that we can dismiss the god posi...

How convenient! The trouble with your windup hat, is that you are in danger of becoming just another theistic guy who cries 'wolf'/god when no wolf/go...

So you are claiming that these gods are powerful enough to create a Universe and creatures such as us within it but they have no ability to physically...

Then appear to us in the town squares and say so you cowardly, nonexistent gods!

:smile: Ok

I predict you will reject @"EugeneW"'s answer as I would too, but remember, he is a self-confessed leg puller!

crrrrrrrrrrrrr, crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, crrrrrrrrrrrr aw just cant tune-in to any show broadcast from heaven. maybe them gods is too dumb bums to make a tr...

:smile: see, at least we are still pals!

and you mentioned the word fantasy.......

:rofl: I think it's mostly 'little old you and me' causing the main bulk! We hardly constitute a 'popular response from the masses.'

Introducing by popular demand! Philosophical DJ EugeneW :clap: :clap: :pray: :clap: :clap:

and Thor?

I did not type 'us creating the universe,' quote where I typed this? I typed about humans pursuing new knowledge, in my opinion, adds to the meaning a...

I prefer the Hulk or The Vision or Dr Strange for my personal entertainment. Well, I am sure some are happy just walking around and around a big rock ...

It's your naivety that is unbelievable! If you watched a documentary about evanhellical nasties like Jim and Tammy Baker, then perhaps you fell asleep...

It sounds nothing like worshipping a god to me. The Universe is not sentient. Is YOUR god sentient?

We do that which we are capable of doing as an act of common will. There is no Universal identity based on an anthropomorphic she, there are only the ...

No I don't, if you are referring to some kind of panpsychism then I have raised no mor that a small eyebrow twitch towards such. Your invoked image of...

Let's try to reduce the amount of repetition between us.

By doing so we can give more meaning and purpose to the Universe, instead of assigning such a responsibility to a nonexistent supernatural. As a human...

I don't as they don't exist but humans traditionally fear that which is presented to them as much more powerful than they are because such can kill th...

What?? Lions exist, do you fancy a one-on-one fight with one? Your fists and legs against its teeth and claws? No fear of such eh? Samson is also a fa...

Perhaps for you, if you say so but then you are a leg puller, a windup merchant by your own admission so.......:naughty:

Because humans should care about other humans because we are all humans and we can decide that it should be so, we don't need a god fable to provide o...

I am suggesting that the premeditation is your, not a gods. That about does it for me EugeneW. I can no longer take your claim to be a theist seriousl...

I missed this one. I do not blame the god fable for the religions created by nefarious humans who wish to become rich and powerful by manipulating the...

No, you know I am a fan EugeneW but I am moving towards the opinion that you are naturally mischievous. You have a good sense of humour but there is a...

I take it by homonoid god you mean those who looked like humans as opposed to being all animal or some hybrid of the two but who was 'watching them?' ...

Faith is merely a 'positive measure of confidence,' that an idea has merit. The fact that some people see it as belonging exclusively to theists is th...

Well, if I was with Sean Connery Agent Smith then I would be dead! Do you know something about me that I don't? :death:

Give me an example of your deference to them. Give me an example of your defiance of them. Explain your inconsistent relationship with that which YOU ...

Some people claim to 'sense' messages from dead humans, or what your future will be, or where water is under the ground or who is really an alien liza...

I see no path forward for us on this topic. There is no common ground to build on.

I thought I would attempt a more philosophical style response to your point Gregory rather that my two more emotive ones. If I understand teleology co...

To me, you are just performing a sort of DJ-style mix of some labels used in science and some labels used in religion with the forlorn hope you will g...

Never forget Gregory the religious peddlers that will preach to you about the rewards you will receive AFTER YOU ARE DEAD! Meantime you must comply wi...

I'm with Sean! I think if humans created what is badly labeled or proposed as a human goal, 'Paradise on Earth,' If there was no more poverty/war/raci...

An attempt at dramatic prose, not evidence of god. I repeat again, give Science the time and resources required to do this, meantime your are just eng...

But you anthropomorphise what the genes demonstrate as part of their natural functionality and you arrive at the will of the god(s). Its YOUR theistic...

I wouldn't blame them!

Well between your blind alley's and my tangents and trips outside of the solar system, it's unlikely we will ever find ourselves on common ground. Hey...

Because You had reduced the exchange to:

Not at all, you misunderstand. I am just being considerate of others. When Impasse has been reached, the exchange becomes fruitless. Face to face, ove...
