I am not talking about the number of shapes you can make by changing the location of parts. I am talking about the function that can describe all shap...
I said enough, otherwise tell me the number of functions in a system that describe the properties of the system in terms of the properties of the part...
I used specific when it comes to function. I don't mean that the function is one-to-one. Think of a cup of tea. There is a function that describes the...
Suppose that you move your hand slightly. The specific location of your hand is a function of the specific location of parts. That does not seem to be...
I mean, whatever function you possibly could imagine, a function relates a specific property of the system in terms of the specific properties of part...
No, I am saying that the set of properties of the system exhausts all functions in which each function relates a specific property of the system to sp...
Correct. Curiosity is the fundamental aspect of life. I have to say evolution is accepted as a scientific fact, but that does not mean that there is D...
We know that the quality of experience is a function of the properties of parts. We know what the properties of parts are, such as mass, charge, speed...
I am a substance pluralist. I am not discussing here that the experience is the result of the mind perceiving the object. I get their definition of ex...
To them, the phenomenon of experience is the result of strong emergence, by which they mean that the experience is the result of the properties of mat...
Physicalists claim that consciousness is the result of neurons firing. So consciousness to them is the result of the motion of electrons and chemicals...
I am not a language expert, but this is my understanding of language. Any meaningful sentence in any language is made of parts, but it can create a ne...
We say that we are dealing with weak emergence when the property of a system can be simulated in terms of the properties of parts as well. The problem...
It is correct. If matter moves on its own, and experience is the result of how matter moves, then how could experience be causally efficacious? Experi...
I am happy with my definition. I also gave the example of antiferromagnetism, which clearly demonstrates what I mean by function. So, I won't accept y...
If consciousness is a strong emergent thing, then it cannot be causally efficacious in the world where physical objects obey the laws of nature. We, h...
Well, you believe in NT, and within it, Adam is cited. I am saying a perfect good God cannot create an imperfect good creation, wherein doing evil is ...
Yes, there exist metal properties as well, which are related to the existence of another substance that I call the object. So, the question is whether...
Could we agree on the definition of weak emergence, which occurs when the property of the system is a function of the properties of its parts? That, o...
Consider each experience you may have right now, like reading my reply, tasting a little tea, etc. Each of these experiences is unique to you in the s...
The first part is concise. I think the second part should be "Exists" = is either subjective or objective, unless you clarify why you used "may". Ok, ...
Are you referring to the story of Adam and Eve? This story is nonsense! The God you are defending is out of discussion since He is less than you. Adam...
I think that the brain is the infrastructure that mainly allows minds to interact with each other. There is also the object between the brain and the ...
Yes, there are more substances involved in creatures that can think. We need three substances for perception and causation, so-called: the brain, the ...
Correct. Yes, the brain is involved. We, however, should not forget the contribution of the mind, since that is the mind which causes change in the ob...
To me, Qualia are the texture of the experience. So it is the texture when it is applied to the experience. It is the texture. Experience, to me, is a...
Thanks for the information! :up: So, in your opinion, what was the reason that Christianity has been so successful? It didn't bring any new idea at al...
If by reasoning you mean the ability to think, then I have to say that we still don't know how humans think; therefore, we cannot build something with...
Correct. So, I need to provide an example to illustrate what I mean by "exist". When something, such as a human, exists, it is a part of reality. By r...
No. Let me give you an example: You are an engineer. Would you make a car that you are sure will not take you to the end of a long journey? No, you wo...
I have an argument for that: P1) Perfect Being, like God, cannot do wrong/sin P2) Imperfect beings, like creatures, can do wrong/sin C1) So, there wou...
A good God is not allowed to allow evil in His creation. The God of the Old Testament allows evil and good in His creation, though. Good and evil are ...
The Cranberries - In The End https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAWx6k8ZQnU Very true: Ain't it strange When everything you wanted Was nothing that you w...
Wasn't the creation medium necessary? How could an ignorant God create the medium first if He didn't know that the medium was necessary for the creati...
Why are you unsure Bob? It is obvious that Humans cannot handle the situation well, given all the prophecies, inventions, etc. There is injustice ever...
