If God is omnipotent, then God can turn contradiction into truth. God is omnipotent. (under the definition) Therefore God can turn contradiction into ...

If you accept the definition of God with omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence, then your omnipotent God can make contradiction into truth. He ca...

It was just to say that logic with contradiction doesn't give us truth. It falls into the circular nonsense.
November 21, 2024 at 16:30
Of course everything exists. No problem with that. Problem is your claim that fake is also real just because it exists in the real world. That is a le...

It proves the being of you do exist albeit in different mode.

You cannot be the same being twice.

Why not?

Suppose the ancient Greeks used to believe in the existence of souls, which are to be transferred to the world of idea when body dies. For the Platoni...

Substance as soul or psyche? Where does the suggestion come from?
November 21, 2024 at 10:32
If you accept God itself is a being with omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence, then it is not a contradiction. In the world of God itself under t...

My definition of God was "God" in the word, and it is God itself.
November 21, 2024 at 00:06
OK. The passage caught my eyes, as I was just about to start re-reading some Heidegger books.
November 20, 2024 at 23:38
Doesn't Heidegger's concept of world in Being and Time include the concept of reality?
November 20, 2024 at 23:35
Words represent objects and entities in the world, but words themselves are not representation.
November 20, 2024 at 23:29
I think we do. There are a plethora of different types of objects in the world for our perception. And our perception works in different ways for diff...

Fake objects exist as fakes, and their properties are fake. Real objects have the real properties when examined and proved. Fake cannot be real and re...

What do Ethical Principles mean? What is the relationship between ethical principles and trends? Why are they relevant?
November 20, 2024 at 09:07
Ergo God does not exist. If God does not exist, then God exists. God does not exist. Therefore God exists. :smirk:
November 20, 2024 at 08:49
You are grossly misunderstanding what I said. I never said that perception is interaction. What I said was that we can interact with some objects we p...

Sleep is not a state of total unconsciousness. Your body is fully functional in the biological level while asleep. And even mentally you are not total...
November 20, 2024 at 08:09
But why would you do that? I don't think anyone was saying to access an object in some way other than via the means of human perception. You need to e...
November 20, 2024 at 08:04
You need to explain why the premise is wrong. You cannot just say something is wrong without giving out the reason why. If there is no argument on you...
November 20, 2024 at 07:59
If God exists, then God does not exist. God exists. Therefore God does not exist. :nerd:
November 20, 2024 at 07:57
Aren't some perceptions direct, and some indirect? It depends on the situations and also the objects of perception. Not all perceptions are direct, an...
November 19, 2024 at 13:59
I was trying to understand points in the passage here, but I couldn't. I am not sure if it is linguistic structure or the philosophical point which ar...

Good point. This article on Causality of Hume and Kant has a through explanation on the concept. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/kant-hume-causalit...

An old book has been on the desk for few weeks. I saw the book every evening when I came into the room. But this evening, it disappeared from the desk...

Is God a metaphysical entity? What is the proof for that? Is word God a proper name for God? What does God mean, and which God does it mean?
November 17, 2024 at 08:46
You didn't understand what the figure of speech meant, and kept repeating "the representation of the word". So I gave you the explanation what figure ...
November 17, 2024 at 08:41
I am not sure what you mean by "the representation of the word". What is the difference between word and "the representation of the word"?
November 17, 2024 at 08:39
I was just suggesting a direction for you to take in case you are interested in seeing the physical proof of God's existence. Since you have joined th...
November 16, 2024 at 22:55
You need to clarify what your definition of God is. Your proof of God would only make sense when you have a clear definition of God. The premises of y...

For your information, "brick" was a figure of speech called simile in my sentence. Simile is "a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing...

In emotivist's ethical principle, morality is for emotions, not beliefs or facts. Therefore when you say something is morally good means same thing as...
November 16, 2024 at 11:58
They are. If they are not, I wouldn't have understood you. I did understand what you typed, so they are as real as bricks.
November 16, 2024 at 11:51
The only place I have seen God was in the word, G O D, nowhere else, hence the definition and proof. If you demand proof for physical existence from m...
November 14, 2024 at 21:04
What stops you accepting my proof? Is God a metaphysical entity?
November 14, 2024 at 16:41
Again, it sounds vague. What is your definition of concept? Why are presuppositions are conceptual? Are all presuppositions conceptual in nature?
November 14, 2024 at 13:46
Are they not presupposed in all scientific observations? Reiterating those sounds like just stating the obvious. No scientific observations would be d...
November 14, 2024 at 12:58
Thank you for your confirmation and information on the point. It is an interesting point in Philosophy of Science and Metaphysics. I feel I learnt som...
November 14, 2024 at 11:22
Thanks for the link. Yes, it is an informative content for the point. I agree with the article's point saying "Theory-ladenness poses a problem for th...
November 14, 2024 at 11:13
This sounds like an abstract waffle. You need to explain it further how and why observation is conceptual apparatuses of interpretation. Why do you ne...
November 14, 2024 at 10:15
Observation is historical thinking sounded vague. From the common sense, observation is perceptual act looking for data and collecting data from the p...
November 14, 2024 at 10:06
OK, but your point is not a proof. 100 billion agreed believers have no proof. The OP was asking for a proof of the existence of God. Proof involves p...
November 14, 2024 at 09:59
You seem to be confusing between value and existence. Agreed human beliefs alone don't warrant or prove the existence of God.
November 13, 2024 at 23:03
What do you mean by historical thinking? Could you elaborate further? What numerous presuppositions for what, and why?
November 13, 2024 at 12:03
Simulation or modelling are ideal for verification, testing, demonstration and presentation of the theories. However, they still need hypotheses, data...

They are not metaphysical entities, are they? They have clear definitions, location and boundaries of their HQs and their presence, clearly set duties...

It wasn't me. It was A.N. Whitehead who said that all western philosophy is footnote of Plato.
November 13, 2024 at 10:17
But don't simulation or modelling at the end of the day need observation to be meaningful? Simulation and modelling unobserved by humans don't exist, ...
