I agree with your post. As Kant said about the series of past causes, it's indeterminate. We can speculate if it's eternal or not but time itself is e...
Space is a container for matter. It's necessary for matter. Time is an effect that happens from motion. Physicists speak of "spacetime" because it's e...
My point is that there two kinds of good, 1) goods of nature (babies, strawberries, ect) 2) and goods of action, like sacrifice If God contains of the...
I think he is saying that the god of the philosophers is more reasonable than the God of the religions because religion says he creates from nothing. ...
The Greeks seem to be divided between materialists and idealists. Plato, Parmenides, the Skeptics, all seem to be about the life of the mind. Those wh...
Aquinas makes it out as if God is reality itself and there can only be one reality. He also says you couldn't distinguish between different Gods if th...
Yes classical space is what is illogical. Zeno was the first to prove it. Space in order to remain itself has to be divisible. Yet infinite sections m...
If space is not infinitely divisible than there is a space that can't be divided. But that wouldn't be space. So space is infinitely dividable. So it ...
Of course not all philosophers are physicists but I consider all physicists as philosophers of some sort. People were saying "Krauss is not a philosop...
"In space, in which time is suspended, the body is enduring, and in time, in which the indifferent substance of space is suspended, the body is transi...
Zeno showed that space and objects in them appear to be both finite and infinite at the same time. This is why Kant called this an Antimony (an impass...
Spinoza? Plato? I think the former thought that mind and matter were two sides of a coin while Plato thought matter was decayed mental stuff. Hegel th...
The word "beginning" is misleading because there could be a finite universe with a first movement and a material engine of causality but there be no b...
I agree that is the case regardless of what religion one believes. Unless the whole subject of predestination is just a mystery, I think there are som...
The PBS digital series has said that entropy comes from quantum physics, that time comes from entropy, and that gravity comes from time. So it seems t...
Malebranche thought that Jesus' humanity gives grace and since he doesn't think of everyone at once he doesn't give grace to all. His critics retorted...
Hawking's imaginary time turns time into space and nowadays they say this is also what gravity is. So with Hawking's picture the universe is not etern...
Even if matter is more than force or more than energy, we could posit that time is beyond something we can know fully about from physics and that it s...
Classical theists say that deism is wrong because God can't be all powerful and at the same time not know everything. I think God could be all powerfu...
Aquinas says that Aristotle thought God(s) didn't know of our particular lives. That sounds like deism the most. Do modern translations of Aristotle s...
It seems to me that theists behavior appears to be better because of their religion but what if the religion sucks the soul out of them and they act "...
An object is that which has a certain classical cohesion. Most things can be broken down into their substances but not everything. It's hard to define...
You don't have a single original of the Bible so everything you quote is contingent. You have no reason to hold it in regard even if you had all the o...
This sounds like Sartre who said we are nothingness inside of being. It seems to me that we are matter and know what matter is in a very real sense bu...
Internally there is nothing transcending our nature that does not require our activity to create. Externally there is matter which we are. The sole de...
