I agree that there has to be a code that allows AI to do stuff, but at the same time this AI is conscious being, and I don't know how such being, a co...

We can assume that AI is programmed to think about various things, so it has processing time to think how it came to be. But it seems very unlikely th...

No it's not. Direct testimony from God reveals that many will claim to be His followers yet He never knew them.

It's interesting to read exchange about Christians between those who don't seem to have read the Word of God in any meaningful way. Jesus Christ clear...

Love is the state of maximum acceptance. As opposed to evil, which is the state of maximum denial. God is the one who is absolute love, for example. A...

Headline for this post reminded me about something related. You say human life is only as good as it is useful. I don't know whether you are an atheis...

Slam dunk case for the non-existence of God? Within reality we can reach, it is impossible to calculate less than 50/50 probability that God exists. B...

I don't know if you are. I'm asking a question. If you care to answer, answer, if not, don't.
November 06, 2017 at 23:44
No need for ?s and !s really. In order to shorten back and forth, which didn't work, I asked if you believe in big bang and evolution as an atheist, b...
November 06, 2017 at 22:08
So, what do you believe? You don't believe in atheistic big bang and evolution, nor do you believe that those are most probable explanations of how un...

In universe that God created, everybody have some morals, regardless of their relationship to God. God gives, or decrees, some morals to everybody, ju...
November 05, 2017 at 16:42
Then your conclusion is that there is any chance that creator of the universe exists, just as there is any chance that such creator doesn't exist. Tha...

(2) is based on two options, and two options are defined in (1). Those two options are all encompassing as far as we understand reality and I can't se...

It's either true or not, there's no need for embellishments.

When other things fail...

Premise from OP stands relative to your answers. You can ultimately call it names, but you didn't prove anything other than that you dislike the idea ...
November 04, 2017 at 15:48
It's just not true that various imagined modes through which creator could create the universe diminish the chance that conscious entity, the creator,...
November 04, 2017 at 15:24
I haven't heard no chicken Bach. You can consider unconscious creator or conscious creator not purposefully planning the world, but when we measure an...

Racial egoism? That's some messed up stuff. I explained why human level consciousness is dividing line in post above.
November 04, 2017 at 12:48
By the way, human level consciousness is taken as dividing line for two starting options because humans work with plan and purpose in a way other bein...
November 04, 2017 at 12:45
Reasoning is evident. Based upon what we know about reality, we can divide existence by the line of human level consciousness. So there is all existen...
November 04, 2017 at 12:28
What can I point to, since you really didn't say anything, just voiced that you don't agree? Voicing disagreement doesn't mean that you are correct.
November 04, 2017 at 12:13
What justification you need? There are premises (1) and (2) and they are confirmed by rest of premises.
November 04, 2017 at 12:07
It's not false. It's premise (1). Rest of claim confirms what's said in premise (1) and (2).
November 04, 2017 at 12:06
That's premise (1).
November 04, 2017 at 12:04
Yes it does, in this claim.
November 04, 2017 at 12:02
We don't have tools and understanding to measure and grade consciousness, so human level consciousness is used as a reference.
November 04, 2017 at 12:00
You are in fact subjective about this and want logic and probability to fit how you think should be. You say that "Santa Claus could be time travellin...
November 04, 2017 at 11:55
Of course something you didn't observe and measure is possible to exist. No law says that you have to observe and be able to measure everything about ...
November 03, 2017 at 23:25
Animals also have some consciousness, as far as we are aware of. We can't measure the degree like we measure blood pressure, for example, there is cur...

In fact, we can measure and observe rabbits and conclude that based upon our measurements there is 0% chance that a rabbit can mutate to become capabl...
November 03, 2017 at 22:04
Then those are not right and wrong but utility contracts. That's why in atheistic universe objective morality is illusion. It's just about utility - d...
November 03, 2017 at 19:07
Even if what you say is complete true measurement, that doesn't affect starting probability from OP, since there is no known natural law that says tha...
November 03, 2017 at 18:49
Whatever you would call "objective morality" in atheistic universe is an illusion, since said "morality" would have to ultimately come from non-living...
November 03, 2017 at 18:23
Problem with yours and other poster's (fdrake) answer is that you stop at premise (2), as it seems. Yes, you can say "The universe does not exist." Bu...
November 03, 2017 at 17:42
I don't think moral argument can be used as proof for God, but as an observation that points to God. Problem regarding proof is (2) - that there are o...
November 03, 2017 at 12:33
There are only two states, which are defined in premise (1). As said in premise (2) - without further measurements and observations, there is a 50% ch...
November 02, 2017 at 22:54
One absolutely cannot do what you said. You tried to make a probability of what hair color creator has. There is a measurement that human can see abou...
