Indeed, why should we want to if we can't. Why not being satisfied with life that's there and taking care of it? To create life we need to create a ne...

All processes are completely determined, no matter how complex. That's not for a sake of convenience, but it's how it is. If we are not even able to m...

That's what creating death is.

As long as we can create the circumstances in which live evolves, we haven't created life. As life itself is part of the circumstances we can't create...

And that time scale of evolution is the only scale in which life evolved. Nothing coming out of the hands of evolved life is life.

Nonsense. That what comes from our hands and minds is not to further evolution. Evolution of life, a freely developing process, is a different process...

We can't create the circumstances to let a DNA molecule appear or a cell or a neuron, or a form of life. To create life you need life in the first pla...

I look from the scientific side. Not the philosophic side.

Thus can be dogma about evolution. Ah. Well, they could do so by means of QM.

Logic tells us nothing about the existence of gods.

It's that what Sir Popper tells us?

Virtual anything can lead to that behavior. Being dogmatic tells nothing about your attitudes. Again, so what? You might appear in your videogame and ...

I know, but Dawkins is just as dogmatic then.

I accept the claim untill it's falsified.

And what's wrong with being dogmatic? Who says they wanna be impressive? The world would break apart if they appeared in the macro domain.

I'm not. If you don't wanna believe, Its up to you. Merely defending myself. Jesus Nickolast, aren't your jaws aching from your laughter? Or is it cry...

Because such a solution, such a dystopia, is the result of a way of life that has moved away from a heavenly kind of life. The human gods were respons...

Wrong, dear Nickolast... Their existence comes first. Whether we are able to "objectively verify" their existence remains to be seen. Their existence ...

But then why not say you are 100% sure? What if the can't show up? It would go against the rules of the material they created. One possibility is by m...

I mean, they either exist or they don't. What's so bad about it if they existed? We should be lucky they created a universe!

But how can you be so sure if you don't know if they exist in the first place?

The point, my dear Nickolast, is that logic and chance don't work against magical thinkers. They just stand up, laugh at you, and play along happily! ...

Dark matter: primordial black holes Dark energy: the hyperbolic curvature of a higher dimensional space on which our universe, together with a mirrore...

Most aversion of gods is based on the modern notion of one inhuman omni SUPERGOD, the afterlife, and threatenings with eternal suffering in hell or aw...

Time is made something physical indeed. The clock, which is projected upon an imaginary (!) time axis in relativity; it. In fact, ideal clocks, with a...

But so is the past. An imagination. So with the imagination of the future, an imagination of time is formed. Very true, my dear Corvus! But the sweet ...

The two and most important that are left out: Physica and Theologica. The order then is: 1). Theologica 2). Physica 3). Metatheologica 4). Metaphysica...

Is the proposition that there are no true or false propositions true or false? If there are no true or false propositions, can you say then this is a ...

By which I mean that Wittstone assigns too much importance to the language facilities of the brain, situated in a thin region of the neo-cortex. His c...

In a sense, yes. When we stand vis-a-vis the material world, it offers resistance to our expectations, ideas about it, and our perception of it. In ou...

Language doesn't enact realities. It's merely a means of reinforcing and express them. To a minor extent It's involved in shaping realities.

Thank the Eternal Virtual Particle Vacuum! Thank Vipav! Doddamnit, I'm good!

The first one who says you make ñoise, I will personally... How philosophical can it get?

You could make more noise and increase the signal more than that... The ratio will get better! Lovely sound thiugh, noise! :smile:

Good question. Is the illusion an illusion? I encounter this kind of self-reference a lot while crawling through philosophical discourse. The meta que...

In the eyes of Wittgenstein, a philosopher has a huge outgrowth, or soft hanging blob, on the side of his/her skull containing the neo-cortex part for...

Though useful for pragmatists and engineers, I think this notion of truth lacks substance. The truth about the universe are known indeed by interactin...

It's like they only had to create a bow under great tension. When created, a real arrow takes of (from the vacuum virtuals), the arrow gives the bow s...

Don't take them too seriously. Their so-called sense is nonsense just the same. But cleverly packaged! So it looks sensible. Unwrap it in the right wa...

Yes, my friend! But the real genius is able to draw the line again after returning from the madhouse.

Look. As time approaches infinity, or if all matter has turned photonic, then that's the signal for the central singularity to kick off a new inflatio...

Yes. And?

Points of time don't exist. Nor points of space.

I mean the spacetime continuum.

Meaning that we do or say things we don't mean?

What the external physical world lacks in depth makes it up for in vastness. What the internal mental world lacks in vastness makes it up for in depth...

Yes. I said one can easily see he's in a state of psychosis, induced by his social difficulties. But I didn’t say that because of that he's wrong. I d...

The moving dot is just a marquee. You can let a number go seemingly faster than the speed of light. Without anything actually moving. To let both (app...

That is not my argument. I think he's mad to believe that and advocate it in all seriousness. That's all.

The continuum can't be broken up in the first place.
