Well, in that case, I hope I am correct. :up: Its been a long time theistic claim that humans cannot approach god or understand god using human intell...
I agree, but I think the inevitable landing zone for all omni posits is called paradox. I mean paradox as a purely logical proposal (or of proposition...
I accept what you type here in general but it's probably even more nuanced than you suggest. I think there are many 'cowed secularists' around all con...
An interesting irony about 'look to Iran,' it has been ever thus, Iran/Iraq was Persia, Mesopotamia etc Parts of Iraq and Syria were Sumeria, Assyria,...
I hope you are correct but is there much evidence that theism has progressed in very significant ways in the past 2000 years ? Or is it only secular n...
If omni science includes omni physics? Would it also include omni metaphysics? Omni evil? Omni good? Omni error. Does omniscience suggest knowledge of...
Would be great if they did but as I suggested, I think there is as much chance of that as there is of each of them drawing their own rendition of moha...
In my atheist opinion, those who follow the Allah fable ride on the coattails of those who follow the Yahweh fable. The Mohamed fables were suggested ...
Oh? How did you access this thread? I posted it 28 days ago but it was removed by a moderator or an administrator. I even typed some random characters...
Some people fight dirty and try to hit you where they think it will hurt most. The best response is to not let them hear you scream but to become more...
Well, we weren't 'talking,' we were typ.... :yikes: OKAY OKAY! put down your guns guys! Stop pointing them at me :scream: Let's get back to the OP. We...
No disrespect to you AT ALL @"L'éléphant" I know your intentions are totally supportive but honestly @"ArguingWAristotleTiff" CRY, CRY CRY! as much as...
It's fun debating with you regarding accurate terminology, you defend your positions well. I might also complain about your constant use of the 'he' g...
:lol: Ok, fair enough. We are not trying to create a cold fusion system here so I will relax on the ABSOLUTE details if you wish. It's your thread! Bt...
Oh, they absolutely do, especially when it comes to developing new tech. There are many many examples of 'very precise settings' that will allow a lar...
I don't think that helps as the word 'always' means at every moment in time, past, present and future which could make 'truth is always subjective,' a...
I would suggest that genuine empathy is emotionally challenging for many people, especially if deeply felt but pity is a different harsher offering th...
I want to be careful here. I do raise a small eyebrow of interest towards those who posit a universe in which humans may be components of a future 'un...
Well, I am intrigued by his hypothesis and that of his partner Stuart Hameroff. Did you view my thread on the topic? Consciousness, microtubules and t...
I would suggest that your conclusion should be simply 'make your choice!' I cite again (as an atheist) a variant based on what's in Deuteronomy 30:15-...
This is close to my viewpoint but needs some tweaking. I concur with everything except 'The universe contains only absolute truths.' No, the universe ...
I tried to think of a good example for consideration. I decided to try using one often cited to try to improve common understanding of the concept of ...
Ah, ok, I understand your viewpoint better now. I agree based on the reference frame you are describing but I favour another reference frame based on ...
But humans are of the universe, we are an aspect of the universe made manifest, what we think, invent, debate, kill, save, disassemble, assemble is al...
The only absolutes I am willing to accept as 'truths' are scientific ones such as: The speed of light in a vacuum The mass and charge of an electron T...
I worked in education for 30+ years. I also served a 4 year apprenticeship as a painter and decorator. Teaching was as much of a vocation as it was a ...
Capitalism, the money trick, the manipulation of supply and demand are all methods used by the nefarious to make themselves rich and powerful and crea...
Just a little more on this. Transhumanism seeks more control over the inevitability of death and there may be an aspect of death anxiety as one of the...
The law of the conservation of energy is not a claim, the clue is in the title. There is indeed a frame of reference that suggests that from your poin...
Perhaps not for you. You are 'overruling' natural instinct. I am glad that humans can do that or else we could not overrule a Darwinian law of the jun...
As a representative of the Universe, I have a voice within it. I choose to speak in support of the Universes demonstrated preference to create life. I...
Agreed and life affirmation is already based on sound science imo. Matter survived and continues to do so against antimatter annihilation and imo, it ...
As I have said many times, to me, the fundamental is a question of purpose. A universe devoid of life has no purpose that I can conceive of. Such poin...
All the points you make are valid, but as I said, this situation is changing. Think of how much information will be available to future generations ab...
I don't think this has ever been true as most parents attempt to nurture and teach their offspring how to survive and even how best to thrive in the w...
Just a little bit more on this. I know some people who have traced the ancestry of their family and can describe a good deal of detail about many memb...
I completely agree! No! I think anyone who has a successful marriage and has produced children and has managed to bring them up in a loving environmen...
:clap: In general and in history, I think non-humans have suffered more than humans. I wonder how many lions or lambs decide that life and living is j...
This is true for some but we have many people amongst us who are very humble and genuinely humanist. They just get on with helping people every day an...
The fact you can type out some of your thoughts and feelings here makes you a strong person in my view. I hope things get better for you soon and all ...
Anti-life is completely futile as the universe has clearly demonstrated that if life can happen, it will happen, somewhere at some point, again and ag...
