Then how can the non-material (information) give rise to the material ? Are you saying that it doesn’t and all we are is information tricked into beli...
Why can’t they be the same thing ? Non-existence of reality is impossible otherwise we would not be here to ask questions or even exist. The bigger qu...
If I understand correctly you’re saying that information is the fundamental aspect of reality. Yet this faces an issue of where and how this informati...
I’m arguing that in order for such an intelligence to emerge there must have been a prior intelligence which provided the spark of subsequent life/int...
If something exists and nothing too then it’s still something combined with nothing. Pure nothingness as you pointed out would mean the total absence ...
If something has always existed then by definition it’s uncreated. By being uncaused by something else for it to be. This way we don’t just sidestep t...
Yes the realm of where divinity resides in terms of laws of physics, time and space could be different from our realm of physical existence. It could ...
Yet the argument goes like this: creation ex nihilo would imply the existence of god which is something so it creation did not really come from nothin...
My argument is for the existence of something rather than nothing. Which is a brute fact, in that no leaps would have to be made for something spontan...
Spontaneously appeared? Not possible… it would have been from something. How can something come from nothing please explain. If it simply began then t...
@"Wayfarer" If we grant the supposition that life came from outer space then it still begs the question of its origin as @"L'éléphant" pointed out. Ab...
Sure it’s just a concept however I’d like to point out the following argument. Something cannot come from nothing, it’s just impossible logically and ...
The question concerns eternal being as well as far as the argument goes if something can’t come from nothing then something has always existed, timele...
Very good! Yes I would posit an eternal intelligence or divine being as the precursor to current life and intelligence to avoid any infinite regress i...
Yes a pre-existing intelligence would face the same evolutionary challenge as the current one, however if one posits an eternal intelligence that is u...
I think life is like a song and wherever there’s a song there must have been a singer. That is my views on life… with the singer being the divine forc...
Is proof not in the pudding though, by analogy if there’s a pudding does that not entail a pudding maker ? Or do you hold to the idea that pudding jus...
Intelligent life is that which is aware, can adapt, problem solve and make choices. @"LuckyR" Nature of the divine on the other hand would only lead m...
I do not deny evolution at all. I just believe that the emergence of intelligence in this universe has a precedent, that is a prior intelligence was w...
Either that or life and intelligence developed by itself unaided. Does not appear feasible given the odds of going from non life to life. A helping ha...

In contrast to aristotles prime mover then. If life is purely a cosmic naturalistic fluke that happened without any divine intervention to kick start ...
By unstable I mean the universe would simply collapse after only existing for a brief amount of time. Well they’re special because only some universes...
There are some things science will never be able to explain such as what existed before the big bang. It’s just physically impossible because that’s w...
The issue I have with the naturalistic position is that while it’s good to how things work and to some extent why. For example why is there life ? The...
Yet, if a naturalism falls short of explaining certain phenomena such as the emergence of life and the only logical explanation is god would you not b...
The point of the argument is to prove that god exists by way of understanding the artefacts of creation such as life and intelligence. If we can’t tru...
One issue remains with this and it’s regarding the properties of different atoms and the glue that holds the protons in the nucleus. For example hydro...
No I don’t need god to account for the orderliness and stability of the universe. Yet if one constant in the universe was off by the tiniest margin th...
I was not aware of that. I think the point remains though … of course the experiment cannot be carried out because of the timescales involved in the e...
If it’s not random then there’s an intelligent order in the universe. The ability for the universe to organise itself would imply as much. Then it’s n...
It’s not just a matter of complexity but of function too, from single celled organisms to fully fledged human beings. I do not discount evolution at a...
I’m inferring evidence from the exhibits such as life and intelligence. Though naturalistic processes can give rise to life and intelligence the unive...
I think the right to private life is a basic human right which should not be denied. It’s probably not too improbable to have devices in the future wh...
As a side note. And assuming no creator or divine force present on the initial jump from non-life to life I’m faced with the inevitable question of co...
What is curious is that life arose from a basic form to ever higher levels of complexity and up to exhibiting intelligence. The question in my mind is...
The number of things that don’t exist are higher than things that exist for we could imagine more of the latter which don’t exist. I’d say that things...
Would you say the chair someone is sat on would stop existing once all consciousness is extinguished? Sure we can’t make any statements or proposition...
Who knows … life could be infinitely unique and we could be the only lifeforms in the whole galaxy. We still don’t know what the odds of abiogenesis o...
Language is more than a tool for mapping descriptions to the external world. In as far as it’s used to communicate ideas, feelings and even sensations...
There’s no meaning but I think we’re here to enjoy life and learn from the experiences we go through. The question is why though … why do we accumulat...
Sure I know that different cultures and epochs have different conceptions of God and the various mythologising that goes around the creation of life o...
abiogenesis is poorly understood for as to how life can come from non life I think the naturalistic and supernatural explanation would be equally vali...
Yeah that’s cultural bias, the experience I had was not encountering such things but I simply heard a voice in my head say a certain phrase which was ...
So we willingly suppress the memories and perspectives of the base reality in order to gain a new perspectives adding to the collective experience of ...
Most religious revelation/prophecy is probably bs and I say that as someone who believes in a higher power. To much outdated inconsistencies. Nothing ...
