So, we uncertainly infer by "fact and reason" that 'The Mind' just happens to be sitting around as First, as not at all physical but now having hyperp...
It fails. Our universe is not perfect, nor it is completely mathematically elegant, for there are superfluous entities in it, along with a lot of wast...
The 'theoretical' Philosophy has no theory in concluding "deemed to be God" because 'deeming' doesn't make 'God'. They may further think they can elim...
Still can't have 'The Mind' as First and Fundamental even as a Potential that thinks as much as an Actual; complexity can't be just sitting around alr...
The 'Essential Existent' is a good label for what has to be. I've also called it the External Existent' or 'G.O.D'—the Ground of Determination. Aquina...

He might, for he liked it here and was making his way around; he didn't know about the Lounge and its threads, so he wasn't Marco or anyone who had be...
The physicists' references are to the 'vacuum', whose zero-point rest energy is not zero. This Permanent thing is the source of all; 'god' is not requ...
The Banning thread closed for comments a few months ago. Saw it here: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/614876 It's shocking; he was g...

The positions don't seem to be equiprobable. 'God' is not even close to having been established; Genesis in being wrong shows divine inspiration to be...

The notion of 'God' has already flunked out due to the impossibility of a composite being First and Fundamental. Not even the tiny proton could be Fun...
It can be touched by noting that the Something is, so either its alternative could not be here instead of it or it has no alternative; thus, it cannot...
thanks. Yes, as I'm noting that 'Nothing' cannot be productive, much less be or even be meant; Thus this is the sufficient reason for the eternal base...
The next step in the analysis would be to have to use the same principle of 'The Necessary Existent' for God having to be, as the mandatory Existent, ...
This would be the beginning of the path to disprove God, that 'Nothing' cannot be, making the base something not to be an option but mandatory, it hav...

We know that the will is usually free to operate, but that doesn't make one 'free' in any deep and non-trivial sense. The will is fixed to what one's ...
Good news! Thanks. On the lengthy and plenty point, that's fixed, plus I've found a way to reference longer poems by just pointing to a link that down...
Yes, that's it, and you are a helpful discusser. What you said about "something profound" as the basis for poetry can be described by poems about poet...
Thanks for discussing. Yes, many of my poems are meant to convey scientific and the philosophical themes in a non dry manner in digestible stanza chun...
That is my main style, not a stream of consciousness, but in ten syllable quatrains that take quite a while to rhyme without the rhyme being an intrus...

The God of the Agnostics I came next upon a God sitting on a high fence, And waved to Him, saying “Come down and talk the whence.” “I can’t; I am stuc...
