Darwin's theory of evolution, though a nice attempt to figure out the origin of species, does little to help us understand even the most basic of huma...
Berkeley's focus on perception gave rise to the notion of "essence precedes existence". Through our perception we may learn to understand goals that p...
Hi Bob! The information that you have provided to the thread, especially re: "the existence of unicorns" has been more than adequate! The thread shall...
Hello Wayfarer, I really love what you say here. I must agree that there seems to be an inherent mystery between our own consciousness and the sub-con...
Hi Bob, Spectacular :) So the way that people such as myself would say it, is "all concepts exist beyond time". Your answer to the op would be, "exist...
Excellent. Do you think the concept of "being" has always existed (or do you think that this concept had a beginning)? Has that concept of a unicorn a...
Hi Bob! :smile: Okay, so at this point I'd like to take just a small step back, and really try to understand what your contention is with the question...
Disclaimer: Bob, this was a very long post. Please make sure to read to the end before starting your response. I think that once you read the post in ...
I'm sorry, I meant in terms of distinguishing between science and religion. Of course you could just as easily get your morals from ethics or some oth...
Absolutely! You have it right, it's just that ever since Einstein described time as a fourth dimensional property, time was seen as something existing...
Religion for some time has been trying to make amends with science -which has been moving farther and farther into the realm of empiricism (and only r...
That's very interesting, did you know that some Physicists are now trying to prove that time exists separately from space? This is in regards to your ...
I think it would be easier on the eyes if you wrote that, "why does causality exist?" :snicker: Ahh, I see what you're trying to do there. :smile: Ahh...
Hmm, well "begging the question" is the informal fallacy of the conclusion being contained in the premise, it has nothing to do with an actual questio...
From recent ganders on the net, I've seen growing talk of "evolution of consciousness". Someone by the name of Donald Hoffman (cognitive scientist) cl...
Yes, indeed. And it's peculiar that in a mental world we all share the same explicit descriptions of biology, nature, and physics. One example could b...
I had a pleasure reading everyone's comments. Unfortunately, I'm feeling a bit under the weather, but don't worry I am still here...perceiving... :sni...
A very intriguing idea :) Thank you for sharing. "To be" entails something greater than perception? Interesting :) Perception is the sense awareness o...
Hello Angelo :) Ah, it seems you find much joy in the story of life. What about someone living in abject poverty such as a third world country or some...
No need to apologize, it was a pleasure to read. I do wonder though, was Einstein a victim of his own intellectuality? I assume he died unsatisfied wi...
Ah, silly you say? The quest for great knowledge is futile to some, but intellectuality, methodology, precise accuracy, these are the measures of scie...
Ahhh, yes blame it on my old age. I was breaking up one premise into 2 premises. I'm too used to old college days of at least 2 premises followed by a...
Ahh, very interesting. 1. Either all things have a prior cause for their existence, or there is at least one first cause of existence from which a cha...
Years and years ago, I knew some really smart European brothers that ran one of the local gas stations in my area, and I would come to them with vario...
Yes his argument is valid. But in logic, a valid argument has nothing to do with the truth. :smile: But I would certainly agree with Aristotle that ei...
Freewill can be based on 2 differing factors. One involves the inevitability of fate, while the other involves the more commonly referred, ability to ...
God loves all people. God's love is so great that you cannot even comprehend it. And God's love is far greater than the tiny differences that you see ...
Lol, so now it was a mistake? You didn't even have to ask for proof! :snicker: Just stop with the false and constant pretense of authority and things ...
Hold on, did you just falsely accuse me of changing my comments? I certainly did not. All of my comments are in their original form. I'm not sure why ...
Alrighty, I somehow failed to make you believe in God. How ironic that probably no one here is trying to convince you to believe in God. :razz: Again,...
Well I went out to the bar tonight, "so to speak", long awaiting anything that resembled moderate discourse on your behalf (rather than the child's pl...
If it is not immediately evident to you that there is something going on, whilst living and breathing in a gigantic universe...then it's a safe assump...
I'm sorry that I tickled your fancy by mentioning that I can prove we are not alone (by way of logic). Again, my post was really about the "invalidity...
As I have stated to you, my post is not meant to be persuasive. And I also stated in my first post that this is not the place to discuss God since the...
I think you (not "we") are assuming that my post or my work in general is persuasive. You come across a bit on the aggressive side (as far as the assu...
I can actually prove (through logic) that we are not alone, but since I created a discussion on God giving us gifts and talents (for the philosophy of...
