Forgot that one! Gods are the entities that, for whatever reason, created the universe in which life develops.

Why should they judge in the first place? They might frown when they us toiling along maybe... No. I just said you were believing for the wrong reason...

If this immaterial thing wasn't present in matter then consciousness, dreaming, not even interaction between matter particles could be present. Partic...

You don't understand the reason for believing. The why is not what you mention.

You think an afterlife is the reason for believing? Then you don't understand the reason at all.

I don't think the dreamworld itself is conscious but that inside of a sleeping person who dreams a world exists. This world has roots in matter. So ma...

The difference between the animated organism propagating life and evolution propagating it is, I suspect, a difference in leadership. Let's take a loo...

Dawkins claims to be 99.9% certain that no gods exist. Then what about the 0.01%? To be certain that if they exist he didn't say he was sure 100%? So ...

Do you say that life is a dream? If so then I dont agree. Most of the time I can tell if I'm awake. It's true though that while dreaming you often don...

Being outside the secular domain by definition means a domain with no causal contact, unless they can influence the chances of quantum mechanics. That...

What I mean is to let go thinking, perspectives, interpretations, knowledge, views, angles, POV's, etc. all together. To transcends the boundaries, li...

Particles a mental construction? They are out there, and in there, for that matter...

Fantastic! All for the sake of cargo?

I talk about what the field, a mental construct, is able to operate in. Particle states. There are not really operators in nature promoting particles ...

Some things never change. An elementary particle stays an elementary particle eternally. Only it's relation to other particles change.

Can't we think about being without the limitations of the human condition? A transcendental state can set us free from these limitations. The static w...

Doesn't the very word, being, imply change? Can you be without change? Is being changing, or changing being? Or neither? Is change an a priori for bei...

That's the ancient problem of change. Can a vase change into spoon? Is the spoon then a transformed vase?

That bright ball in the sky is a ball in the sky only when adopting a certain perspective. Changing the perspective changes the perception and thing p...

The interesting theological questions don't lay in the explicative or moral domain of existence. The interesting theological questions concern the mot...

The term woman, is short for wonder man.

Sean Carroll: "Quantum mechanics says that an electron can be in a superposition of all possible locations. There’s no such thing as the position of a...

The MWI no fantasy...? Then where is the evidence? Maybe there are hidden variables... But feel free to believe it! If you feel good with it...

You see? Also cosmologists use things there is no evidence for. Like theists do.

Then where is the direct evidence? I can just as well state that our universe inflated in a stationary 4D space with the right properties.

Like in god of the gaps. A fantasy used to explain something you haven't a good explanation for yet.

So you can say that the universe is indirect evidence of God. Cosmic inflation is no indirect evidence BTW. But this is not the place to go into techn...

It's a fantasy of the gaps. Where is his evidence?

Because he uses it it's no fake science? Scientists use fantasies too. There is no evidence to support many worlds.

That's fine by me. If you consider it science, feel free. I think it's a wild unfounded fantasy on equal footing with a god of the gaps. A fantasy ins...

Yes indeed. I wrote "we can know" which had to be "we can't know". So, why you think we don't have the necessary equipment? I think we get a pretty go...

Why do you think we can know the innermost fundaments of nature. Why should nature hold secrets?

Without dialectics and dialogue no perspective can be seen. Localized interactions are an a priori to get a focus on reality and perceive depth. Witho...

What could be the use, apart from moral or closing gaps? Do you understand why people believe?

The multiverse is new age pseudo science on the same level as the god of the gaps to explain unexplained phenomena. "Purportedly" is a sophistry way t...

Chalmer and Deutsch have some pretty weird thoughts on the subject. Fact is that a simulated simulation process like happens in a brain is no real sim...

Yes. Language is a living organism. It's connected to other organisms and can act like a chameleon, a virus, a delphin, a lion, monkey, or even a huma...

Concepts certainly have meaning. The concept of energy, art, politics, cooking, etc. Are concepts abstractions, or are there concepts for non-abstract...

The great thing of language is that it allows to set the mind free, static as the words might seem. Language lives and new words or ways to express th...

The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is no more respected as it once was. There's been a ton of writing and empirical work on this hypothesis. Most people no lo...

Is there a world without perspective of creatures lookin at the world? I think so. It contains all perspectives at once. Potentially.

Art is a language like words. Language is meaningful, unless you write a poem for the sake of words.

No. That's not how it normally works. Ideas form, language follows. It sets ideas free.

The point is that many people think there is an extramundane realm. And that realm can give meaning to our existence, which without that outerwordly r...

These are no gods though. Dragons could in principle be found in the Earthly domain. God(s) exist outside of this domain, so their existence can't be ...

Bukowski's Post Office. Pirandello's Kaos. Gomorrah. Life of a Day. Farewell to Reason. Constructing quarks. Florinda Donner's cheat.

A yes. Barking Barugh Baruch AKA as The Howling Dutchman. Unduly launching God to let Him land smoothly in the unchangeable, eternal, omnipotent, and ...

Yes. Because it is at odds with the fathers. They, in general, have little understanding of the sciences closing in at the fundamentals, the bearing s...

"Religion" stems from the Latin "religare". Which means "to bind". "Religio" is a bond, an obligation. Which evolved into "living under monastic vows"...

On the contrary. Faith is believing because of the evidence. Not because the evidence points directly at a presence, but because there is no evidence ...
