@"Baden", do you want to join the course in Agulogic? It costs $5000/person. Join and you'll revolutionize your life :D
September 28, 2017 at 13:32
Yeah, it is :-O
September 28, 2017 at 13:28
Yes, but there's many Americans around here ;) - so just to be clear lol.
September 28, 2017 at 13:28
Yes, that always happens. I once kicked a soccer ball up in the air and it fell on my head...
September 28, 2017 at 13:25
Be careful, you might miss and the stone may land on your own head >:)
September 28, 2017 at 13:22
Don't worry, you still have your pet theory that myself and Thorongil are the same person...
September 28, 2017 at 13:19
Right, I expect you to then renounce all scientific truths, because you just read them in some books and don't hear them directly from God. Therefore ...
September 28, 2017 at 11:11
There's no reason to disagree with special relativity for the simple reason that we have never observed light traveling at a different speed anywhere ...
September 28, 2017 at 10:16
Why? You have not sketched out yet why this primacy of philosophical time over scientific time. The point is that it can't be felt. The clock as such ...
September 28, 2017 at 10:13
A revelation has nothing to do with who it is coming from. You seem to think that if someone hears the voice of God, and the other reads the same thin...
September 28, 2017 at 09:56
A text is revelatory if its meaning shows or points to things that are otherwise hidden. The Biblical text does this.
September 28, 2017 at 08:34
This opinion is hardly worth even refutation. If you cannot see the intricacies and wisdom of Ecclesiastes, Proverbs, or the Book of Job to name just ...
September 28, 2017 at 08:31
The Biblical story is not a myth. And this isn't only because the Biblical story is true (whereas myths are false), but rather because it serves exact...
September 28, 2017 at 08:27
Sure, if you consider the tree that I see outside to be only my opinion, then you can say this too is only my opinion. :-} The truth is that all Chris...
September 28, 2017 at 08:16
A non-question. You don't understand any part of the puzzle, but you do understand how they can fit together, and once every piece is in place suddenl...
September 27, 2017 at 20:55
No Christian claims they are the words of God. The Bible is divinely inspired, not written by God like the Qu'ran claims to be. So I think you're conf...
September 27, 2017 at 20:39
Most of these Christians do not disagree about the general meaning of the Word of God though. I think if you look carefully you'd be surprised. You ha...
September 27, 2017 at 20:30
Not in an accelerated frame of reference. Yes, spacetime does have to do with clock time. It explains that clocks move slower in certain regions of sp...
September 27, 2017 at 18:14
It's funny how all the insecure atheists jump in here to add their vote to the ballot that it's not the Word of God, without probably understanding wh...
September 27, 2017 at 18:01
That's false. According to GR, the accelerating reference frame is privileged. In an accelerating reference frame it can be distinguished who is at re...
September 27, 2017 at 17:58
I don't understand your question. Any text, regardless of what it is, must be interpreted. Even a simple command such as "Fire!" must be interpreted. ...
September 27, 2017 at 17:53
Will the one who travels close to the speed of light be younger than the other one upon his return? I don't care what theory you consider when answeri...
September 27, 2017 at 17:43
Okay, I'm not going to dispute that, at least not now, but I've asked you something different apart from that.
September 27, 2017 at 17:36
What counts as scientific time? And would you agree that if I take a man and fly him close to the speed of light he will age slower than one that rema...
September 27, 2017 at 15:44
Read René Girard and quit philosophy >:) "Since the attempt to understand religion on the basis of philosophy has failed, we ought to try the reverse ...
September 27, 2017 at 08:51
I don't follow you here. What do you mean time holds no real significance? And what does this have to do with time dilation? Hmm yeah, agreed. :-O Tha...
September 26, 2017 at 12:04
The notion of past and future are tied to memory though. We know about the past, and by extension the future because we have memory. Without memory, t...
September 26, 2017 at 11:58
Now those few people here complaining about Special Relativity, you should watch this (and after drop the tin foil hats): https://www.youtube.com/watc...
September 26, 2017 at 11:55
Obviously, the time in question would not be the time physics and the materialist deal with. Before the creation of the Universe there was no time for...
September 26, 2017 at 11:53
No it's not. Simultaneity is ultimately a fake concept because physical time itself is relative. Simultaneous in one reference frame isn't simultaneou...
September 25, 2017 at 21:01
Yes, that's why in my second repetition I said: The prior conception you quoted wasn't of the Bergsonian notion. This one is, and since time is relati...
September 25, 2017 at 20:16
Clearly it is the feels like something! :P When you ask "what is" you can only answer in terms of other things. So if you ask what is an apple? I can ...
September 25, 2017 at 14:16
Yeah, the fantastic thing is that mind emerges from mindlessness (according to some), which is effectively nothing more but the belief that something ...
September 25, 2017 at 13:35
Hmm, yes I see your meaning now, and I would agree. Oh I see. Well, Plato also knew that that is the case for most people. I'm sure he wasn't that nai...
September 24, 2017 at 21:44
The more interesting question is where is 180 Proof? And Mariner hasn't been very active either, although he has been here now and then.
September 24, 2017 at 13:55
Yes indeed. But it's something that has been coming for a long time Wayfarer. Darkness is finally starting to lay hold of the world properly, but it h...
September 23, 2017 at 11:07
Oh well, if you sense of injured justice will make you feel better while in the center of the pit, sure, why not? >:)
September 23, 2017 at 08:28
Nope. Do you know the life story of Dostoyevsky? He was saved from death row right before it was his turn. Sure, so what? The gods pick and choose who...
September 23, 2017 at 08:26
Well why do you think because of LSD you'd be in a worse position? I think you might be in a better position because of diminished fear response.
September 22, 2017 at 20:37
Ahh see - the LSD helped you :P Well, I would say that's right since life is very fragile.
September 22, 2017 at 20:30
>:O >:O It is hard to imagine though. I have a family member who is almost 100, and he suffered a stroke recently. He has recovered very well, but I c...
September 22, 2017 at 20:27
Well to tell you that dying doesn't scare me is stupid. I doubt there exists any person who does not feel fear somewhere along in the process. It's na...
September 22, 2017 at 19:37
What if you go to the fiery pit? O:) >:) https://preview.ibb.co/iY1b9Q/tt.png
September 22, 2017 at 19:31
>:O Did you actually panic when you saw that? My prediction: I don't think you really panicked, maybe you were just very afraid, but you still believe...
September 22, 2017 at 19:28
If such was the case, I don't think they would care after they're dead, but they would obviously care while alive, because they will have to live with...
September 22, 2017 at 19:16
Okay. However please note that politics isn't much the right word, their main difference runs along their ethics. Plato has an ethical disagreement wi...
September 22, 2017 at 19:03
Hmm, that is indeed an interesting scenario. There are two kinds of men who would declare that. Those who really don't care that they are cowards, and...
September 22, 2017 at 13:58
Ohhhh, I see what Posty is doing there.
September 22, 2017 at 13:48
Why is the computer on the bed? :P
September 22, 2017 at 11:17
I am a Platonist to a certain extent but I am at the same time a believer that unless the stars have aligned, so to speak, you will fail in your endea...
