Maybe the universe is really one infinitesimal, a land before time. B Theory, GR, ect.

The OP tried to cram the teleological argument into the cosmological argument to form one argument. They are not necessarily connected. And he said th...

. Like the proverbial donkey between two stacks of hay. Ye, i don't know. We aren't donkeys

Shouldn't you guys be talking to the moderators instead of creating threads?

General relativity to my knowledge says objects don't have objective size and location, and the outward appearance of things have an objectivity that ...

I was reading Napoleon Hill's interview with Andrew Carnegie and they were talking about synthetic imagination vs creative imagination. Synthetic imag...

Bertrand Russell for one thought that our thoughts and so our creations can never capture reality fully. That was his form of realism. The real is rea...

I want to clarify that Zeno was a relativist in the sense I am describing because he asked what infinity divided by the finite was and what the finite...

I know the Thomistic God doesn't exist because since he sustains the world he would also have to sustain child rape in act, which would contradict his...

Choosing to meditate could be selfish or selfless. Our genes are designed for reproduction, but an endless future with no human rights or happiness in...

Ok this is my last contribution to this thread. You can't logically connect.. (1) The world can't begin without an intelligence with (2) the structure...

Why not a form of panentheism like the Hare Krishna movement held (and George Harrison), an inbetween position between Hinduism and Aristotle?

Why can't energy as we know it be eternal in the form of God's body as Mormons say? Simple question. Btw I'm Italian too

Maybe gods get along even though they are not one substance? Maybe, since the holographic principle was mentioned, we should consider the Eleatic One ...

I've never read Heideggers lectures on Parmenides. Would Zeno's paradox demonstrate a concealment of being for him? The Eleatics didn't like space or ...

The Grace is a substance of sorts that presents God to you. Natural light does no such thing as far as I can see. God might be an energy, rarified or ...

Well the celestial realm is supposed to be filled with God's light, which is grace. I don't see how you get from natural light, even if it's pure ener...

I think it's possible reality plays with us. That's what I learned from Kant. It could keep its inner secrets hidden all awhile we are over here with ...

Marco you keep mixing science with philosophy in an attempt to win over people. First you describe the universe, then you say "how can this be without...

Why can't God be made of energy?

There is no evidence Jesus did any miracles because (and here comes my extreme sceptical claim) you can't translate ancient texts. Jesus may or may no...

Thanks! I often feel robotic and am interested in techniques to awaken my consciousness and I guess my free will too. Got to use free will to find fre...

The Liar paradox thread on this forum might throw a monkey wrench into this. Not sure

Let me clarify what I wrote (since it's my thread I better keep it neat). I am Catholic by nature in a majority of ways. That's how I was raised. I do...

I think they are arguing against psychologism https://www.google.com/search?q=psychologism+mathematics&rlz=1C1OKWM_enUS867US867&oq=psychologism+&aqs=c...

The Light is not grace. We are asking for proof of a supernatural order. So you know what that means?

Martin Luther's scrupulosiry created Protestantism. Quietism, although heretical, is often the only answer to such a condition. Have hope it's not des...

Right. That is why I said on this forum "free will is a type of multi-tasking" and yet "the reason, or super-ego, can propose things as possible which...

Strange ponderings but I think correct

Psychasthenia can especially make free will hard to understand

Back to the question at hand, scientists argue that there is infinite time in a black hole. That's a mind-blowing idea. Reality is far more complicate...

I don't know either way

Freud argued thusly

So is the Holy Spirit and Jesus our father or not?

I wanted to repeat my point that evolution may be leading us towards a more intuitive way of understanding the world, as opposed to a mathematical und...

Fascinating

That's one of Aquinas's argument. "One world, therefore one God" basically. I don't find it convincing at all, especially considering that the Trinity...

Explain

Like Zeno, I think Heidegger started with the world and thru it's deficiency found Existence (a clearer word than Being). This was the path of Parmeni...

You are not a philosopher and you have no comprehension of the logical alternatives to believing in bodyless supernaturals

. Good points. The Eleatics were too abstract for Heidegger, and remember that his Catholic upbringing poisoned Aristotle and Plato for Heidegger, as ...

"Motive is the beginning of all desires" said Andrew Carnegie to Napoleon Hill. Explains religion even better than Freud did

Maybe thru evolution we will, someday, build newer computers using only our intuition

I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I was just pointing out that Heidegger was right that Parmenides found being thru presence-at-hand. This is becau...

The liar paradox was discussed in logic during the Middle Ages. They hated it lol

. Add Nagarjuna to the list

Asserting that only a person can be "it's own causality"-necessary is quite a claim and comes with a lot of ontological baggage Asserting that you can...

From a Christian college right? Depending on the college, it doesn't count. I have to go to work now. I have a real job. Not "spreading the Word" shee...

So you are not a scientist but a philosopher. And one who is not very good at his job. True philosophers see things from every angle in order to see w...

You obviously haven't read Parmenides's poem. The goddess guides him to pure Being through beings of the world
