Wow Raymond, Just reading through the contents of this post from page 1. Perhaps I should have read more of your comments before commenting on your pr...

Many theists considered a pig to be a filthy animal. I cant see an orthodox Islamist accepting a pig heart, even to save his/her life. Even if it's be...
January 17, 2022 at 16:50
Your Theism seems to be on a shoogly peg. From your Thanatos and Hypnos commentary,(you believe in them....you don't believe in them) to your (I am th...

But I like this wee digress.....sorry Banno! That "non-physical part" you offer becomes two questions. is a thought quantisable? and can it exist outs...

Thanks, I hadn't noticed the quote feature, which is a 'doh!' moment for me as an old retired computing teacher!
January 17, 2022 at 13:03
I digress a little, I am interested in what the theists think about modified animal parts being placed into humans but perhaps that's another thread a...
