Wondering if the O/P is just an invitation to the same old do loop of having someone make a faith based claim, then challenge it based on reason. The ...
just a few things: 1. The big bang is the only valid theory on the beginning of the universe, there is near unanimous scientific support for the big b...
just a perspective check - the top 5 riches people in the US have a wealth of about 425B dollars, at the risk free rate that generates about 30M per d...
If, like me, you believe Modern Monetary Theory is the best explanation of how the economy really works. Concentrations of wealth are extremely detrim...
ok - how about Quantum entanglement which is in direct conflict with GR. Quantum entanglement is real, has been predicted, and experimentally verified...
I know the technical definition of scientific theory - and some/many of them in the past were, in fact, wrong. Think Copernican heliocentrism for exam...
think you are missing the point. Not making a disparaging statement about science. Just making the point that much of what any particular generation b...
So he says finite, you say infinite, and science has nothing to do with it. Not sure I see the logic Lots of words. So the overwhelming scientific sup...
my only point was, you seemed willing to leave scientific consensus to argue against his point. Would you be as willing to leave scientific consensus ...
the overwhelming scientific consensus is the universe is finite. It could not be, but any other possibility would be against today's best science. The...
Two points, in a quantum universe, our reality could be not much more than a giant movie screen, and there can be plane after plane after plane of oth...
I am a theist, and an uncreated creator we can call God, is a reasonable belief for the cause of the Big Bang, but it is not a scientific proof. Scien...
There is almost complete scientific consensus of the Big Bang, down to a very small fraction of a second before time 0. And that is where the physics ...
agree with you both, and on this with Kant. At is core all physics is, is a mathematical expression of observation, and then expanded. You build a mod...
your total objections to the argument were, firstly a complete misreading of an innocuous assumption at the start, and secondly a semantic argument th...
- accept not sure what this adds - will withhold judgement Challenge - Russels argument has nothing at all to do with rejecting evidence in favor of f...
occasionally it would be nice if someone else would actually make a full argument with premises and conclusions that we could debate other than me. Al...
remember this - you liked it about 10 pages ago MORALITY morality itself - is there some level of morality that has a wide application, would be gener...
this is so tiresome - i have said at least 10 times and at least 5 to you - this is a second order discussion - even if the fetus is such a thing as i...
all in your mind, and a lack of a dispassionate reading and understanding of the argument. If you want to do some heaving lifting and re state for me ...
it makes no such claim - it makes no person hood claim about the fetus at all. It is the most popular pro life argument in existence, it is all over t...
all that shows my friend is as many times as i have repeated the argument you have never taken a second to understand it, or the logic. You know it is...
so agreed it is a fact ? The concept of future - as defined as time that has not yet happened is a fact ? We agreed that such a thing as the future is...
the full comment was It is as simple as you Tim Wood have a future, if you do not die, or are killed it, as a matter of pure fact it will happen Which...
Saying there is no such thing as a future is exactly the same thing as saying there is no such thing as time. Taking your point to the absurd. I can s...
Agree - can there only be one thing morally wrong with murder, is this and denying a future of value somehow mutually exclusive. Your point while inte...
OK. thanks the work. Understand your objection that you are not convinced that a major harm in being killed is the loss of your future, due to its amb...
the argument makes no moral claim about the human organism. It only claims than it is unique, and if left to nature has a future much like ours. It ma...
that's OK because all of us can hang back in our comfortable philosophy chairs and debate the relative morality of your life and death impossible deci...
let me give it one more try. The first premise of the argument is just about people like you and me. That is it. The point is to establish if is moral...
you are taking that comment completely out of the context of the conversation I was having with bitter - he said - my response was it was in response ...
is as good a translation of this : as anything. It is a jumble of words without any meaning. You can think of the fetus as a possible person, but you ...
Without amending the situation there is no moral judgement one could make on either course of action the cop chooses. We are all free to opine action ...
So gentlemen, a logic question. If the fetus is not a potential person, and does not have a future, how than can it be a future burden on the mother, ...
not really all that important to my philosophy on the issue. Like most of where the discussion is today, personhood is not an issue. Although often di...
2 things, firstly, when one talks of personhood, one needs to declare if it is being used in a philosophical or legal way, because the stakes are diff...
