Very similar to my previous ones... /uploads/resized/files/fd/54o7gby4nxqhjkh2.png /uploads/resized/files/fm/hol280dp89c6qyt3.png /uploads/resized/fil...
Conservative in the sense that it was spreading itself and keeping with the spirit of other religions of the time, looking to gain adherents and have ...
I don't explain philosophy to them, I just get them to talk about their beliefs, pose non-aggressive but inquiring questions, and so forth. People lik...
Well I did take tendency in an absolute sense, but apart from that I guess I would question that conservatism (or at least my conservatism) prefers tr...
The only way to keep a white post white is to, every now and then, repaint it white no? If you avoid change, you're not conservative at all, ultimatel...
You *may* (but I would dispute even this) be correct about Christianity, but Judaism and Islam were conservative from the very beginning. Although bot...
I don't follow why social conservatives are restricted and progressive liberals aren't. In fact, it makes no sense at all to me. Both are equally rest...
Okay, how does Joe form a belief in God? He tells others that he believes in God because God has spoken to him. If that isn't so, why doesn't he give ...
Sorry but such expressions are totally foreign to me. It gets right? How can something get right? Something may BE right, but GET right? Yes I agree. ...
First of all I struggle to understand this sentence - the atheistic belief HAS right?? What the hell does that mean? And it does follow - because it i...
That implies atheists created religions because the folks who have created religions were the educated - those who could, first of all, write, and wri...
I am saying that if atheism is true, then atheists created religions. Head over to a website like Quora, or Reddit, and so forth, and you'll see most ...
Okay, but then why are there so few atheist social conservatives? Because remember, the few back in the day religions were founded, who were in power ...
Okay, but if they did issue such decrees, and religion itself is a myth as atheists claim, then it follows that they never issued such decrees for rel...
Well most people think I'm right-leaning too, but that's because I'm a social conservative, but I support left-leaning economic policies (anti-corpora...
>:O sorry man but you're quite a funny one! No i don't appeal to a "field". Have you studied quantum field theory? What we call particles are really t...
Yeah the particle behaves spontaneously. So what? That doesn't mean that it's uncaused. It is caused, because something, namely a field, produces that...
You don't understand what uncaused means. Uncaused means that there is no particle there even. If there is a particle there, then that particle has a ...
I think the first one is quite useful since it separates the economic aspects (right vs left) and the social attitudes (authoritarian vs libertarian)....
Yeeeees >:O just like at any point I may become Bishop of Rome! No, they are necessary. The world couldn't be otherwise. This world couldn't. Maybe so...
Well, all that the free-will theorem proves, if anything, is that quantum mechanics is indeterministic. That isn't to say that it is acausal. Science ...
On a theoretical level sure. But on the practical level no. We don't calculate as if the behaviour of individual particles mattered. We deal with glob...
The gas laws model the behaviour of the gas as a whole. To model it as composed of particles is to be able to take into account what each particle doe...
Yes and no. The theory behind it is modelled as particles, but the behaviour of each individual particle isn't used to determine the behaviour of the ...
Yes but in reference to different things. For example, in reference to radioactive decay, since the atom is the main actor, we take the constituents o...
I think there is. In Plato/Aristotle, matter is the raw underlying material, and form is its structure, whether this structure is given by its shape, ...
Yeah - and I never scored heavily on the Right either in the past when I took it. And never heavily authoritarian or heavily libertarian. I did someti...
If atomic structure is the material cause, then what is the formal cause? Material cause is the raw element something is made of. Formal cause is the ...
Maybe you intended something different than you wrote, or maybe I don't know how to understand English expressions - doesn't really matter to be hones...
That's because you, like other physicists, are using muddled up notions of causality. I've explained for example, how radioactive decay, a phenomenon ...
Have you forgotten you wrote this? So science mostly models in terms of mechanistic (or in Aristotelian terms, efficient causation). This sentence mea...
Wrong. Formal cause is still "how". The atom's structure is its formal cause, and it is part of the how with regards to radioactive decay. Your notion...
