You can't bend space like a stick. You bend it with mass.
March 23, 2022 at 19:58
That's a questionable assumption...
March 23, 2022 at 19:56
There is an infinite regression and progression of beginnings. The current universe, by physical necessity (thermodynamics) has a beginning of thermod...

It's the mono-freaks making things up. To be a theist one has to think one god only exists? Why? How do you know I make things up?
March 23, 2022 at 19:44
How does he know the priests would say this. He just imagines that in an attempt to oppose theism while he doesn't even understand the workings of the...
March 23, 2022 at 19:37
You shouldn't take Carroll too seriously. The argument he refers to is well known in philosophy. It's a fallacy, if p then no q. So p is true. Nonsens...

What else kicked it in being, even if eternal?
March 23, 2022 at 19:26
All things in motion and processes must have gotten a kick. The kicker can be non-directional in time. The omnipresent and ever present virtual partic...

What kind of exchange you had in mind? It's about the invalidity of atheism. I gave reasons why it's invalid. You say it's psycho pant babble. It expl...
March 23, 2022 at 18:54
Ah! Now you try to explain my thoughts about gods in a psychological framework. From my personal constitution or ID. That's the easy way out. I can ex...
March 23, 2022 at 18:50
Of course. The music made by the god-dj sounds awful in the ears of atheists. How else can it be? The only personal relationship I have is that they m...
March 23, 2022 at 18:42
Well, they made the universe, with all life evolving in it. I don't think we made them. You mean it's a conspiracy that both the gods and life are inv...
March 23, 2022 at 18:25
Of course. But we also have to condition the subject, i.e, us. There is no such thing as "an observation". Thats already a theoretical claim. How and ...
March 23, 2022 at 17:53
F****** heaven is actually a pretty good description! I think though that your view of gods is pretty subjective here! With such a god (God!) I can un...
March 23, 2022 at 17:24
What is it you don't like about them? Im working on a short story to reveil it all. It can be read before not to long exclusively here on Teeee.. Peee...

The gods showed me.
March 23, 2022 at 17:14
Dumb matter, even eternal, can't bring itself into existence.
March 23, 2022 at 17:13
And I repeat, who knows gods show up in the future.Or have already even....It's quite hard to reach us!
March 23, 2022 at 17:11
Likewise are the equations in physics, in the even more dramatically prose of math, said to be a universal language but only spoken by some, under the...
March 23, 2022 at 17:09
I dont think we are the gods. I think they made us. They had good reason. There are as many gods as creatures in the universe. We just play the game t...
March 23, 2022 at 16:55
It's a physical concept. Our perception of space is like it really is. We can move in it. Objects can move in it. It's the sauce between matter. It's ...
March 23, 2022 at 16:48
Zeno's arrow proves spacetime is continuous. The problem with discrete spacetime is particles moving in it and time advancing. Spacetime can't be brok...
March 23, 2022 at 14:32
Because it aint such a fable and the scientific fable (how interesting it might be, as we both know!) can't explain the universe, life, and consciousn...
March 23, 2022 at 14:01
I completely agree!
March 23, 2022 at 13:58
How do you know its woo woo?
March 23, 2022 at 13:56
I just don't like the guy. It's not an insult to science or evolution but to his interpretation.Dont you insult theists?
March 23, 2022 at 13:55
It's not just the title. I have read the book and it's not very optimistic!
March 23, 2022 at 13:53
That's more like it, Scotsman! It's not me anthropomorphizing, it's Dawkins. He calls them selfish. All organisms use genes. The first protein life ev...
March 23, 2022 at 13:52
Let me try to answer. I'm not sure what Wittgenstein's take is though. Mysticism is related to not knowing. Evolution is the gradual appearing of a wi...
March 23, 2022 at 13:37
Question is: what is that same thing? Having taken a look in the eternal heavens? Do we know the plans the gods had in mind when they created the worl...
March 23, 2022 at 13:03
Religion again! Ill be damned! What's all the talk about religion the last two weeks? Every religion is part of the total religious jigsaw picture. Ev...
March 23, 2022 at 12:43
That's what Dawkins has reduced it to! Genes variating in order to arrive at new proteins to give them a better chance to replicate. Which is no more ...

How can chaos run free on a straight jackened straight structured computer chip?
March 23, 2022 at 11:42
The only thing we should not underestimate is the incredible speed of the computer clock. Pushing instruction in before one hasn't even finished yet. ...
March 23, 2022 at 11:40
I can remember talking to Eliza at university. It was a computer based verbal respond to questions. Like those answers of lady Google. Like those perf...

Okay, seriously. Free will. Why you think determinism is a hold for free will? Isn't it an a priori for free will? I mean, without determined processe...

God playing hide and seek with himself? :lol:

It's getting philosophical finally! :lol:

A blind alley and a trip outside to the universe? But that's exactly what this thread is about. Blind watchmakers and/or gods. Im still working out th...

They would be delighted to see us both pass out at the same time! :lol:

Ran out of ammunition? I hear that all the time. "Im off for a walk" "Got things to do", "Good day", and now "for the sake of the members we should st...
March 23, 2022 at 10:31
For the sake of members? What favour do they need?
March 23, 2022 at 10:28
For an easy Wednesday morning, we're going pretty deep!
March 23, 2022 at 10:26
Most common?
