You would need to provide a lot more evidence than your typed protestation above. How about debunking the content of: Consciousness, microtubules and ...

I think it's now more commonly known as the completely debunked Kalam cosmological argument. William Lane Craig is all smoke and mirrors. Even the mos...

I prefer to follow the work of Stuart Hameroff and Roger Penrose on the question of human consciousness. The posit that a 'supernatural' (first cause)...

I agree, as do most, if not all rational people imo. Excess suffering remains a problem to be solved and human science is clearly motivated to continu...

YOU CAN WIN AGAINST DESPAIR! AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN! Decide/demand/command and FEEL differently! FLIP IT! When I get those down, desperate, depress...

For me, It was such a vital moment when I deeply understood that an hour will pass anyway, regardless of my mental state. I CAN CHOOSE to experience t...

Are you asking me these questions Athena? I will assume you are. My character is for others to judge but I hope I am judged by others on what I do. I ...

The responsibility to be clear in what you type is your responsibility. You suggested that a mind could be responsible for creating this Universe, it'...

I also have examples of 'warnings' or 'proposed consequences,' If I interfered. I was given a letter by my own union to cross a picket line by office ...

So, an originating mind with intent to create the universe, yes or no?
September 14, 2022 at 12:47
No, it simply means that a program needs a programmer, it does not then follow that a universe needs a first cause, apart from in your own musings and...
September 14, 2022 at 12:34
Just as valid to 'infer,' no first cause required, as the universe is an eternal cycle, or that our universe is only one of a vast multiverse or our u...

Classically, the word 'matter,' referred to anything with mass but I think now, the words matter, mass and energy all refer to the same 'quanta.' Matt...

I don't 'dispute' anything related to the physics of black holes stated by someone as renowned in the subject as Kip Thorne, I am merely querying your...
September 13, 2022 at 16:18
We have no idea what happens inside a black hole. What do you mean by destroyed? If energy and mass are just two different states of matter, then mass...

Not a big hit at the box office but now a bit of a cult classic. I can only feel anger inside at such situations. There should be adequate social serv...

A fair point! :lol: But as an east end Glaswegian, I would just get very drunk on the wine, get lost in the forest and all the maidens would run off w...

I wonder if the German city Baden-Baden really is so good that they really did name it twice? For me, Baden contains Bad which is never good!
