universeness

I've never heard of a terrorist blowing stuff up in the name of evolution.

If god exists its problem is going to be how it reconciles with us. Research it santa! (anagram of satan)

Extremist behaviour does have many triggers, that's true, but dogmatic fervour about gods is certainly one of those main triggers. I said I could appe...

Just type 'Adams first wife Lilith,' into a search engine. You will get plenty about her. I reject god and I can fix mistakes, well most of them. Some...

I taught maths and computer science for 30+ years you pompus ass! You struggle to type a legible sentence. I don't need musings about probability from...

It can result in extremism and extreme behaviour. Again they sound incompetent if they can't appear without destroying our world. I can appear in a vi...

That would make me as dogmatic as theists! We have already had that chat! I cannot prove gods don't exist. Then they are not very impressive. They cre...

If you are too lazy to proofread what you type then few people will have any idea what you are trying to say. Yes you can Mr Minutia! I know! and your...

All they have to do is show up and submit themselves to authentication tests. If they do that then we can both say hello to them. I think I will proba...

I don't need advice from Mr Minutia who has already admitted to having sinister motives. Just in case you didn't understand my 0.1% belief level in th...

Don't apologise. I accept your limited understanding of logic. :rofl: You make pointless statements. In the REAL world REAL PEOPLE use percentages to ...

Yeah I know the lucifer fable they are all just stories based on earlier stories. This dimwitted god failed in his first attempt to make a woman for A...

A completely illogical comment! I assign 0.1% credence to the god posit as MY OWN PERSONAL way to explain to others my level of belief in the truth of...

Yes it did make people flawed. god is described as omniscient so original sin was part of its design. Free will cannot exist if the omnis are true. Yo...

Theism is a belief system it has nothing to do with scientific rigor. You are being deliberately obtuse.

:smile: :up:

That about covers it. :up:

Good question! We are not free if god exists, we are tied to the will of an omnipotent creator. I find that offensive. We exist based only on its whim...

I am satisfied by the meaningless, mindless spark that no longer exists. That allows me to get rid of the whole god posit and all its flavors

Yep.virtual hand shake :up: Why? if there are no gods then all mysteries currently belong to intelligent lifeforms. I go back to, we don't need the su...

We have no need to, if, as I BELIEVE, they don't exist, so no mystery to solve!

I use the term in line with something akin to the definition below: " Incoherent means that something is difficult to understand because it’s not hold...

I know but I care about truth so I will push against those who I think do not speak or type it, including those who say what they say in all earnest. ...

Makes no sense to me!

In some ways yes, but no more so than De-Souza or William Lane Craig and probably most other 'public speakers,' in both camps.

And that seems to satisfy your rationale but you also accept that it absolutely does not satisfy many many others, including me, yes? Your arguments/p...

I assume you have watched some of the atheist/theist debates between Harris, Dawkins, Hitchens and De-Souza, William Lane Craig etc. They very rarely ...

They absolutely don't know that's why they propose but it is emotive theism to suggest that such scientific proposals are put forward from a position ...

A bit harsh towards the theist if you ask me. I would rather ask a theist about why they need the god posit. What role does it play in their day-to-da...

Its acceptance of the fact that I don't know for sure but I think your 'ignorance' word is too emotive and it has nothing at all to do with belief in ...

All hail Epicurus!

Did you not BELIEVE me when I already stated that I don't believe in the many-worlds theory, I assign it a credence level.

Is that your emotive or venerated opinion?

No, I don't associate the term belief with science in any rigorous manner. I might use it in a sentence such as 'I believe science has the necessary t...

Same reason I don't with god......significance!

The multiverse is not a belief, it's a proposal based on projection of what we know, or think we know and in my opinion, it is much more viable than y...

By applying what I consider rational thought. The same reason why I have such a low credence level for the god posit, which you know fine well so you ...

Your playing again! :naughty:

I do, but I don't have my own personal origin of the universe hypothesis, So I happily, look to the experts.

In other words, 'Progress!' :smile:

:rofl: I KNOW! (I hate to throw 'No shit Sherlock! at you I don't mean to offend.) We have been exchanging our views on that very point for quite a wh...

That's very kind! I wish I could convince you that you can defeat your self-doubt and you are easily as intelligent as I am.

No I dont, I assign the posit a credence level.

I was watching various QM and QFT offerings on YouTube. Some of the RI lectures are very good. I have watched many of them over the years. I think tha...

No, you conflate evidence with belief!

I can only offer to try to but perhaps you are correct. Can anyone FULLY understand anyone else? Can anyone FULLY understand themselves even? When we ...

There is no direct empirical evidence of a multiverse but there are ideas such as continuing inflation creating bubble universes and the fact that lif...

Well someone has to 'moderate,' yes and you will have your opinions as to the fairness of their judgments and there is a mechanism on this forum that ...

But so are you 'only human!' It's up to the individual to decide who in their OPINION they are most convinced by for a particular topic. Expertise and...

Belief is a term I try to use carefully. I consider posits. Many worlds is a posit I personally consider to have a higher credence to the 0.1% credenc...
