I see transendence and immanence as different but the same, and God as us and not us. The physical and spiritual are two sides of a coin

Time and space are immaterial in us as ideal and outside us as that which is necessary for the world to be

How I visualize self-creation is like having a hole that has itself as a hole, or rather a hole with holes in it which are itself. It revolves back on...

I dont think there can't be nothing. There just is something and asking why is putting ourselves outside something, which is impossible. The world isn...

"Hegel rejected the Newtonian conception of absolute space, arguing that the infinity of space is ideal, but, in disagreement with Kant, Hegel held th...

Yes. I was just offering a philosophical look at numbers

opps, thanks

The whole point of the Copernican principle and relativity is that there is no center of the universe for the reason that every point has an equal rig...

I think there are infinite things we can prove with math and infinite things we cant. But math starts with assumptions and that was my point. There ar...

Let me add another example I thought of from another thread. Maybe numbers are like energy and they become particles so to speak when they are replace...

Words and thoughts about numbers are just like any sentence in language and they depend on how much the person values them. Consider that divination i...

All mathematicians says that numbers exist in some sense, which is the same as saying they have truth value. The struggle over the foundations of math...

1 plus 1 equals two only if 1 and 2 exist and can exist. So things boil down to our world view at the end of the day

Well let's put the rationalist thing aside. How do you know numbers have truth value? Do you base mathematics on philosophy or on itself?

Those two sentences together comprehensively state Gödel system without using equations

If you find the word "rationalistic" insulting, it be interested to know your world view.

I merely repeated my previous post on Gödel. I just reread both of them. Anyhow are you saying they can find a limited number of theorems that they kn...

I said "seem" which means "appears to others' perception"

In his 1931 paper he said he set out to prove that mathematics was inconsistent (aka wrong) or incomplete. Where can the line be drawn with which to d...

What ad hominem?

I feel like you ask for proof for the obvious

You responded to the wrong person and wrote like a Logicist

No it's correct. I stated it boldly to bring out its true nature

You seem overly rationalistic

Gödel already proved that mathematics is either wrong or that there are infinite things that can't be proven. The problem is that they can never find ...

A lot of those into science believe matter is dead unless organic. But nothing is dead and I'm not talking about pansychism here. I'm taking about a w...

If they don't then they approach it from a dead universe perspective and will move in infinite circles (circles which, by the way, are better understo...

Ok. Mathematics is usually practiced as a Platonic type of religious practice. What did Plato espouse? Well he though there was a partition or doublin...

Imagine the ruler going into space infinitely again. The density of the whole is greater than the odd parts of the ruler but the cardinality is the sa...

Logically proving mathematics from the ground up was the incompleted project known as Logicism

From what I understand the terms "ordinal" and "density" are very much related. Wikipedia has articles on these terms but I don't know if you want to ...

Sometimes there is disenchantment with nature in math and science. But nature is truly enchanted. There is no such thing as a disconnected observer an...

It's just about numbers in general vs sets which have infinite density

The theory of numbers. 1, then double one, ect. But a non-dualist or infinitist mathematics would no longer deal with number and I admit I don't have ...

But then mathematics is not one hundred percent truth. Even nowadays infinites things haven't all been worked out fully. Imagine a ruler going to infi...

Well this is a philosophy forum, not a math forum, so we need to try to stick to the basics of the philosophy of mathematics. Stick with me and read t...

Note: German thinkers since Kant (the Continentalists) generally preferred Parmenides, Heraclitus, and Spinoza over Pythagoras and Descartes

I read a lot of German idealism and I strongly feel they were arguing against the possibility of finite existence. Mysticism usually subsumes everythi...

Do you think mathematics of the infinite can be done without finite numbers? I think of units of an infinite set as completely relational to the whole...

Well addition subtraction and the rest mean something for mathematicians, but if everything that is real is just infinite sets a lot of mathematics wo...

Well ye I'm not saying get rid of religion. But we have the right to voice our arguments and feelings Foxholes? I saw someone set someone else complet...

Yes. People want to believe in a God "as they understand it" (NA, AA, ect)

Because it is like saying someone's else's father (maybe Jesus?) is super perfect and is your true father. It's rather intruding

Believing God literally exists is creepy for a lot of us

I would also add that Christians don't think Jesus died just as an example of love or to give us strength. It's about atonement for them. God becomes ...

But then why do people try to prove there is a God instead of keeping it in personalistic terms? When I hear these people it's like they are forcing t...

Religions fight each other

Well God for me is the reason I had for being good as a child. I don't like when people try to prove God

But our independence is important. To be a sheep can become a disease

God is transcendent because he is immanent and vice verse. But when theists make it out as if God exists like a scientific object, out there watching ...
