You need to offer more on your concept of 'immaterial space'. Your descriptions of it so far don't offer much. In what way is your immaterial space, n...

It has more importance in cosmology, I think, as the Newtonian laws and concept of gravity can be fully demonstrated as being correct to a high level ...
May 26, 2022 at 17:35
Sounds about par for the course. Your response was the best response imo. :clap: I never seem to run out of examples of nefarious theists and their ne...

Yeah, they have even learned to shout from the pulpit as 'not god told me to' but god commanded me to and now he commands you to.... I caught an excer...
May 26, 2022 at 16:53
Well some of the early gods have actually become comic-based superheros, such as Thor and the rest are based on classical or biblical characters such ...
May 26, 2022 at 16:42
Because god is promoted as a superhero who cares about you and will look after you if you comply with its dictates.
May 26, 2022 at 16:32
A polytheist.
May 26, 2022 at 15:22
You sound familiar! Ask a theist, perhaps @hillary.
May 26, 2022 at 15:15
No rationale at all, just manifestations of wishful protections against primal fears.

:smile: Cudos for choosing a star wars handle and one of the most controversial characters amongst the star wars fans. Was that why you chose it? I te...

Especially after 10 good measures of a good peaty Scottish single malt such as Lagavulin, Laphroaig, Caol Ila, Ileach etc. But if extension and durati...
May 26, 2022 at 09:05
For you, is this the same question as, 'does the supernatural exist?' and 'does god exist?' Can I scratch an annoying itch as well? based on your use ...
May 26, 2022 at 08:49
What do you move in, if not space?
May 26, 2022 at 08:28
Singularity is just a label for a collection of attributes such as infinite density, infinite energy concentration, unknown dimensionality/shape, defi...
May 26, 2022 at 08:28
I had read your OP when you first posted this thread. You use the label 'immaterial space,' and suggest it became 'actual space,' or I assume 'materia...
May 26, 2022 at 08:04
I completely agree! and it would be so easy for an omnipotent entity to settle the evidence need that human science requires, so the fact it hasn't do...
May 26, 2022 at 07:12
Well, I would ask you two questions based on what you have typed above. 1. Do you think the reason that anything exists rather than nothing must follo...
May 26, 2022 at 06:52
Comb your f****** hair BOJO you look like a clown! Ken Dodd (if he were still alive) would complain you are trying to steal his act. Now shove that ti...
May 25, 2022 at 19:18
I'm glad you agree, your annoyance and my reaction to @skydark......unsurprisingly human.
May 25, 2022 at 18:37
Ok, thanks for the exchange about our origin of the Universe viewpoints.
May 25, 2022 at 18:30
Ok, a clear example, and i get the distinction you are making but in analysing that scenario a little deeper, it seems to me that there are other even...
May 25, 2022 at 18:19
I will react to characters like @skydark when I think it is required. I understand that you might be annoyed by such exchanges but it is part of being...

Does not or cannot? is choice invloved?
May 25, 2022 at 17:55
Ok, you don't have to keep demonstrating how delusional you are, you have provided me with adequate evidence. Keep trying to find a light to help you ...
May 25, 2022 at 17:53
I see you do: Excuse my lack of knowledge of philosophical academia: I picked the following from the link you provided: "The place where the archer mo...
May 25, 2022 at 17:49
Ah, is your viewpoint panpsychist or cosmopsychist? :grin: Ok, we will drop that one then, unless you want to breath new air into it.
May 25, 2022 at 17:20
Unfortunately for your mommy, you are not!
May 25, 2022 at 17:15
I cant find examples of that contextual use of the word 'efficient.' A quick google search offers: efficiency(of a system or machine) achieving maximu...
May 25, 2022 at 17:14
Ok so you reject all current 'religious' descriptions of god, yes? But was Aristotle's description not based on an apriori metaphysical viewpoint and ...
May 25, 2022 at 17:10
Why efficient? Do you mean that there are other ways to achieve the same result which would be successful but less efficient?
May 25, 2022 at 16:56
Did you mean 'efficient' or 'sufficient.' I take it you meant sufficient and in that case, yes, it could be. Science has yet to and may never be able ...
May 25, 2022 at 16:52
I see you need to run to mommy for a reassuring hug. Run little boy, run to your mommy. Your sky is quite dark isn't it!
May 25, 2022 at 16:42
But can you give me an example that demonstrates it's not a self-contradicting statement? These are important issues when it comes to the theistic arg...
May 25, 2022 at 16:37
Give me an example to explain what you mean. God is posited as an entity that can cause processes to happen but was not itself, created. A quick googl...
May 25, 2022 at 15:01
I refer you back to your unprovoked, irrational, arrogant earlier typings such as: However don't let that stop you from looking deeper into this topic...
May 25, 2022 at 14:42
What? The term uncaused cause makes no sense, it's like saying the nonexistent existent, just nonsense. I appreciate your comments regarding Hume and ...
May 25, 2022 at 13:08
It bodes well for you that you are so easily astonished. Perhaps this will aid you in your search for enlightenment. If I have provided you with enlig...

So does this not clash with: Past and future are words without existence; they do not exist. — val p miranda are you just trying to relabel the future...
May 25, 2022 at 08:46
Your link took me to p19 of your thread titled 'A first cause is logically necessary. I take it that the proof you were referring to was in the OP of ...
May 25, 2022 at 08:30
It's a shame you still see yourself as a child. I didn't realise you were trying to 'entrap' adults. Paranoia is treatable, you don't have to suffer i...
May 25, 2022 at 07:44
A shame you feel so defensive. I was not attacking you until you started to throw your toys at me.
May 24, 2022 at 19:39
Well, seems like I second your opinion, but maybe in time he/she will improve their communication skills. Perhaps that's why he/she reads posts on TPF...
May 24, 2022 at 19:37
Perhaps you will choose to explain yourself more clearly in the future. Imparting ideas to others takes time, effort and good communication skills.
May 24, 2022 at 19:35
:rofl: Thank you for that rather arrogant permission that I don't require.
May 24, 2022 at 19:32
:cool: Remember this old song of hope: https://youtu.be/R-ZplG81oZg
May 24, 2022 at 19:21
I don't know what point you are making here. The sound of woosh! As it went over my head. I disagree, we are strongly influenced by 'the collective,' ...
May 24, 2022 at 19:15
I think many/most individuals base their entire existence around their personal wants/needs/desires rather than what they perceive as their beliefs. D...
May 24, 2022 at 18:03
Absolutely, I understood your approach, you were suggesting that the woman 'coped' with her delusions of grandeur, in fact, it may have been the most ...

How do posits like the multiverse or the Penrose bounce affect your view on the infinite regression and a necessary first cause? Does it not matter ho...
