Sure, as long as there is a chemist around all kinds of things can be created. But this is not what science is pushing. They want us to believe it all...

The mind is constantly creating new things. You see, Miller and Urey have minds. But science would have us believe it magically just happens. That som...

I guess if everything is unpredictable then there is zero evidence to support determinism. Anyone can believe what they want though. It just becomes a...

I believe it is helpful to fully digest the Scientific Genesis story: A soup of chemicals came together and spontaneously created all life that we see...

Determinists? You know, all those who believe that everything is fated ever since the Big Bang blew its top. In any case, science is quite clear, ther...

There is the observation of the every day creative mind that is self-organizing and working to continue its existence so to create, learn and evolve. ...

If there is such things as a miracle, your story certainly qualities. No different than God creating everything. There is no evidence for either of th...

Great. So there is a mind. Fine. Now, all we have to do is wait until all mind is extinguished and then see if it once again spontaneously emerges fro...

Try doing an experiment without any mind. This is the requirement. To put it another way, all chemicals who are trying to prove there is no mind would...

Great. But it is just an approximation. Everything is always an approximation because everything is in continuous flux. The measurement is "old" befor...

Exactly how do you test without a human mind intervention? One must take the fantastical view that the mind is an illusion, testing is an illusion, an...

Since there is no evidence of this and all evidence is to the contrary, it would be best if you end such statements with an Amen - for accuracy sake. ...

"Hopefully" is the operative word. Everything I say is a belief subject to change and revision. Everything is constantly in flux.

If course. Old ideas die hard. There is no such thing as precise prediction of anything. And all Laws are just approximations that are practical. I ha...

Approximately. That is all. All approximate. None complete. Certainly none that govern human behavior. Again, did you research this or are you just re...

If you are interested in learning about the nature of life, it is necessary to experience it and this takes lots of patience and study. There are no s...

It takes a very brave person to challenge the materialistic-determinist priests that rule academia. Bell and Aspect did, and much to the consternation...

The quantum potential is the probabilistic initial conditions which are equivalent to the Schrodinger equation. It is this probabilistic aspect that B...

There are no equations that describe life. A little issue that materialists-determinists like to avoid mentioning.

Bohm imbedded it in the quantum potential initial variable of his quantum mechanics equation, but I don't believe such an approach had merit. Mathemat...

He is restating a 17th century philosophical faith that someday science will discover the Laws of Nature that will enable scientists to predict everyt...

That is a BIG aside. With quantum physics aside, exactly which laws are you referring to? Which law would this be? Quantum physics says no, probabilit...

Let's not forget quanta self-organizing on its own. Now that it's a bit of a chasm to cross, scientifically speaking.

Life is fundamental. Those terms you use are scientific labels for different types observations of life.

Surprise! Someone doesn't share your faith. But that is the way life is. Some have this faith and others that. You have faith that life miraculous spr...

Such is your faith, because there is zero evidence of this.

Your faith in science is no more or less than that exhibited by the average Church goers faith in God. Lots of hope, lots of beliefs. Pretty strong. N...

Let's be clear. Whatever is happening is the laboratory, and it isn't much, is being created by the existing mind. it is that mind that has to be expl...

Yes. The options are "it just happened". Not bad for the hundreds of billions of dollars spent discovering this. I suppose it will just require just a...

Yes, change its difficult. It takes patience and lots of experimentation. A Yogi gone wrote that Karma is like a every deep lake and the raindrops fal...

One way to view Karma would be "we are the consequences of our actions", i.e. we are Memory, and we c carry this memory through multiple lives. So if ...

Without a shred of evidence to support such an assumption, one can classify this as faith - which is fine as long as it is understood that this is all...

The last group I would defer to are biologists. They are having distinguishing a tube full of sulfur and a living human being. They need the most prac...

Let's see what we have here: Perception is the potential to act upon. Distance is the ability to act upon, or otherwise the ability to change the holo...

That which is self-organizing and creates. Photons (Light) have long been considered the essence of Spirit, that which sparks life. With a little prac...

Actually, I find your views quite in line with most scientific views expressed on this forum, they are aligned, except you haven't learned to espouse ...

Not at all. I'm around searching for new ideas! O:)

Consciousness (or what I prefer Creative Mind) behavior is the movement (will) toward organization and evolution (learning). There are all manner of g...

No one really believe in the robotic movement or determinism. It is the Emperor with No Clothes. People pretend because of economic interests, most es...

Bergson, was a genius of intuition, maybe centuries ahead of his times in visualizing the nature of nature. Through his literature, he attempted to sh...

Mathematics it's an interesting "tool", and like philosophical doubletalk and wordiness, is often used by science to obfuscate, intimidate, and bludge...

What happened is that the science industry locked down academia in total and philosophical academia specifically, leaving no room for any ideas that c...

Such a scenario would be satisfactory for towns where racism is rampant. A group of racists kill someone. Our scientists come in as expert witnesses a...

This was more or less what I was attempting to suggest. The nature of perception is far from a done deal. If you like Bergson, I think you'll apprecia...

There is a difference between the persistence of waves and the persistence of the ocean. While not precise, the analogy is sufficient for creating the...

Mind persists and is continuous. There is no discontinuity. Physicality persists but morphs. Analogous would be waves moving in and out of oceans. In ...

Nothing special. Same old, same old. Says nothing but it does sound really technical. "One of the key properties of dynamical systems is that they are...

Scientific study of agency is a gobblygook designed to take all positions, depending upon what feels right at the time and shower its explanations wit...

I was afraid that would be the case. Suffice to say, the nature of perception is a deep philosophical question as your example suggests - only suggest...

Philosophically your question relates to the nature of perception, what we are seeing, and what we are measuring. As your example illustrates, one can...
