Well maybe God thought of numbers first so they exist in God's mind? Here's a thing- On the x-axis mark the line 0 to 1. You have one unit made of inf...
Infinity is all numbers together. The whole set, be it Aleph Null or higher. Aleph Null is the natural numbers in an infinite set. Aleph One may be th...
Numbers exist as sets. They are generated by iteration and partition- Start with / Iterate // Reiterate /// Continue ///////////////////////////... Pa...
In Cantor's system counting is not 1,2,3,...it is about a one to one correspondence- 1 -> a 2 -> b 3 -> c etc. If an infinity can be matched in this w...
"3. Reality Requires Observation: The universe exists only when observed. Without observation, there’s only potentiality—an idea resonating with quant...
I once had a conversation online and this guy said that Nietzsche said the (physical) universe does not contain any ethical principle. But he also arg...
The regularities of the laws of nature are, as you seem to imply, often seen as laws like tax laws that are imposed by an external agent but in realit...
I believe in evolution but the Theory Of Evolution is woefully incomplete. I don't believe mutations can create a person, the works of Shakespeare, a ...
If you consider it in terms of photons time travel is not possible. Suppose on Jan 1, 2000, there is a light source at A. Photons travel to B. Now a t...
The essential teaching of religion is The Way. I am the way. It is the Tao or Right Living as the Buddhists would say. The external forms of religion ...
"If you doubt that truth for humans is socially constructed, then answer me this (I would genuinely like an answer if you have one): If truth for peop...
1. consistent replacement of supernatural explanations of the world with natural ones. It is moot whether these natural explanations are such. Each ca...
Well that's just semantics. In common parlance 'science' has a broader meaning and the word is used loosely. Here's a headline: "Security Council meet...
I do. I was responding to this- I'm simply saying that science is no improvement on philosophy/religion when it comes to the big questions. I'm not cr...
Well, how has science answered the big questions such as the ones I pointed out? Science is not philosophy so there's no point in pretending it is. It...
We are talking about the big questions. Philosophical questions. What is existence? What is eternity? Is it conscious? Why is the universe mathematica...
We are talking about the big questions in this thread. Science does not answer them. When science does answer lesser questions it is normally an expla...
I think it is a mistake to absolutize these statements. They are just rules of thumb and there are always exceptions: the iron behind the velvet. Some...
To be precise, science explains nothing either. Science describes the physical world: Hydrogen + Oxygen = water. But what is hydrogen? Well, a proton ...
Like Jurassic Park the novelty of digital art grabs you but it cannot hold for long. It becomes tedious. These days computer art makes me feel queasy....
It is the other war around; the universe is embedded in mathematics. pi is a geometric proportion but it can, with infinite precision, be expressed as...
Human beings cannot discern spiritual truth by their own means. It must be given to them. Philosophy has failed in its task to answer the big question...
Press two north poles of two magnets together. You will feel (close your eyes) something solid between the magnets. Solidity is only energy fields pus...
The fall of creation happened before the physical universe was created. Life in the fallen universe is imperfect because perfection is spiritual, not ...
Hynek suggested they get here via the Astral Plane - what some call extra dimensions or, more traditionally, the spiritual world. Many of the reported...
Some children are bad as soon as they learn how to express badness in a human context. Likewise with some good children. When consciousness loves some...
Well you can call it the source of all that is, if you want to avoid the religious. Personally I think the emergence of existence into being (life) is...
It seems to me that (ontological) space has the potential for any number of dimensions. Physical matter can manifest 4 dimensions. I suspect that dime...
In the 'beginning' existence and God are the same thing. Existence is not a verb, it is a noun. God becomes/creates. Contingent creation is a property...
Physical space is an emergent property of matter. It is a physical object just like a table or a chair. Physical spacetime has an extra dimension, tim...
When we ask 'where' a particle is we must specify which spacetime we are talking about, quantum or physical spacetime. Since particles don't exist in ...
Do you understand what existence is? What a positive existence, as opposed to nothingness, means? If you don't you will not understand what I'm saying...
Existence is not a property of God. Existence IS God. All contingent things are properties of existence. Existence is what is from the beginning. It a...
Generally speaking 'space' is used in two senses; geometric space and ontological space. In physics there are two geometric spaces, the quantum spacet...
There is abstract, intellectual knowledge. There is carnal knowledge. Eat an apple; you know what an apple tastes like. There is consciousness, there ...
