So, no observer no facts, therefore nothing exists unless it is observed. I like that. :up:

Sorry, I got that a bit mixed up. Retry: So if the picture basically describes the make up of an object, then would it have existed before the object?...

No, I'm not leading in any direction. But if one had to explain where the picture came from, creationism would be an easy answer I think. That sucks. ...

In who's mind? Would it not go back to the brain in the vat creating its surroundings if facts are mind-dependent. Or actual physical objects appearin...

So if the picture is basically describes how to make an object, then the the picture must have existed before the object. So where did the picture com...

Ever the optimist. :rofl:

Wittgenstein said, if I remember correctly from so long ago something about the world being described properly only when it is described down to its a...

But would there not be need of a set of facts in order to make something? Or is it possible for things to just appear?

So objects are independent of their properties but the properties are dependent on the objects.

So which came first, the picture or the thing that is made up in the arrangement described in the picture?

Would that include sex robots and willing slaves? :wink:

I don't. I got used to not having friends since I was young. We moved around a lot so I never got to know anyone really well. I have come to be friend...

Yeah, OK, whatever. I have had enough of trying to clear you highly bigoted, extremely narrow minded and under educated view of the world. You go ahea...

That would be the subject of another discussion, but I think that most of us have heard enough about Banno's red cup for this lifetime. No offense mea...

Like Banno's red mug(or was it a cup). It had a definite size, shape, color but not position. He sometimes left in the kitchen sometimes on the porch....

This changes what is being talked about from the world itself to human understanding of it. The statement should not say, "The world is the totality o...

Ask Trump.

What are the facts about? I can only see one answer.

I never said it did, I said that science can and does investigate anything that there is a possible scientific explanation for. Unexplained technology...

Yes you are right that science does not make claims about the supernatural. Because once the have been investigated they turn out to be perfectly, pre...

If there was such a god, everyone would give unconditional obedience and devotion to it. Humans are by nature worshippers of things that are above wha...

If someone does not try to feed them, they will die of ignorance(sorry) hunger.

"Going from stupid to well-read, what essential classics would get a person there fastest?" Start by calling yourself ignorant instead of stupid. That...

And there you go again, missing the point entirely and continuing to harp on about your assertions that you have never made that science cannot study ...

No I did not. I quite simple asked you how you know there is no god in the physical world. That is not a religious question, but an inquiry about your...

I told him that, he did not seem to understand the concept.

. I think that I made it very clear that I was not looking for religious instruction, having had way to much of that is why I am a non believer. What ...

And I guess I mistakenly thought that science was about investigation in search of new information. But just one question, how do you know that god is...

No I do not, I said that there is no reason why science should not be able to investigate the existence of things. Including gods, ghost and a host of...

Red team says; scientist are incapable of nor should be allowed to opine on the existence of god and are unable to prove its non existence. Blue team ...

According to the way of thinking in those days he was way out of line with what was acceptable. Both by the Scientific and religious leaders. The fact...

Tell that to Galileo. Science has no fixed range of applicability. Everything anything can be investigated scientifically.

Physics addresses the existence of everything. Do you think that the Pope has any better proof that god exists? Most believers state that everything t...

Faery tales.

Everything that is not covered by philosophical pessimism. I would have thought that it was obvious. :wink:

I guess that that is as good a reason as anything. Maybe if you stop staring at your bellybutton you will lean more towards philosophy optimism.

And just which topics might those be? I guess that there is a possibility that it is so, but what do you base this pronouncement on?

I had 5 days of holidays, and it rained on every single one of them. Murphie's Law rules the universe.

Would philosophy not be the disorder and this forum the therapist's office?

Something else about goats that I just found out, they like human piss. https://au.news.yahoo.com/goats-airlifted-national-park-developing-thirst-huma...

:up: :point: :pray:

The Great Goat is, and always has been. He is timeless and exist everywhere at all times. Have a little faith and just believe.

Oh, now I see the light. Of course all i need is faith, the rest will follow. I am convinced, I have become a believer. Hail the Great Goat. Do you th...

As is the case of a god knowing everything, facts that cannot be proven are not facts. Show show your evidence.
