But that is just it. People begin throwing out neurobiological explanations for the source of morality, and then we proceed to discuss it. And it isn'...

Then it follows that all of science is complete bullshit. So then, let's agree to never mention science when trying to validate a point about anything...

Ok guy, sure you don't do explanation discussions. But, please go on and explain more about how you dont explain things.

I can agree with that. Perhaps I was overgeneralizing. Yes, but Terrapin and S have no argument after I introduced that article (Intentionality and “f...

Your analysis is on point.

Well, if it helps, I believe in miracles, after-all Trump is president, unfortunately or not.

I argue this is exactly the point. Your failure to convert is an offense to everything they believe, and this is exactly how they betray their faith -...

No, I'm just saying that there is an enormously undefined grey area in which ordinary language operates, and it is a sort of cop-out, philosophically ...

Oooo wweee, you just introduced the aesthetic mode of existence.

I would say, as far as theists hurts themselves with their zealotry, atheists, deep down and psychoactively, desire a deep and meaningful subjective e...

@"Christoffer" @"Devans99" I can't believe how civilised this conversation has been so far. Awesome!!! :up:

I don't think eternalism excludes free will or morality, but that is only because I believe they are not products of objectivity. I should further exp...

Yes, the common theological notions of heaven and hell are very counterproductive. Presentism can account for heaven and hell in a much more real and ...

But the theist doesn't simply want you to regard his argument as reasonable enough to be taken into account, he wants to convert you completely. So, y...

Are you saying atheists believe nothing? I find that assumption to be more fantastical than that God can be proven.

Damn right your not going to convince anyone, but is that really the point? Religion is a movement inward, as Kierkegaard says, it is the "passion of ...

Thanks. That helps.

They will never succeed in convincing atheist. The methodology that atheism relies on has proven itself, but it hasn't been proved. But it doesn't mat...

That is completely reasonable. In fact, I would argue that theist agendas have done more to hurt than help their first cause (did you catch that wacky...

What's the difference between deists and theist?

They certainly believe in their methodology.

Someone said: "the present age has too much knowledge and not enough existence."

I agree. So let's... Indeed. But not in any way that would serve as proof to an athiest. Do you believe in miracles? The question then, is there a par...

For the non-atheist, faith is more like a specific intention in relation to the uncertainty of the unknowable. Atheism is more of a belief that the kn...

I gotta get me one of these. This fits nicely into my point about God's unintelligible intellect. We try, with science, to understand how it happens, ...

But we do if we are going to adequately explain the unintelligible intelligence of God to an athiest.

It's not my theory, but I think it adds interest to the topic. I just take these theories at face value, they hold no real importance to me. But if yo...

:rofl:

Spontaneous symmetry breaking is exactly that. I'm not saying it is the answer to a cause-less effect, but it should be closely considered. How is it ...

But there is no absolute evidence to convert the committed atheist. Either the proof is inadequate and demands more (e.g. the cosmological or teleolog...

That's the general idea. I'm no scientist, but I understand this is one theory of how matter comes into existence, into existence from nothing. And gi...

What about spontaneous symmetry breaking in quantum field theory? That might count as a cause-less effect.

The problem is that the territory and map are qualitatively opposed. The moment you draw the map, it negates the territory by focusing all attention t...

That's not the S I know.

That, also, doesn't sound very empirical. FAIL!!!

You are right, what am I doing conversing with qn insignificant twit.

Its highly likely that you are the best philosopher on TPF.

Doesn't sound very empirical.

Then stfu. Your verbal masturbation is obscene.

How can you experience genetics? It certainly can't be explained empirically.

It is evident you have no answer to how empiricism solved the problem of induction. I don't even think you know what that problem entails.

Just read the conversation between Terrapin and I, that should give you some context.

Someone has no clue what empiricism is.

I never skip a chance to humiliate myself, especially if it means ragdolling and flambaying a meaty sap like you.

whollyrolling is rolling into a hole. I don't think he'll be able to escape.

Ok, then tell me how empiricism solved the problem of induction.

But what has been determined? Why are all the same questions still being asked? Phenomenology is a direct response to the critical errors of empiricis...

Actually, you are wrong. The final outcome of empiricism is absolute doubt or solipsism.

Ok. So, we can say: we create unified concepts by indirectly relating to the concepts of others through utterances, text, etc. Given this, it shows th...

That's hilarious :rofl:
