Would it still be reliable, when you need rational thinking? If so, how? I don't really understand how Mathematics could just define absolutely everyt...

In what way, is Baye's theorem flawed?
March 30, 2019 at 23:40
Not really the reason why 50/50 as a mathematical proposition is right, but in epistemic justification is wrong.
March 30, 2019 at 22:52
Possibility is different from probability. Remember that. It's fair for both extremes because there is no evidence to disprove a god, only theories. T...
March 30, 2019 at 22:50
Yes, you are correct. Mathematician and Philosopher Edmund Husserl, proposed that although science aspires to find certainty in the cosmos - using emp...

A mathematical statement is permanent, it cannot be tweaked unless it's former terms are altered. The creation of the universe isn't, so sometimes ded...
March 30, 2019 at 11:44
That's the problem. You suppose 25% defines the blood stain on the shirt, that doesn't mean it creates a definitive number if it makes up 25%. You par...
March 30, 2019 at 11:41
I don't believe the reason you mentioned, is an epistemic, it's logical, but not epistemic. What you always identify to as an epistemic involves the p...

Just for you to see, I am a theist. Like; a theist who's beliefs revolve around faith.
March 30, 2019 at 10:23
Do you believe, that it is logically possible, to comprehend the origin of the universe, solely by statistical calculations?
March 30, 2019 at 10:22
So, you are saying the creation of the universe can be, not of a god? okay, fair enough. That helps my point, it can be of the existence of God, Allah...
March 30, 2019 at 10:07
If the distribution of cases is low, what makes it different to the existence of a god? Two completely different viewpoints that could explain the rea...
March 30, 2019 at 09:42
That's the thing, you don't conduct an equation for the existence of a god. It's not two marbles with three factors telling a truth about them that pr...
March 30, 2019 at 09:22
If your starting point, despite they're equidistant, is arbitrary because like what you admitted, philosophically questionable as it doesn't consist o...

which branch of Christianity do you indicate? for surely, the pastor's role will definitely be selective towards their audience. They choose a particu...
March 30, 2019 at 08:58
Do you understand what we're saying though? Mathematically, that may be true. But philosophically, it is questionable.
March 30, 2019 at 08:55
I guess (Just an educated guess, I could be entirely wrong) what he is saying is the confusion of potentials and the philosophy of Mathematics. You're...
March 29, 2019 at 22:20
I assure you, you will be.
March 29, 2019 at 11:22
Oh and by the way, my argument for God will be posted as a discussion. I will select more arguments as per needed, I have a few below my sleeve :lol:.
March 29, 2019 at 11:13
I mean, I could just blurt out faith but then that wouldn't make any sense, philosophically, would it? To me the most compelling reason is just our pl...
March 29, 2019 at 11:05
I'd be happy to discuss this as well, it's really interesting. I suppose a god exists. I acknowledge my suppositions can possibly be wrong, but nothin...
March 29, 2019 at 10:40
I believe in God; the christian god specifically in the roman catholic belief that's monotheistic. I believe in God solely by faith. The god named God...
March 29, 2019 at 10:17
Furthermore, we know it's complete madness when we acknowledge the fact that saying our mad thoughts out loud would cause repercussions, let alone bui...
March 29, 2019 at 09:51
I guess what I am implying is that the presence of our dark thoughts is only known by ourselves alone. No seriously, nobody knows the most peculiar, a...

If cooled down then the concept of pedophilia is refined, therefore not the maximum idea is portrayed. Pedophilia, unless portrayed to convey a messag...
March 29, 2019 at 09:26
That is insensible. If there were no difference, then a person who is opinionated that pedophilia is an art, has it's validity about creativity and lo...
March 29, 2019 at 08:01
I am a theist. I believe in God and I am in a religion - so we have different perspectives.
March 29, 2019 at 00:25
Karl Popper's theory of falsificationism If a theory cannot be disproved or falsified - It is not scientific. This is true as the existence of God is ...
March 28, 2019 at 23:49
By representation do you mean, something reprising a role of a primary subject or merely just an assumption?
March 28, 2019 at 08:59
The events of our creation was caused by this causer, so I apologise, I don't understand. If he created us, which if you are theistic or not, that is ...

March 28, 2019 at 02:56
Take Aquinas' argument on God's existence. The theory of causation and motion - that things has happened because of a necessary being making that happ...
March 28, 2019 at 02:53
To add, something necessary would be like a Mathematical statement. As a mathematical statement cannot be contradicted unless its beginning terms are ...
March 28, 2019 at 02:38
The difference is the state of being. Contingent beings like us human beings, do not correlate to godly principles. Necessary beings like God or a god...

A prayer of thanksgiving is gratitude for the things you have today which logically, is because of prayer - or God's (regardless of what god) actions....
March 28, 2019 at 02:28
Negative. A prayer should be in a form of request and when granted by God, it is a gift. Although this theory somewhat contradicts with free will and ...
March 27, 2019 at 21:09
So we have reached an agreement.

I do believe that as a girlfriend — she should not make an evaluation immediately and should take it for a while and see how it goes. I also think tha...

So the man is wrong for being excessively drunk, which is occasionally, yet not right for acting with chivalry and respect when he is sober? Personal ...
March 27, 2019 at 06:04
I would gladly participate into that discussion. It gets complex by the time where you know who the people are on the railroad, how personal motivatio...

I apologise, I don't understand. Determined meaning permanent dogmas that can't be contradicted? I merely just extrapolated the distinction of moralit...

In my opinion, language does not necessarily conform to being part of a country. Not speaking the language, does not affect a person's compliance to b...
March 26, 2019 at 22:47
That is considerably, the most passionate answer. As opinions from other people do not really matter, not because it's your life, but because you feel...
March 26, 2019 at 20:53
So the evaluation of morality or, criticism having any merit, depends on your ethical perspective? These toxic attributes I mentioned, can either be a...
March 26, 2019 at 20:43
Please do say I am wrong if I am. Isn't a set of laws and principles agreed upon people, morality despite motivation? and ethics being still a moral p...

March 26, 2019 at 10:24
Thank you so much. That has brought me closer to a conclusion. The only thing I still want to know, is that should one necessarily be moral and the ot...
