It's due to the very fabric of space expanding. It's likened to a balloon inflating. So nothing breaks the speed of light limit but things on the oppo...
Different dictionaries have different definitions of supernatural. Here is one: Definition of supernatural (1) : of or relating to an order of existen...
A fair point. I suppose I could resort to the light cone argument but then effecting something outside your light cone is impossible and omnipotent us...
Supratemporal is timeless. There is a little about it in relativity: photons are timeless, but really we have no idea how this could work. Which is a ...
Islam's Allah is meant to be the same as the Christian God / the jewish Yahweh - Muhammed was continuing a traditional god rather than defining a whol...
You can deduce stuff from false arguments by conjunction introduction: 'Trees walk' - is false But 'Socrates is a man OR trees walk' is true. https://...
Yes if a logical error is made in the derivation. There is a set of valid derivation rules called syllogisms. If you don't stick to these rules you ge...
If an argument is derived from valid premises and the derivation is valid logic, then it is a valid argument. Anything following on from it is also va...
On Russell, I would have phrased it a bit different; its possible to be very intelligent and very wrong at the same time. There is no basis in logic f...
I said: 'All you have to do to disprove God is show the universe is not a creation'. Yes I know, thats because is a creation :) There is a long histor...
God created the universe. It is impossible to create anything infinite (because you would never finish doing so) so the universe must be finite. So in...
So Jesus is not infinite and Jesus was a part of God. That means God cannot be infinite (because ? / 2 = ?; IE any division of infinity is itself infi...
? / 2 = ? ...according to conventional transfinite arithmetic (which is wrong IMO). But the conventional math would suggest if Jesus was a part of God...
One of the two holy texts should say: 'The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster' or the 'The Loose Canon'. If Timeless Flying Spaghetti Monster exis...
There is quite a theory to it: "The central creation myth is that an invisible and undetectable Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe "after d...
So Jesus is a 'portion' of God rather than the whole of God. So Jesus is not a faithful copy of God - the part is not equal to the whole. By creating ...
'God - NOUN 1(in Christianity and other monotheistic religions) the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the supreme b...
The teapot argument is I think about the some of the ridiculous claims made about God in conventional religions. Once a realistic definition of God is...
Nature is the contents of spacetime. Spacetime was created in the BB. By something not of spacetime. IE something supernatural. So we can't dismiss th...
The Big Bang looks like empirical evidence for an unnatural first cause: - Natural events come in pluralities. The BB was a singleton - Entropy was un...
I think an argument contrary to conventional religion can be made for 3 out of 4 Os: Omnipotence - Could God create a copy of himself? If he did creat...
All you have to do to disprove God is show the universe is not a creation. There is a long history of theist justification for the existence of God, p...
- AIs based on neural networks need training. We should be able to train this type of AI into behaving morally - If we fitted the AI with an "off swit...
It could in theory happen any time - some researcher somewhere comes up with a true AI. And with all the world's computers linked by the internet, a h...
There is the question of whether it is eternal life with the option of escape (IE death) or eternal life period (with no possible escape). I take it y...
I think its a very natural drive; self preservation is our number one instinct, so its not surprising the instinct extends to beyond the grave. There ...
Why do you keep dying? What if life is but a dream and dying is waking up? Maybe you go through an arbitrary large number of deaths, each time awakeni...
Your problem is you are just considering isolated elements in the chain and saying yes, they each have a predecessor. So individually it makes sense b...
"In geometry, a line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct end points, and contains every point on the line between its endpoint...
For any shape you can choose an arbitrary start and end points. For example, a triangle, I can choose its tip as start and its base as end. Why do you...
Yes thats possible, but you might have to account for the problem of now: It seems we can tell the difference between then and now so there must be so...
With a line the start and end points are separated by the line length. I'm doing the same with a circle: take a point as the start, add the circle len...
Yes, infinite regresses in time are just unsatisfactory / impossible. Where is the first cause? Circular time appears self-sustaining with the last ef...
- I could say the beginning is 0º. Then adding 360º to that I get to the end: 0º, which is also the beginning Or equally: - I could say the beginning ...
By spotlight I mean a cursor or current position indicator corresponding to 'now'. So the idea is that all of time is real in a sense and has a circul...
A circle has an arbitrary choice of beginning/end points - choosing any point is valid as a beginning/end of a circle. It's conventional to put t=0 (t...
Where does the moving spotlight begin? Maybe at t=0 the Big Bang. Then the circle of time fills out and then repeats itself (or maybe the whole thing ...
In the OP I calculated 28% but that is probably on the generous side... I was hoping by the end of the discussion to arrive at a more accurate estimat...
I'm not quite sure what you mean; where the spotlight falls on the torus is 'now' with before and after falling to each side of the spotlight. Perhaps...
