I asked the same question to my science professor, who is very religious. He said that one could be a believer but still be a man or a woman of scienc...

Maybe that "something" is imperfect on its whole, but if we consider the fact that he is imperfect as a source of perfection we may consider it perfec...

I personally don't believe that a God played any role in the apparition of life on earth or in evolution (I am saying this because maybe my post sugge...

Well, you're actually correct. Darwin created the basis of the theory of evolution, but it doesn't do science any good to hold on to Darwin's ideas an...

Thanks to all of you for the interesting perspectives and pieces of information you have provided me with! I have just realized that the word "happine...

I wouldn't either, because I value truth as well and I wouldn't give up truth to have happiness. If you are someone who cares about believing the most...

Just finished reading "Le Père Goriot" by Balzac and currently reading a book on Darwin and Darwinism. Started but not finished yet (but plan to finis...

In the small scale the "not giving a fuck" model works, though. It makes those who apply it happier and less stressed (I speak from experience).

We'll that's for sure! I am personally trying to pursue this way of life and it's actually working out pretty well. However, wouldn't you be happier i...

Can't we solve the paradox using the concept of infinits and of limits? Like, Achilles first covers half the distance from the tortoise, then he cover...

There's no need to apologize, really!
July 13, 2019 at 19:25
Well, yes, we do have a lot of problems in the South, that's what I was saying. I am Sicilian and the stereotypes foreigners have about us do not make...

Well, the consent thing is something I don't entirely agree on as well, but I also think that giving birth to another human being is a matter of respo...

If I understood correctly what you meant by "consent to be brought into existence", I think that we cannot talk about giving consent in such a situati...
