In the regular uncapitalized natural selection, it is the 'selection' that is the scientific alternate to ID, meaning, too, that evolution doesn't wor...

If 'God' given free will is truly free, and unconditionally meant, as what we take 'free' to be, then any other attempts of the religion to have rules...

Good on the equivalence, but more correct to substitute 'mass' for 'matter'. In e=mcc, 'm' is 'mass' and the equation is indeed showing equivalence, n...

It does appear that eternalism is so, given that 'what is' is all there is; however, there is no doubt that we experience time, which makes it to be e...

That's really the point, that not anything can generate itself, so, we are left with 'what ever is' as a truth and a proof that 'something' has no alt...

Good conclusion, for there is no alternative to 'what is', such as a lack of anything, and it's doubly shown since there is not only something but als...

Good post, Lisa.

The 'something' is not optional, for there is something, plus 'nothing' cannot even be meant. What is objective is what is common to all; if its degre...

That the will (brain) is free to operate seems to be all the 'free' that one can have. Strawson is saying that we are not responsible for what we've b...

An Eternal Basis has to be so, For a lack of anything cannot sow, Forcing there to be something permanent And partless, from which composites can grow...

The Permanent is all that there is, Its transmutations a temporary fizz. It can’t have direction, with no inputs, So, it's super-posed, seeming a Wiz.
September 12, 2020 at 18:44
Yes, for the contents of consciousness are compositional, that is, the parts come together into a unified whole. Consciousness's value to us for survi...

You might call it 'G-O-D', for 'Ground Of Determination', or just the latter, to avoid confusion. Yes, 'Potential' for particles—particles are like a ...

As in the proposed case of covariant quantum fields, the Fundamental can't have any parts, and so needs to be such as a 'wave' or a 'field', being sim...
August 29, 2020 at 18:54
As @TheMadFool mentions, the Fundamental has to be the simplest. Look for higher beings in the future, not the past, as all evolves toward more comple...

The old Newton Absolute of an inert where/space went away. All is field, thought Einstein. A good guess seems to be that fields themselves, and only t...

We note that things change, of course, but this implies some kind of thingness about things. Well, perhaps that apparently worthless sentence is a clu...

The Timeless cannot be any one state in particular because there is no input point to what never began, so, it is everything, and we go on to note tha...

June 23, 2020 at 19:13
Yet, the timeless needs be everything, which thus has to be all-at-once and ever, such as in a superposition.

We can see Nature and that it Rules. It sent a plague of locusts in Africa that blotted out the sun, 100 degrees F in Siberia, a killer virus, and eve...

It would have to be instant; no perceiving; no figuring out; no processing at all.

Presentism is the temporal mode of time, there is only now; the future is not yet and the past is gone. All is generated anew, as the new now from the...
January 26, 2020 at 03:20
I'm just saying that I've treated the presentist mode of time, so far, and so the only hope lies in the eternalist mode, wherein every event/path of E...
January 25, 2020 at 23:30
That's the presentist outlook; now, if we are to get around that, we need to consider the eternalize. viewpoint, wherein already complete events are s...
January 25, 2020 at 21:53
Of course, we only experience what's already past. Merely, light finite speed takes care of that by itself. Then there is the 300-500 millisecond dela...

'What IS', even if it's just capability/possibility needs to be timeless and eternal, as 'ever', for it is mandatory, as the default, given that there...

Yes, and in opposition to 'being'/'is'. It appears that what 'is' has no alternative, else there wouldn't be anything; so, it's not just that 'is' is ...
January 12, 2020 at 17:18
Yes, it seems that everything exists at once, as all possible paths/events, in no time, as eternal, which we can logically find out since what has no ...
January 11, 2020 at 22:04
Am still for an idea something like yours above. An eternal everything that can't come from anything seems rather similar to amounting from/to nothing...
January 10, 2020 at 18:57
Given no point for Everything to have any input, since it can't have a beginning, it must be everything in a superposition because it cannot be anythi...

The solution apparent is that what 'IS' is every particular, every path, and every event all at once and ever, that presentation then necessarily havi...

Well, my consciousness depends on my brain, body, etc., else there isn't any. Also, I confess that I am an automon.
