OK fair enough. But you know philosophical topics cannot be discussed meaningfully without reference to reality and the facts of the world we live in....

Substance is a form of physical matter i.e. tangible, visible, locatable ...etc. God is not a physical matter, is it? Could you prove God is a physica...

When you say A caused B, you must be able to give out the detail of the cause. Simply saying A caused B, is not meaningful or informative. If a stone ...

How though? Who is an agent?
February 12, 2025 at 12:54
Sure, but it is not informative to be meaningful in saying that God is a substance.
February 12, 2025 at 12:52
Time as human invention is what we use in daily life. But I don't believe it is time itself, even if it is also significant part of time. There seem t...

Time is known to be eternal and non stoppable. It keeps flowing even all your watches and clocks stopped. Even when someone died, time keeps flowing. ...

Saying X is a substance sounds not informative. It needs further elaboration with detail and evidence. The creator of the creation from nothing? What ...

If God is substance, then God is the creator of the creation from nothing. Is it what you are saying?

:fire: Great post. I will read it over taking time to digest fully before coming back to your points. cheers.

But there are billions of things which exist and have a set of properties in the world. Are they all God?
February 12, 2025 at 11:04
When you say something is innate, what does that mean? I would say innate means we have them without experience of the external world, or we have it f...

Let us know about it when you come to the Eureka moment.
February 11, 2025 at 23:30
If dichotomy is the nature of time, which one is the real time? What necessitates the "co-arising"? How could subjectivity co-arises with the objectiv...
February 11, 2025 at 23:25
Time itself doesn't have past present future. It is us who divide time into those categories depending on what point, and what part of time we want to...

What is substance? Would it be some sort of mass or matter? Mass or matter would be perceivable i.e. sensible i.e. tangible, visible and locatable. Is...

I have missed this post. Apologies. Belated welcome to the thread. I think I said it in some other replies the same answer. "time doesn't exist" doesn...

What does "God changes" mean here? Is it physical change or metaphysical change? Changes can happen in different levels i.e. physical, logical, metaph...

If you posit time into two different types, then which one is the real time? Are the two different times synchronisable in any way? Would it not creat...

Comrade sounds more spiritualistic.
February 11, 2025 at 11:33
From my understanding, Buddhists claim there is no eternity and no self. Time is known to be eternal. Could it mean Buddhists deny time too? Would be ...
February 11, 2025 at 10:51
What's Buddhism's account of time? Is your view of time from Buddhism?
February 11, 2025 at 10:12
Yes, you are correct here. In theory, the ordered relation is true, but in reality they are one. If you think about it, future continuously becomes pr...
February 11, 2025 at 10:03
Do you believe mind also creates time? or is time a part of the world? Were there postings regarding time in the thread?
February 11, 2025 at 09:25
It sounds illogical to be able to imagine a world independent of mind, when imagining is a function mind. Human mind must have the common objective ca...
February 11, 2025 at 09:20
But you can only access all the past and future from present. Past has gone and not accessible from present unless from the memory and experience. Fut...

"future" is the moment which will become present soon and in inevitable consequence, and it can be imagined at present.
February 11, 2025 at 00:14
Fair enough. Good explanation, gracias. I also feel that Time is closely related to Being.
February 11, 2025 at 00:12
:ok: :up:
February 11, 2025 at 00:01
Could God be Being himself? From my memory of flicking SUZ, man is Dasein i.e. Being at now and here. What would Being as God be?
February 11, 2025 at 00:00
Time doesn't reveal itself either. Moreover isn't all Being temporal? Therefore time is a part of Being. That idea just passed by me. It could be wron...
February 10, 2025 at 23:54
Could it imply that Time is Being or a part of Being in Heidegger?
February 10, 2025 at 23:43
Well, do so. I am not stopping you mate.
February 10, 2025 at 23:11
That is a simple plain English. It means what it says.
February 10, 2025 at 23:07
I thought your point was the argument is from the paradoxes made up randomly with the false statements or something like that. So if contradiction is ...
February 10, 2025 at 23:00
That is not false statements in the rule of logical proof. If I could recall it correctly, you can make up the molecular statements from atomic statem...
February 10, 2025 at 22:55
But when you are reflecting the events in past, present and future, they don't need to always in the order of the past -> present -> future. You could...
February 10, 2025 at 22:50
OK, FJ, going to back to your initial point, you claimed my argument is made up of a bunch of paradoxes. If you could point out exactly which part of ...

Thank you for your kind comment, Arcane Sandwich. As you rightly pointed out, I am not a logician at all. I have read only a book or two on Elementary...
February 10, 2025 at 22:38
If you bring in irrational premises to the conclusion in the argument, then it doesn't get accepted in higher standard of logic. That's nothing to do ...
February 10, 2025 at 21:44
Obviously you forgot everything about it.
February 10, 2025 at 21:42
No, you are wrong. I recall everything. You were just shouting out riding on the crowds of folks supporting you whatever you said.
February 10, 2025 at 21:40
Nothing to do with that. It was about pointing out your premise was irrelevant to the conclusion.
February 10, 2025 at 21:37
