I don't understand how one can disprove Laplace's Demon using Cantor's theorem. Do you mind elaborating?

By a gap, I mean an interval. It shouldn't be. Well, I construct the infinitesimal in this way: 0.0...01. By "..." I mean Aleph_0 zero. The next numbe...

I didn't say that death is impossible.

C1 states that there is a gap between all pairs of distinct points of the continuum. Are you challenging (P1)? If yes, I already illustrated that give...
August 17, 2024 at 15:33
As you wish.
August 16, 2024 at 22:40
Ok!
August 16, 2024 at 22:39
It means something. It means given the laws of nature you can predict the behavior of entities. The laws of nature cannot however be explained. That i...

Are you claiming that something which is an abstraction cannot exist?
August 16, 2024 at 22:05
The center of mass of your body is a point. The center of mass of your computer is a point as well. There is a distance between these two points. The ...

That is a typical response from a person who either does not understand an argument or does not have any argument to add something fruitful to a discu...

Physics is not concerned with how at the fundamental level. We know how light propagates. A temporal change in the electric field produces the magneti...

Perhaps good is not finite. If it is and life is eternal then we are in trouble. Well, either the state of relative perfection or the state of sufferi...
August 16, 2024 at 15:24
A state of relative peace is possible. Correct. Life becomes boring if it is eternal.
August 15, 2024 at 16:55
Very correct! Very correct! Very correct!
August 14, 2024 at 23:15
Pain and pleasure come together so we cannot have one without another one. They are related to our physiology and without them, we don't learn anythin...

Well, the state of relative peace is better than nothing. The better you understand life it becomes easier to achieve relative peace.
August 14, 2024 at 17:18
Well, I mentioned that if perfection is boundless then we cannot possibly reach the state of absolute peace but relative one. There is nothing we can ...
August 14, 2024 at 16:40
We are curious creatures so we are wondering why life looks like this. I don't think that there is any sort of suffering that leads to a completely ne...
August 14, 2024 at 16:32
There is no guarantee that we don't lose it. It is a constant challenge to stay in a state of relative peace. I don't equate a state of peace with a s...
August 14, 2024 at 15:34
It matters. Well, God could be both good and evil. Such a God however is Just. By Just I mean God delivers good or evil in a proper amount depending o...
August 14, 2024 at 15:01
I understand that a perfect God does not need anything but that does not mean such a God would not want to create a universe with positive outcomes. T...
August 13, 2024 at 21:43
First of all, I have to say that I don't have an argument for a God who is the creator of everything from nothing at the beginning of time. All I am s...
August 13, 2024 at 20:16
If suffering is endless then we cannot reach the state of absolute peace but we can reach the state of relative peace. If suffering is endless then we...
August 13, 2024 at 18:04
I don't understand what you are trying to say.
August 13, 2024 at 17:39
It is correct given the definition of gap. The events lay on the same point if there is no gap between them. If that was true then Aleph_1 was the lar...

Can we make a correct argument without properly defining the terms used? If there is no gap between two instants of time then they lay on the same poi...
August 12, 2024 at 23:21
No, my arguments depend on the definitions. So again, consider a change. Is there a gap or isn't? Take your pick. What is your definition of change by...
August 12, 2024 at 22:57
I don't think that all the arguments that I provided are assumptions. You are free to finish the discussion if you wish.
August 12, 2024 at 19:54
Correct. Perhaps using the term process is misleading. By process, I simply mean a set of events that occur either in a single timeless point or tempo...
August 12, 2024 at 19:24
By evolve I mean both spiritual growth and evolution which only occur in species. I think humans can enlighten so we can reach a state of harmony and ...
August 12, 2024 at 18:48
Well, that is unfortunately not completely up to us. If perfection is boundless then we suffer eternally since we cannot possibly achieve it. If perfe...
August 12, 2024 at 18:35
I read your long post twice and here you can find my response to it: I think it would be fruitful to discuss the idea of God in the first place since ...
August 12, 2024 at 18:29
It depends on what the state of perfection is. If the state of perfection is boundless we will ever suffer. If the state of perfection is bounded then...
August 12, 2024 at 16:49
I am familiar with the Relativity of simultaneity but that is not what I mean by simultaneous process. By simultaneous process, I mean a process in wh...
August 12, 2024 at 16:14
A God who wants evolution in life. Suffering is an inseparable feature of life, without it we don't learn many things, and without it we don't evolve.
August 12, 2024 at 15:39
I am critical of my beliefs. I thought you could find a problem with my belief.
August 12, 2024 at 15:35
Cool. The next question that you have to ask yourself is whether such a God can create another God.
August 12, 2024 at 15:33
I don't know all the attributes of God. I think that humans are not perfect so they don't psychologically have access to all the possible attributes i...
August 12, 2024 at 00:18
I don't think that there is any problem with this view. If you think that there is a problem then please tell me.
August 11, 2024 at 23:46
A perfect agent is God and not a human with all human limitations. Humans have to get through, evolve further, and grow to become perfect (if that is ...
August 11, 2024 at 23:44
I said this to another poster and I think it is proper for our discussion too: "I think God cannot create perfect humans in one instant since God cann...
August 11, 2024 at 23:03
Humans and God share common traits. Traits like Wisdom, Justice, and the like are traits of many different agents. If an agent does not have any trait...

With the aim to the perfection of life. God as an omnipresent agent experiences everything in the present and past. Our experiences are however local ...
August 11, 2024 at 22:51
No, I am talking about three different types of processes, namely discrete, continuous, and simultaneous. A simultaneous process is a process in which...
August 11, 2024 at 18:03
I think God cannot create humans in one instant since God cannot cheat life. So we have to get through, evolve, and grow. To make sure that the outcom...

The world is just. Yes, we can make the world a right place to live. But we don't. That is why the Karam is in place and people are suffering. If any ...
