But what brought space and time into being?

Devils are not involved in the tale of creation... The situation, once known, is a mundane one. An understandable one. I think the gods are glad me te...

You're close to the truth, soon to be revealed on this forum! The world of philosophy, religion, and physics will shake in its foundations...

The fact time goes forward is proof of the benevolence of the gods. And at the same time of their laziness. Time goes backwards only for virtual parti...

@"universeness" Don't tell me you don't fear them cause they don't exist! :wink:

Atheism is not a belief but a being against. Against god-beings they probably fear ( :wink: @"universeness"). While in fact there is absolutely nothin...

Why didn't we evolve into wheel-rolling creatures?

Good try! Will time still exist if we ban all clocky things, including mind clocks and hyperclocking? :chin:

What about sound? Do we all hear the same sound? No. Likewise for vision. To see pure color is hard. You can't isolate seeing blue. It's embedded in a...

But still. Time can't be stopped and space can't be cut. How can spacetime intervals exist?

Can it really cause pain? Can those eternally dripping water drops cause pain? I know itch without scratch can be terrible, though it not really hurts...

Haha! You read it too?

If atheism were valid (which it obviously isn't) wouldn't they still have non-valid theism to talk about?

And why should one proof dreams?

Even my left and right eye see different colors red sometimes. Your perception of a color might be very different. We can both call something red but ...

But what do you call yellow? If I'm colorblind, everything looks grey, like on a B&W photograph.

You might say you are awake but what if I say that I don't believe you? The fact that you say it is no proof. How can I know you are awake like me?

Why is that?

The existence of the universe is proof of gods.

Because you can't show that either.

Do you have proof you are awake? You mean that you can never proof pain?

If all people are forced to steal, the things stolen can still be considered property.

Are you saying we our a medium?

But theism has a way. The universe is work of gods. They were tired of eternal love and hate making. Created love and hate particles to eternally lay ...

On the contrary. It's an argument from gniorance. I used some Occam's shaving gel. Which left me with a clearly shaven face of the universe, free from...

You have a preconceived notion of soundly demonstrating. If science has no way to demonstrate how the universe came into being, there is one possible ...

From Wikipedia: "Relativism is a family of philosophical views which deny claims to objectivity within a particular domain and assert that facts in th...

Is everything random, or are at least some things random? In every new universe, in an infinite series of them, the emergence of life is logical. That...

Of course not. But the western dictionary is based on a philosophy started by Xenophanes and Plato. In this philosophy the simultaneous existence of m...

That depends on the rigorous philosophy used. For you, objective reality it is an unknowable world, independent of human influences. I connect it with...

Dunno Shwah. Helium is objective seems more an actual proposition than helium being the second element on the periodic table. Helium actually is objec...

Two identical 90Booze's, in parallel or serial identical universes, would be identical. You can't say who's who. They would be a 180booze couple. Scar...

Don't you think the plurality of existence, the manifold I, the we, is embedded between the manifolds of brains and physical worlds? Aren't all creatu...

Creation out of nothing, indeed. But no spontaneously. Well, in a way it was...l I believe in multiple gods. Details will be revealed in a short story...

That depends on your philosophical position in the objective field. If you consider reality, like initiated by Xenophanes and Plato, who started the t...

I don't follow. If atheism is valid wouldn't they be able to talk with mouths wide open and loud words? It are the theists who should be silent. This ...

Yes: "Hi Sean Carroll! I was discussing on the philosophy forum. I'm writing about a cosmological model which tries to explain dark energy, particle/a...

From the link: Let's evaluate and criticize this introductory words of our beloved priest Carroll. "... a more old-fashioned point of view that is sti...

According to whose moral? Is there a universal standard?

"Forced tickle torture can cause real physical and mental distress in a victim, which is why it has been used as an interrogation method or to simply ...

You must have had some pretty bad experiences! Do they make you worship the Mother God? Praised is her name.

I refuse categorically to read one more word of the good man. Besides him being obviously wrong about the universe (though he has a good view of gener...

You can always say: "for me or us, it's an objective truth."

By the same token, can you proof to me that you are awake and not dreaming?

Scientific hypotheses can have faith-based hypothesis for inspiration. If you know the gods you know the universe. As such, theism is indispensable fo...

It's impossible not to notice! Great! It was clear immediately you like language. Words are the closest to miracles! Oh wonderful words! Keep them sym...

Imagine the universe, just for the sake of simplicity, an expanding cloud of gas particles which occupied a small volume initially. The small volume i...
