I do agree that Descartes may have had some genuine level of dissociation

Religion seems to me to be schizophrenia trying to cure a misdiagnosed schizophrenia. Someone can certainly doubt if they are schizophrenic, they doub...

Isn't it that we find evidence for things and wonder about things and use reason to connect ideas? All manner of thoughts relate to all the others. On...

So you seem to be saying that there is substantial irony and accidental irony. Is there a Platonic Form for irony? Idn. I was wondering recently if ch...

Freedom implies faith in the face of paradox. Those who erase the paradoxes miss the point. Fate is a meaningless word most of the time

My point was that I can say Jesus rose and didn't rise at the same time because these truths are under a higher truth. That reality doesn't bow to log...

Logic cannot justify its methods. I am Muslim, Catholic, Hindu, and Buddhist. All faiths can be true for me. How am I in contradiction?

One's environment is an example A being true, however there are consciousnesses that exist in that environment who disagree with you on fundamental qu...

Following fate indeed can be a mistake. To be free someone should not be trapped by paradox

So reason is ironic? If so, is that the same as being oaradoxical?

Consideration: absolutism is to relativity as soul is to body. This is proven perhaps by the fact that you can't find the absolute through the relativ...

What if not A, A, and B were all the same thing. This would be nonclassical logic wherein each presupposes the other. This example seems like the Trin...

The premise is "if not A then B". Conclusion: not A, so B

Postmodernism does split intellect into its spheres. Objectivity and reason itself being singular are tightly bound to each other. To learn arithmetic...

It seems to me that post modernism has a faith in the beyond of reason and wants to escape this world, expecting to wake up in it once again. Old scho...

The PBS spacetime YouTube show also says in a couple episodes that conservation of energy doesn't always apply in physics

You do not need a standard for comparison that is universal with regard to speed and time. Everyone going at whatever velocity will have their own exp...

I've been reading Kant today. He says, "Thus the intelligible cause, with its causality, is outside the series; its effects, on the contrary, are enco...

I agree Christiainty rests on contradiction. It is the opposite of what it claims to be. Such sure judgments I doubt we'll find with respect to Buddhi...

I had some revelations today about Nothing. First we can consider objects as essence-less and having only order/structure. The core of the object and ...

"Metaphysics is the science that aspires to dispense with symbols" Henri Bergson, 1903

Rhetoric implies form, not content. There is no clear boundary to what pure logic is except that it deals with symbols

When I mentioned absurdism I was referring to Camus. Buddhist accept the paradox of life and so in a sense do have faith that things will make sense i...

"For by him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or pierrs or rulers or authorities, ALL thi...

Which is inadequate

How do you interpret the last phrase of Colossians 1:16. Why don't you quote it for us

I already gave you that verse! You're challenged. Have a nice day

Everyone already knows there are many interpretations of the Bible. You didn't add any knowledge to the pile with the thread. Anyway, "ALL THINGS were...

And why would the Bible talk about God creating other earth's but ours?

It's right there in the text. Aren't we descendants of Adam? "Place" is rather ambiguous for Jews though. The world is layered with heavens and someti...

Where did Adam's world come from? Genesis says God created it. OP refuted

And that was that

Man created in the same universe described earlier in the chapter.

What about Genesis 1:26, since Genesis is all you read.

Every heresy has their interpretation of the Bible. Everyone reads it and decides on their own which interpretation makes the most sense. One man's st...

So you have a novel interpretations of 100 verses. That's nice

Then who are you trying to argue with with this thread if not against Christian interpretations of their own book? Your new interpretations doesn't ma...

Colossians 1:16 is as clear as you can get unless the Bible means nothing by it's words. You don't read the Bible like Christians and yet you say that...

Hebrews 11:3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible...

Christians interpret the OT in light of the New.

Saint Paul, representing Christians, calls the earth "creation". Isn't that what the OP wanted to know?

"For creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration but not by its own" Rom...

Christians believe with the Jews that this world is a copy of the original because of the Fall. Read saint Paul.

People worry they are not properly understanding Hegel and so give up reading him. But they should instead be confident that your interpretation of He...

It's largely intellectuals that change history. Hegel influenced a lot of people

God did make our world from the Genesis one. Have you forgotten about the Fall and how Paul says the world groans until redemption?

The first verse of the Bible says God created the heavens and earth. Are you saying that this was another dimension (odd) or that God used something t...

A point and any geometric extension are completely dissimilar from each other. It is strange that there is no thing in-between them. A point goes from...

If Buddhism is metaphysical, maybe it can be classified as absurdism. Accepting contradiction as paradox changes how the mind thinks

Maybe the goal is to have maximal vitality of mind, which experiences helps nurture. Emotionalized rationality keeps us always moving forward. One dra...
