and we are back to twitter. what you really want to do is just argue, it in some way feeds your ego, or feeds some need that validates you. From the o...
Let's not go round and round all day, like twitter. Let's do philosophy . We make an argument to influence others that their view is in error, or to c...
I have no need to support it, I am not trying to change your POV. I have no issue at all with what you believe. I can't prove to you that God is, is a...
But I have a bigger question for you. Why do feel such a need to proselytize me on your atheism. In all the talks we have had on the subject, I have n...
Scientifically - your example is evidence. The evidence is the observation that we 1. knew what we were looking for, 2. Knew what it would look like i...
you made this point on a different thread - matters some what you mean by guessing - i guess ( couldn't resist) here is an example: You and me are pla...
that could actually be the worst philosophic argument I have ever heard. Isaac - I completely understand your point, and I completely disagree. Nothin...
I meant what is the basis of TS's and I think your core belief that all mental phenomena is by definition subjective. TS has already acknowledged and ...
thanks Edward, really. But I'm good on opinions on this topic. I just checked back in to see if my understanding of the base assumption was correct an...
No worries - I think we are fine to agree to disagree now - i just wanted to check to see what the basis of your core assumption was, to make sure I w...
firstly, this is your flying teapot, not mine. It should not be my job to prove your point is false. In pure argument form - I can just remain unconvi...
and as on many many many other things - lack of evidence, is just lack of evidence. And even that is in dispute. And at the core of point all along. N...
I understand what you are saying, and if I have missed it mea culpa ahead of time. But has this point actually been supported here. Again - not being ...
No real issue with all that - may argue some there is some balance point between experience, refection, and attempts at understanding. But of course o...
how about we both stop writing sermons, I will go water my plants, and enjoy their beauty. Contemplate supper, a thought worth the time. Look forward ...
no need, I think Rahner would quite agree with all of that. Rahner's way at looking at some of that, is his point that we humans are both transcendent...
an interesting tangent here is the advancements in AI, and biotechnology. How far away are we from being able to download ourselves into a computer an...
this is very much in line with what Rahner would call - "Anonymous Christianity" worth looking into if you are interested. what Rahner would say is we...
thought you might find this quote but Rahner interesting. "What is made intelligible is grounded ultimately in the one thing that is self-evident, in ...
not sure i am up to this task. And a warning I can't do this without getting pretty religious. Not evangelising here just answering a question. Firstl...
Not argument, just explanation. A tenet of Ignatian spirituality is to see God in all things. When one goes through the Spiritual Exercises, a large p...
Agree - science is very much in the business of looking for stuff that does not exist, and very much not in the business of denying anything with out ...
Ok - thanks for sharing - as in your original faith= guessing I have no desire to argue you over it. You asked, and seem still to be asking me to defe...
That is not an argument for faith = guessing. And has little to do with faith. I agree and have like a thousand times said that there is no physical e...
I am not doing anything YOU said Faith = guessing , with no support, and asked me to prove that it does not - My last post on this - unless you make a...
I will take a deep breath and try to explain YOU asked if any theist would say why they believe I said - faith YOU said that faith = guessing, and ask...
I am not - I have no issue or point I am trying to make. S asked, I said faith - He said that equals guessing and wants me do defend it is not. That i...
make a succinct and cogent argument all in one place about the conclusion you want to show me is true - or go back under your bridge or find someone e...
don't tell me how you would argue - make an argument - you just are trolling me to type something you can throw rocks at. I do not care at all if you ...
I am not making any claim at all, it seems you are - would you care to make an argument that faith + guesswork I would be happy see what I think. But ...
My theism is based on faith - now you can try to make guesswork = faith if you wish. I have never claimed God is, is a fact. And I maintain that God i...
to a scientist they are not the same thing at all science does. All scientific theory - as the best current explanation of a physical state of affairs...
All I ever said is all science says about lack or evidence is that there is a lack of evidence. Many here and elsewhere erroneously believe science sa...
that is a conclusion based on evidence. You a mis-understanding me - I am not saying science will not say something does not exist, but they will only...
I'll take one example of this. Without evidence science does not use words like implausible, incoherent. Without evidence science is completely agnost...
