I winked at you! In all fairness... :wink:
April 20, 2022 at 22:49
Life is not fair because the gods are not fair. Why should your hypothesis about one omni god be correct? If we view life in the light of different cr...

Who says that I'm no milk pisser or that I don't steal? If someone pisses in my milk I steal some new at the local supermarket and some honey along wi...

What if you never did something wrong and when you wanna drink your milk you see someone pissing in it while putting your honey jar in his plastic bag...
April 20, 2022 at 22:05
So they should accept it as fair that someone pisses in their milk and steals their honey once in a while or even the major part of their life?
April 20, 2022 at 21:53
That's another hypothesis than mine. I consider beings with true creation power as a god.
April 20, 2022 at 21:44
If you consider a beginning at time zero as a creation and that beginning is embedded in a larger whole and that larger whole causes time to start tha...

That's the same heliocentric (or geocentric) worldview all over again. Why should Earth be special wrt the evolution of life. It's more likely it's ba...

Yes, but that path isn't necessarily determined by genes accidentally mutating in a way that the organism changes and the best adapted survives. That'...

Divine reality (i.e., the ineluctable limits of the gods, their facticity) is independent of scientific faith. Truth (the gods plus their creation) is...

Not sure if that variant is selected by anyone. Or maybe that virus is more intelligent than we know. It could be that information flows both ways. It...

Just look at CERN.

To select implies intent already. I guarantee you that you can't randomly select 10 marbles out of a vase with red and white marbles. Approximately ra...

The evidence for our existence is not hard to give. But that's no reason for existence. The big bang is not the reason for existence.

Can't parallel lines on a sphere intersect? I don't think a line has positive or negative curvature. A 2D surface can have positive or negative curvat...

But the question is, is the initial state random? The initial particle states of the universe seem to be in a low entropy state. Does that make them n...

The dynamic brain capacity is about 10exp(10ex20), a 1 followed by 10exp20 zeroes. Instead of the maximum for computer chips, a 1 followed by about 10...

The point with a collection 1's and 0's in a computer is that the pattern can mean anything.

The most probable future scenario will be that people start realizing, after failed attempts to program consciousness, which is bound to non-programme...

Assuming they made us in their image we could say they are not fair. So unfairness as well as fairness are part of creation. There will be no judgment...

In the double slit experiment, a 2D cross section of the wavefunction seems to show itself directly on the screen. You could even say that the observa...

That's the best argument so far, in my humble opinion! I think its an ridiculous statement too. I don't even think computers or robots can be made con...

Or, the gods are just not omnibenevolent.

Precisely. There are plans for experiments to discern. Costly and difficult though. But even to imagine this could be discerned 100 years ago!

Thermodynamic time must have a beginning. If not, we would observe chaos only since entropy increases. In nature, all processes are irreversible. Only...
