Why is the purpose of human life to create artificial general intelligence? https://i.imgur.com/ltaEqXq.jpg 1.a) Evolution is optimising ways of contr...
January 08, 2018 at 19:12
It is odd that people tend to bring up skepticism when I describe "non beliefism", because as an atheist, one would probably imagine that I had long e...
January 08, 2018 at 18:15
Modeling the world does not necessitate belief. The simple difference between non-beliefism and belief, is that belief is a model that generally permi...
January 08, 2018 at 18:13
As non-beliefism had long underlined, one need not omniscience to avoid belief, and by extension, avoiding belief does not necessitate that one is cor...
January 08, 2018 at 12:09
How does "non-scientism" relate to the OP? That people may believe in science, does not remove that belief generally permits the ignorance of evidence...
January 08, 2018 at 11:38
I spoke in this manner long before I began to program...
January 08, 2018 at 11:37
Alternatively, the concept of belief could be discarded altogether, because it is a model that generally permits evidence ignorance. It's not "complic...
January 08, 2018 at 11:35
Dictionary definitions (and research) had long been provided in the OP. And contrary to your claim, apart from the sources provided in the OP, definit...

That a scientist may be ignorant of something in his/her field, does not suddenly warrant that said scientist generally contacts a model that permits ...
January 08, 2018 at 03:37
I don't detect the relevance of that question. That query does not alter the reality, that science obtains, whether or not anybody chooses to believe ...

Are you theistic? Your answer will help me to define how many steps I should use in my responses to you in particular. (After I awake from slumber)
January 07, 2018 at 17:30
Thus far, throughout the discussion, I have not detected any novel information from the responders here (no sensible input from a majority of responde...
January 07, 2018 at 17:25
In others, you are unable to present evidence for your claim. Embarrassingly, you failed to detect that proof and evidence were synonyms, even when sh...
January 07, 2018 at 17:24
I don't detect the relevance of that question, wrt to the OP.
January 07, 2018 at 17:20
Can you present where I supposedly presented 'proof' and 'synonym' to be exactly the same? Advice: You won't find any such quote of mine. It's better ...
January 07, 2018 at 17:18
Your refusals to acknowledge evidence that contrasts your false pre-conceived notions reminds me of Ken Ham; he tends to express that nothing can chan...
January 07, 2018 at 17:13
I had advised you many times, and provided definition urls, which you ignored. So here's a clear screenshot showing clearly that proof and evidence ar...
January 07, 2018 at 17:05
The OP, along with many many responses of mine here, underline that belief does not prioritize evidence. Whether or not you admit it, such is the case...
January 07, 2018 at 16:57
Whether or not anybody believes science is to be relied upon, is irrelevant; for science is demonstrably thus far mankind's best tool, regardless of w...
January 07, 2018 at 16:54
I detect that it is sub-optimal to further respond to you, given that you garner that belief (something that does not prioritize evidence) equates wit...
January 07, 2018 at 16:02
Is English your first language?
January 07, 2018 at 15:59
As prior mentioned, whether or not you like or oppose or admit it, synonyms are words that are either similar or the same in meaning. Notably, you are...
January 07, 2018 at 15:58
It is somewhat tiring when people bring up scienticism when I describe "non beliefism", because as an atheist, I had long encountered scienticism. Any...
January 07, 2018 at 15:49
I don't detect the relevance of your response above, wrt the OP.
January 07, 2018 at 15:49
Whether or not you like or oppose it, synonyms are words that are either similar or the same in meaning. So, no, it was not "more technically correct"...
January 07, 2018 at 15:47
I don't detect the relevance of your initial point, for I had not said that those meant exactly the same thing. Why don't you instead focus on critiqu...
January 07, 2018 at 13:06
Fallibism, like some other theses, does heavily scrutinize belief. However, fallibism permits the concept of belief under particular constraints, cont...
January 07, 2018 at 12:50
Thus far, throughout the discussion, I have not detected any novel information. Please recall that I am busy working on: My book: "Artificial Neural N...
January 07, 2018 at 07:25
Where did I supposedly substitute belief and prioritize? Please provide evidence for your claims, and try to avoid the symptoms of the concept of beli...
January 07, 2018 at 07:22
Refer to the sequence below: Model i - belief: Permits belief in science or evidence. Also permits ignorance of evidence, but not only that, it genera...
January 07, 2018 at 07:12
How does the reality that science prioritizes evidence supposedly disregard non-beliefism?
January 07, 2018 at 07:09
Where did I supposedly claim that all beliefs are false? Please provide evidence for your claims. Advice: Refer to the Op, to see data that contrasts ...
January 07, 2018 at 07:06
I don't detect the relevance of your comment above. Recall that belief is described in relation to typical definition, and scientific research.
January 07, 2018 at 07:04
Once more, that you believe, does not suddenly warrant that everybody believes.
January 07, 2018 at 06:59
A simplification: Model i - belief: Permits belief in science or evidence. Also permits ignorance of evidence, but not only that, it generally permits...
January 07, 2018 at 06:57
In contrast, nowhere did I say that all beliefs are false. From the very beginning, in the Op, I mentioned that belief may both occur in evidence and ...
January 07, 2018 at 06:51
Such is a typical response; for I have observed that many people don't tend to scrutinize beyond religious belief, as you continue to demonstrate well...
January 07, 2018 at 06:49
A review: In stark contrast: a. I had been a theist for quite a long while. b. Four years ago, I had become an atheist. c. Recently, I had come to scr...
January 07, 2018 at 06:46
1. I am yet to discover any novel information, from others here. 2. Why do you feel it is arrogant for me to teach, but quite alright for me to learn,...
January 07, 2018 at 06:45
I stated (1.b), rather than (2), in my comment 8 minutes ago. Your comment is 3 minutes old, at the time this comment is written.
January 07, 2018 at 06:42
Goals: 1. Unravel errors of my own, where applicable. (i.e. learn) 2. Unravel errors in others. (i.e. teach)
January 07, 2018 at 06:40
That you may chose to believe, does not suddenly warrant that everybody else believes.
January 07, 2018 at 06:39
This is already covered in the OP, which provides sources that heavily discuss and present research on evidence. Is reading the sources so arduous?
January 07, 2018 at 06:36
In stark contrast: a. I had been a theist for quite a long while. b. Four years ago, I had become an atheist. c. Recently, I had come to scrutinize th...
January 07, 2018 at 06:33
Simply, belief is such that does not prioritize evidence. In contrast, one may behave in manner that instead prioritizes evidence.
January 07, 2018 at 06:28
It is unfortunate that you grovel in and enjoy your own errors, for self-denial of said errors shan't enable you to escape them. And recall, that desp...
January 07, 2018 at 06:26
1. It's really not extremely complicated; one need not belief to observe evidence; i..e. evidence persists regardless of belief. 2. As an example, Chr...

I'd already approached that type of query, earlier. That was covered throughout this thread. Do read and discover.
January 07, 2018 at 06:13
I'd already approached that type of query, earlier.
January 07, 2018 at 06:07
In stark contrast: 1. True definition:"in accordance with fact or reality." 2. So, Neil deGrasse Tyson is demonstrably correct, science is true; scien...
