Coin or con?
March 19, 2022 at 08:54
We're not close. We're are on top of each other! That's exactly how I have put it. The mound side though seems to roar its tail in the dark. The dark ...
March 19, 2022 at 08:52
Was it just coincidence?
March 19, 2022 at 08:48
We're getting close, my friend! Mound and mutter. The village and the mother. Every village needs a soul, every soul needs a village. Brain structures...

Yes. They don't determine anything and certainly don't involve themselves in programming. Life, being based in proteins, once had the great insight to...
March 19, 2022 at 08:36
The outside world is as private (public) as the inside world is public (private). Both are as public as private. Mutually knibbling, gnawing, and biti...

I think this is a false assumption. Genes don't program. We just use them. They're ßupplying us, together with the ribosomes, with the proteins where ...

Back again. Had to run for the trash takers. Forgot to put the paper container on the street. I think by assuming that epistemic cut. It's an artifici...

Everything itself is inaccessible. But a thing in itse?f can't exist. We both see the fly messing around in the empty glass of milk. We both hear him....

Not sure I understand what you mean by "sign pain". What you mean? By the way, I had no dreams tonight that I remember now. I could have had them thou...
March 19, 2022 at 07:18
Yes, like there are theist materialists. Their matter differs from atheist material.
March 19, 2022 at 07:07
Yes, I know. Im not saying you are. Im imagining we are. Just like being a theist or atheist.
March 19, 2022 at 07:04
But then you make everyone a solipsist. If I'm a product of your mind, you assume someone behind that product?
March 19, 2022 at 07:01
Then why you are an atheist? I think it's the kind of gods you doubt. The omnibus gods. What is it you have reason to doubt, apart from the moral aspe...
March 19, 2022 at 06:56
That sounds like the solipsist attitude (I have to be careful with words here though; is it an attitude?). L'éléphant appears to be one.
March 19, 2022 at 06:49
I think pain is the donut tasting like shit. The hole is just empty space.
March 19, 2022 at 06:41
If you hear people talking in their sleep you have proof of the dreaming. Likewise for animals. You might even put me under a brain-scanning machine. ...
March 19, 2022 at 06:31
Thanks! If I remember them I'll tell you about them!
March 18, 2022 at 23:58
It's bedtime, and the Moon is fuller than ever! Catch you later, buddy! Always good discussion with you. Next time Hofstadter?
March 18, 2022 at 23:55
Well, he was influenced by Xenophanes, and I hold X responsible for the rise of the modern concept of one unified non imaginable omni God. And togethe...
March 18, 2022 at 23:53
I owed you one, friend! Two, in fact! The coffee stains on my clothes are the silent witnesses!
March 18, 2022 at 23:44
I had the same thought. And you are right. But somehow eternal dead shit isn't dead and has to have gotten a divine spark to be farted into existence....
March 18, 2022 at 23:38
I was on your side @"chiknsld" but Tom made an excellent point here! If the atheist doesn't want to believe, this will not make them! We have to be mo...
March 18, 2022 at 23:28
But it used to. 19th century physicists (and before), combined them happily. Mach, Bolzmann, Einstein, Planck... Where are the likes of them nowadays?...
March 18, 2022 at 23:13
Eternal beings. The universe is eternal too but too stupid too create its own basic stuff. Eternal intelligent beings don't need a creator.
March 18, 2022 at 23:02
Isn't physics part anymore of philosophy? Or only metaphysics? About physics, that is.
March 18, 2022 at 22:57
Only through other pieces? So not over free fields? Interesting... I duuno though if this ghost piece is proof of gods. Yeah, it's fantastic and amazi...
March 18, 2022 at 22:53
The laws and constants are secondary. It are particles, their interactions, and their collective behaviors, that matter. Democritus told us that alrea...
March 18, 2022 at 22:25
The best way to understand them is imagining what it is to be a quantum particle or a cosmos. Quantum particles have properties were not familiar with...
March 18, 2022 at 22:16
So is it the case, that ultimately, any science-based proposal has AT BEST, the same status as a theist hypothesis and is no more valid than any other...
March 18, 2022 at 22:03
Chess-like? Curious...
March 18, 2022 at 21:08
Can we hyperclock? :chin:
March 18, 2022 at 21:07
The existence of the universe and all creatures in it is the evidence of gods, considering it has no intelligence to create itself.
March 18, 2022 at 19:30
And precisely because of my stupidity I understand the laws of nature. It's all just about love and hate. We are living proof. 90 for me, 90 for you. ...
March 18, 2022 at 19:20
In fact, we have exactly the same idea, but differently worded. Maybe I should look for new ideas... :kiss:
March 18, 2022 at 19:13
To think what was, is, and will be is limited is a conjecture which can be experimentally verified. All current evidence points at an unlimited succes...

I hate to say it, let alone admit it... but this is a very... eeeh... a very... go... eeeh, damn... go... go... go..., excuse the stutter, booze. I si...

Thermodynamic time has a beginning by necessity. Forward time is determined by collective particle motions evolving towards higher entropy. If time ha...
March 18, 2022 at 18:09
I think thermodynamic time Is constituted the irreversible processes. You can quantify these processes by putting a clock besides them. A clock is an ...
March 18, 2022 at 17:43
How can the clock tick without motion?
March 18, 2022 at 16:44
I choose the wrong option. Aristotle is correct. Time needs a first kick to take off in one direction. His eternal rotational motion comes in a modern...
March 18, 2022 at 16:24
In other words, things can oscillate in time, like virtual particles in the vacuum, or have a timelike direction, like virtual particles turned real.
March 18, 2022 at 13:38
But only in space they can change.
March 18, 2022 at 13:33
This thread is about the invalidity of atheism. The laws of nature are stupid. Can't bring themselves into existence, nor the matter they are about. S...
March 18, 2022 at 13:08
The apparent outcome of evolution leading to one species controlling and messing up the planet is arbitrary. But there is hope. Balance can still be r...
March 18, 2022 at 08:51
Time can't exist without space. Your conception of time makes you think it can go one direction only. But it can go up and down. It can oscillate. In ...
March 18, 2022 at 08:34
This argument fails if time is assume to go forward only. If it goes up and down, as before the unidirectional inflation, spawning the real from the v...
March 18, 2022 at 08:31
I can agree precisely because I have such education. And let me tell you, there is no difference between the scriptures once taught and those taught a...
March 18, 2022 at 08:21
In the valley of the gods in Utah, the atheist can find counter proof of their unholy assumption.
March 18, 2022 at 07:58
Sweet lord Jesus... Where has the philosophical debate on free will come to? Not to mention this thread which is about proof of atheism, which clearly...
