If I cross from A to B there are infinite halves I have to cross. This is easy to prove. The mystery is that it is finite, not that there are infinite...

Reason can't perform a contradiction. That's against its nature

The lengths are still there. How many parts a thing has should finite but Aristotle says its infinite but only potentially so. A part of say a bicycle...

Yes

Then all the parts are there unseparated. Now does an object have infinite unseparated parts

Does what can be parted exist before parting

I already refuted all you just said. It's like talking to a rock. If parts can be divided they are there

God can't be Reason if he can ACT a contradiction.

Yes, I do think he had an organic disease. His use of methal hydrate might have been an abuse for him though which could have weakened his mind. He mi...

Christians believe everyone is a bad person without Jesus. But maybe everyone is bad and turn to religion in order to feel better. Majority does not r...

Nietzsche was a drug user. He took sedative pain killers because of pain in his abdomen

No it's just that I have been in so many discussions about Aristotle and Zeno that I have gotten bored of it, particularly since Aristotle was obvious...

Thanks, good stuff for me to research. I think it goes to show that math, philosophy, and physics can never be separated

Thanks, peace

I can tell what someone's argument is from reading a few selecting phrases. That's why I often respond to key points only

I only read the important parts of replies. A car is not just a car but the mirrors exist in their own right as things. The whole doesn't supersede it...

A potential infinity can't just subsist. That's Aristotle's great error, who in his ignorance lead people to think that a whole only potentially has p...

If the series is infinite and each moment enfolds only to our consciousness, the fabric of the universe in it's eternal state would be infinite. The r...

Thanks for the reply. I don't think infinity is impossible in our universe. It just causes lots of paradoxes if not handled properly. I wish I knew th...

Well you are wrong about Gabriel's horn. Infinite surface area with finite space within! How mind blowing. Whether this is how our universe is or if t...

I didn't say most Jews say Jesus was evil but that its possible that this is their most consistent position logically

Judaism might hold that Jesus was the Antichrist and got his power from Satan. Maybe Satan even gave Jesus his soul back in order to rise. Ancient mir...

If the One is the divine nature and Nous his personhood, then our collective spirit is our social life. At least that is idealism and Plotinus. But we...

No idea what that is.

No. For the divine the irrational is nothing

And who is your "we"? Islam? I imagine you living in Syria as a disreputed apologist for Islam, trying to win people with unwise arguments

He can do anything, Mr tricks at a bar, but irrational things are nothing

Well you keep insisting that omnipotence means god can do irrational thing. And you stare in amazement at people when they laugh at that. You are stuc...

The irrational is impotence for god so he can't do it.

Yep. You're not much of a philosopher

Of course. His nature is infinite, his will is infinite. They create each other in one simple being. But this creation is free and necessary, so the n...

Sartre said there are different versions of yourself out there, each one being the way people see you. I think that you are what others see

You're just saying gods nature is prior to his contradictions, and without evidence

Your interpretation of god's power is very strange and unorthodox. Most theists would call it insane. If god can do anything in your sense than maybe ...

Well then you are in a strange world where science is doubted. Your finite female god with infinite thoughts and infinite power is not the Christian g...

So god becomes evil and stays good at the same time (contradiction?) and in the end damns himself and the world while keeping the world and himself go...

First of all there is a difference between faith and living by probability

I'm not sure you are right. There are different types of infinities so an object might be infinite in some ways but not in others. I hear many physici...

Is time more often than not misunderstood?

I never said faith was always bad, first of all. It's just wishful thinking. Secondly, many Hindus and Buddhists don't believe in God

Believing in people is in no way comparable to believing in God. One is mental health, the other is wishful thinking

All knowledge is probable but science is accurate however much we are in an illusion. Time is a philosophical concept but physicists use it in a geome...

Time might the the activity of minds interacting in the society of their species. Physics makes sense to a degree even if time can only be between lik...

I don't think it is right to rationally analyze a being we know nothing about. If it's a spiritual exercise it's ok but we can't know if this being ex...

Come to think of it, time is relative, so how does it make sense to talk of time existing for 6000 or 14 billion years. We only know how *we* experien...

The Gnostics believed we had God within us, similar to the Atman/Brahmin thing in India. Jung shared this as well. That is why Christians, who believe...

Kierkegaard wrote "so it is the supreme passion of reason to seek a collision, though this collision must in one way or another prove its undoing." An...

Heidegger and Husserl are underappreciated these days. This tradition though started with Kant. I think that Kant's first two antimonies were more a q...

The thing is Zeus might be God and the lesser gods could be each giving miracles to their favorite religions. There is no way to no. I've prayed much ...

Great posts guys! I like the idea that we are throwness and that we are time. The two ideas are very similar actually. Things "that be" are affected b...
