When did you start believing in God? I used to ask my mum where God was, looking outside the airplane window. I learned science, shouted against God, ...

Worship is maybe too big a word. But science has to be learned obligatory at schools. From young age our children are trained in analytical problem so...

Science replaced the role that God once played. In politics. God plays a minor role, though most people believe in God.
February 28, 2022 at 18:21
That sounds good. I agree. I don't think God is the source of moral. I don't care for nature or fellow men because God created them. That doesn't mean...
February 28, 2022 at 18:19
Most people in the world believe God exists. But like God once ruled the day, so is science nowadays. It's what you are obliged to learn at school and...

Dennet, Harris, Dawkins, Pinker, Hofstadter, Hitchens, they all propagte atheism and science. It's the same as propagating theism, with god replaced b...

The NATO was set up to confront communist threat. What threat Putin causes to the west? It's a capitalist state. Ukrain will remain capitalist. And ca...

I still don't see from this why it's repugnant. Why should science legislate and organize society? That's just the same as god doing that.
February 28, 2022 at 16:11
The priest just wants to be remembered for his good deed. As he should. By doing so he shows that there exists something non-material, something non-e...
February 28, 2022 at 16:08
You think Putin wouldn't have done it if the Ukraine was a NATO member?

Continuous manifolds cannot be represented by real numbers. A continuous manifold is not made up of points. There are tangent spaces defined on them, ...

Yes. With the great result we have atomic bombs.
February 28, 2022 at 14:08
I mean that he can be stopped easily, contrary to atomic bombs being used. The scientists who have constructed and concocted bombs have ultimate respo...

Brother Joe loves the attention given. Like we all do. Why ventilating his thoughts on a forum? He wants his ideas to get attention. To be criticized....
February 28, 2022 at 13:57
Him saying that we should serve the divine or worship the god is too muuuuch! Why? That's not what they wanted. They would laugh at us, our churches o...
February 28, 2022 at 13:53
No, off course not. But rocks and knifes don't have the potential that invented weaponry has. If you construct such a bomb, you know what it can do. F...
February 28, 2022 at 13:45
What brother Joe means, I guess, is that everything evolving in the universe is filled with some kind of divine spark that can't be explained by the m...

The scientists who invented the weaponry.
February 28, 2022 at 13:29
The future is looking grim my friend... The question many, if not most, are asking is if nukes will be used. WW3 almost seems a self-fulfilling prophe...

If it was the USA doing this (like in a faraway country like Irak), all western leaders would support the USA. I can understand Putin more than the Bu...

Wouldn't that have let to war with every NATO member?

d An imagination is a simulation but a simulation doesn't need to be an imagination. They are both simulations. An imagination is an imagined simulati...
February 28, 2022 at 12:00
That's a good one too! So we evolved in the image of some eternal divine nature. As gods made us in their image, then that's very well possible. And i...

You can recognize something and deny it. So denying a self evident objective reality, while knowing how it looks like and admitting it exists, is not ...

Better than what?
February 28, 2022 at 05:01

No. But I can imagine simulation software.

I experience more than one god. They can't logically be alone as the creation of love and hate takes two at least. Only when you have knowledge of ano...

Humans can act like computers but can computers act like humans?
February 28, 2022 at 03:22
I agree. It's the only final explanation when all gaps are closed. You could ask who then created gods but then the answer would be the same. It doesn...

Maybe better: the particle moves in the wave. So a particle remains a particle, tough not an ordinary one. Surrounded by a mysterious wave. So particl...

But what has your knowledge source to do with good and bad? What morals you refer to? How to find knowledge?
February 27, 2022 at 16:38
Is empiricism a moral code?

February 27, 2022 at 16:12
Yes, but it's confusing. It's not both at same time. Sometimes particle, sometimes wave. They seem complementary. What does that mean? I know what is ...
February 27, 2022 at 15:29
God only knows. He has put it in. Love maybe. Or hate. It's not particle-like.
February 27, 2022 at 15:22
I don't understand. How can a particle be a wave at the same time? Is it a quantum particle? Is the particle wave -shaped? Does it move around in a wa...
