It's shameless to put your sins on God, who would never become man. Jesus was a normal man who did strange things. It was his disciples who put divini...

Entropy was never zero at any time. The chaos that existed in the entropy before proper time was enough for some type of energy to start inflation. I ...

Eugen is highly disturbed that everyone does not see the 'hard problem' the way he does so this Spinoza thing is a way of expressing that. The hp is w...

It comes down to usefulness to society in the States. We don't like people hanging around their whole life. If they can't work that's one thing, but i...

Ok. It's a free forum. I just don't usually see someone asking the same question so many times on this forum. Anyway I'll go do something else, good l...

I mean admit that you will never understand Spinoza. I mean, all the relevant quotes are given above. Why not switch to Aristotle? Do you have an obse...

Why can't you just admit you can't understand this stuff?
April 06, 2021 at 19:28
We have bodies (attribute of extension) and thoughts (attribute of thought). All come from God, who may or may not be consciousness (we can't know bec...

Really? Wow
April 06, 2021 at 19:24
Why do you care if the hard problem would have bothered Spinoza, one philosopher at of thousands? Why not read Aristotle or something? Spinoza wrote, ...

Spinoza said that we know more of how our bodies are affected by the world than the world in itself. Kant's philosophy elaborates this point to great ...

Don't try to figure out free will. There too many monsters of the conscience that interfere with objectivity. Daoists say to live spontaneity, as I re...

NIV, Job 5:18 "he wounds.. he injures" . So God is behind the destruction and the recreation. If nature reflects God, then how can anyone go to hell a...

If that is what sin is. Or is it malicious?

Let me reestablish the argument: 1) God could have immaculately conceived everyone and had them all enter heaven based on their merits and God's favor...

Thanks for the criticism. Its hard to quote when I'm not on the desktop but can do better I think. I think sin is a possibility and so must hell be as...

What makes things move in general relativity. Easy question
April 04, 2021 at 20:58
Then why. You seldom engage others and instead write wordy sophistries. Einstein showed that matter has no objective size but it has objective substan...

Maybe we can't detect a difference between acceleration by force and free fall. But in Einstein system there is absolutely no way things can truly mov...

Einstein said the universe wasn't matter connected by magnet-like forces nor matter moving because its naturally heavy and falls when space is empty. ...

Matter floating in outerspace has lost an element of its substance (heaviness)
April 04, 2021 at 03:50
As explained by Einstein, motion and even objects are metrical and not true substances
