god must be atheist

There is nothing better than settling philosophical arguments by the fireside, with Cuban cigars and a fine Port, agreeing to disagree, or to lull one...

Since our (the people who form "we" in the argument or claim by AS) existence on the timeline of our individual beings or of the species is supposedly...

Oh, a new angle... AS did not argue that there is a greatest number... he argued that there is a greatest number we'd ever need. That is also determin...

Duly noted.

I have to admit, you are a really nice person, A. Smith. (I know that irrelevant flaming is reason enough to delete posts. Irrelevant to the topic. Bu...

I am quite ignorant when it comes to Buddhism. But would it not be the Buddha who had founded Buddhism? After all, it was Christ who founded Christian...

Take the plunge... atheism. Gets rid of a lot of prefab thoughts that force you into illogical thoughts. Not only liberating, but pleasant, pleasurabl...

Granted.

Automatic, dogmatic, same difference. Another whiff from the past. It was a button in the era when people wore large buttons on their shirts, attached...

Let's play a little, simple game. For money, $5 a turn. Who can name the higher number (finite positive integer). You go first in each turn. Sorry, I ...

First time in my life I was able to count from one to infinity and then back. Thanks. And it did not take forever, either.

Proofs don't exist in the realm of empirical observations. Truth (proven truth) exists in a priori considerations. And in a priori considerations all ...

What does the power set axiom state precisely? What IS a powerset? My refutation of the argument does not need the knowledge of the above, it is stric...

The chances are 100 percent. What you wanted to ask was "what are the chances that 100 years ago someone would have known all the people that are aliv...

To be fair, the kudos of wisdom go to Banno, not to me. My wisdom in this case lay merely in understanding plain sentences.

I don't know what you are talking about. You are saying I am stupid compared to Agrippa? If you read my one previous post, you will see that it's quit...

Agent Smith, you read more carefully, please. Agrippa called them three possibilities of proofs. PROOFS. So they are not just a walk-in-the-park, or d...

Sorry, I did not see this. You beat me to it.

So...according to Agrippa. His word against mine.

To say none of the three are satisfactory is an arbitrary, personal judgment. So is the sentence or claim "all three are satisfactory, any one of them...

I think the error in Agrippa's theorem is in Point B. He said, "none of the three are satisfactory." The solution to the problem, or the refutation of...

Jack Cummings: With regard to your original post, this is why most theoretical philosophy textbooks on university campusses come with warning labels (...

Too late. Compliment already taken, even if it had been unintended. No harem done, you only made my day, that's all. Is that so wrong? :-)

:rofl:

we were talking in terms of Calculus, and that is a very integral and important circumstance to my question. Perhaps I should have pointed that out.

Okay, I read it ten times and I think I have a pretty good grip on this. Doxastic - relating to belief, to dogma. It's all clear now.

Flattery will get you everywhere. :-)

I see you point. Calculus uses points to approach; infinity is not a point. You can't approach infinity, as you will never stop. There is no point in ...

I agree that intelligence is not a matter of choice. But faith? I define faith as belief in the supernatural force's conducting changes in the physica...

Can you say this in laymen's terms? I have absolutely no clue what you are talking about.

What Alex says about Chris has been empirically proven. The IQ of the average Christian is below the IQ of the average non-believer. What Chis says ab...

True, but in many a calculus problem and theorem the limit IS infinity.

Okay. Try this: An object is at rest. It is not moving. Now the object is moving at a velocity V. How many different velocities did the object move at...

Okay. Try this: Go to any person (ten times, ten different times with different persons, who are most likely strangers to you and strangers to each ot...

I was thinking the same thing.

You obviously hain't never seen the shit of a well-fed, athletic, giant killing machine of a soldier of aristocratic descent. I repeat, to disseminate...

The ideas involved were demonstrated with examples, which in turn described the next ideas, which in turn were made clearer, then demonstrated. The id...

Broken English is typified by more than grammar failures. It uses words inappropriately, where their meaning makes the sentence nonsensical(1). It use...

With regard to kalokagathós, ??????????? , "beautiful and good." I think the English language also has a word for "Beautiful AND Good": Nice. As in "S...

Not blurry at all. There are no lines here either. Two things that are related are not each other, they are not one and the same thing. And that is th...

My logic has not said anything how to mitigate the changes. Your logic is taking into consideration things you imagine I said but I did not say. I rea...

In light of the above facts: the heat retention of the atmosphere is not due to an increase in carbon dioxide concentration. Whoever came up with that...

You are being unnatural. I am not a climate denier. I am just saying that the climate change is not entirely due to human activity. There are too many...

I prefer to make my own bubbles. Sorry.

Things happen in a bathtub, too.

True. You also don't need mystical experience to be a god, and you don't need mystics in histrionic hysterics that predicts the edicts of deitics.

Precisely. That's what I've been advocating, too, on these pages. Only problem is, Agent Smith, we haven't found this Agent X that causes both. Nobody...

Thanks and thanks. I think my job here is done. :-) I just hoped to have found someone on this site who listens to reason instead of just arguing the ...

Maybe, but I am going by the clip on the Video displayed on the top of this page. That, as far as I can see it, predicts human extinction. That's why ...
