My post was just my quick interpretation from your quotes. But maybe there are more involved. Later, I will have a read the link in peace and quiet, a...

It is just a matter of the criteria - how large or small the readings, how rigorous or loose the perception of the changes, and also what instruments ...

A good point on the nature of faith. It is definitely more assuring to have faiths grounded on some level of certainty, even if faith is a type of bel...

Wouldn't it mean that whatever happens in the real world, it creates a new real world from the previous state of the real world? Logically I feel it s...

If he is an omnipotent being, he can revive himself instantly. :)

Personally thinking and writing on these topics teach me about basics on Epistemic and Metaphysical logics.

Of course, you cannot experience Omnipotence. No one can. It is an abstract concept, used by the debaters.

We are talking here about the scope of power - omnipotence, what it can do or cannot do in logical sense.

yeah, I suppose if you bring in some other religious God concept, and if the premise is based on that, then the whole argument could become valid, eve...

Sorry, maybe not. Pandeism sounded like some Shamanism religion in Asian countries. I heard that they believe every object has souls and spirits ...et...

It is just a logical argument, not spilling into religion. :)

The presenter made clear that it is not the rhetoric or religious God he is talking about. He is talking about the concept of God in philosophy, and i...

No idea on dragons or ghosts. I personally have never thought about logical definitions of either of them. They are subject to debates and logical inv...

Hmm... I am not sure, if every word is invented from imagination. Some words are invented out of the concrete objects, but some are invented out of in...

The definition of omnipotence is wrong because that is just a word invented by imagination. But in the real world, there is no such a being with that ...

That was what I was saying above.

If a being is omnipotent, he can live forever. If he cannot live forever, then he is not omnipotent. If he kills himself, he stops being omnipotent, s...

Surely if a being is omnipotent, then he can reincarnate himself too. What would be the point of killing himself, when he can reincarnate?

iow It is not possible to know, if non existence is definitely better than existence.

It is pointless to die as quickly as possible, if you had to reborn. If rebirth was some religious illusion, it would be still a terrible thing to hap...

If one lives till old age, then the one is lucky. Many perishes long before reaching old age.

Again, this can be also an linguistic issue also. In English, Science means those subjects which use hypotheses, tests, observations, experiments and ...

Buddhists seem believe, there are 4 different sources of suffering. 1. Existence 2. Desire 3. Ending 4. Path https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Noble_...

If you are doubting about Existence, I think you are practicing Metaphysics. Objectivism is just multiple agreed subjectivism.

That book will take many days to finish, if not many weeks. It is almost similar amount of pages as the Bible. Still a great book. Anyone can read thi...

There is an undeniable evidence that you exist. Sure. You proved subjectivism is not always sophistry.

But if you didn't exist, how would it matter to you? How could you have known it, or even written that post?

:fire: :fire:

I feel that they are all important part of Philosophy. Epistemology without metaphysics would be meaningless. Objectivism doesn't exist without subjec...

I used to think pattern was for images and forms, not for the words or meanings.

Do all emotions have their causes? Perhaps some don't? Such as feeling "nothing". Chould such feelings be regarded as emotions? Are some emotions are ...

In Hume's case, I wonder if he was forced to admit that the idea of Self does not exist, because in his system of perception, every perception comes f...

I feel that there are some topics in psychology that science cannot handle such as the problem of self or subconsciousness or explanation on the premo...

What do you believe as the causes for emotions? Are some emotions caused by purely bodily states? Some by thoughts and perceptions? Do they have some ...

Can the framed beliefs without objective evidence and rational verification be subjects of the philosophical debates? Should they be in the realm of o...

Enjoy your drinks. Gracias. Hasta la vista.

Aha - they are from the Old Testaments, which are the scripts. I thought you are claiming to be able to observe the entailed changes now, by yourself ...

In possible world, they do. Everything is contingent.

I know this is my hands in front of me. :clap: (waving and clapping). I am not thinking anything.

When some entailed changes are observed, it seems impossible to tell exactly what was causing the changes due to above mentioned undefinedness, vaguen...

then the rest of the sentence cannot be known.

What if those entailed / observed changes are by some other unknown / unverified causes such as super natural forces, ghosts or paranormal existence? ...

A great and interesting post. Thank you.

Faith is the belief without rational and verified evidences by leaping into the abyss unconditionally and blindly. Would it be rational / possible try...

Here is a quote, I found. “If one must have faith in order to believe something, or believe in something, then the likelihood of that something having...

"What does it all mean? - a very short introduction to philosophy" by Thomas Nagel, OXFORD

I used to think the Oxford Handbook Series were for the new articles on the Philosophical topics. But found out that they are mostly 10 - 20 years old...

Sure. An inspiring and deep thought on the point. :up: :fire:
