"everything is composed of parts and.. must have non-zero finite size." Then you keep thinking of the division. The numbers of parts go on forever. So...

I don't even like the guy. You said he was moral but present an immoral picture of his ideas. Christian say Jesus paid the price for our sins. So our ...

"The mind is fundamentally illogical" Devans99

Discreteness does even mean anything. Does the discrete have parts? If not it's zero and has nothing to do with an object

Deists don't usually try to convince others that it is rational to believe in God. They can't even communicate with their God, so what motive could th...

I've studied Christianity since I was 11 years old. So go ahead, give the quotes from Peirce on conscience and sin. Let's see if he is moral. Did he s...

You need to understand that what the mind thinks geometrically of an object actually applies to it. How many parts does a banana ACTUALLY have? Don't ...

Things don't potentially have parts. They actually have parts

Nothing is starting itself. You dont get it. Over your head. Bye

Christians try to get out of moral responsibility by saying God "became sin" and destroyed it. All you have to do is accept that he did and your respo...

because it's all nonsense!

Even if the world is the expression of a general mind, if that mind is ours than the world is not real. If wondered a lot about Hinduism, and I've com...

so many contradictions is one post.

The world just is finetuned, just like you say God is just intelligent. Why is God intelligent. You have.to stop somewhere. Gravity moves by attractio...

that is not a clear cut paradox. There is much about infinity we don't know. You are making this too simple. However, if you think it is simple, then ...

then he is full of cat diarrhea. The world clearly exists as a reality, not as thought. And why has he been called an objective idealist instead of a ...

i don't understand you. I say gravity starts time and the first motio, and you say what starts the first motion again. Obviously the no boundary hypot...

it doesn't matter if they are beneficial. Atheists have wonder towards the world and you can't stop them even though you don't understand it

i see no connection between your epigenetics research and nominalism, or with Peirce. You don't elaborate

Let me get this straight. Are the the Peirce people on this thread saying that we all have a common mind and that mind creates the material world? Ave...

imagine the series of motions as a bunch of pictures. Together they flow to create time, but there is no time before the first motion. Gravity causes ...

I've been reading about Buddhist logic on Wikipedia just now. I guess we can say that the world is either real, not real, in-between, a combination of...

Physical laws being derived, habits becoming laws.. It sounds like splitting hairs again aletheist. Are you saying Peirce is a subjective idealism ins...

Peirce

Huh? Pierce says the world is mind right there

To be clear to the readers, subjective idealism says the universe has no reality except in our minds. Objective idealism says we create the world and ...

Aquinas said heretics should be burned at the stake. He was hard core into torture. My middle name is named after him. I know all about that freak. As...

Your suggestion that people can't have wonder if they don't believe in an all-powerful guy out there is wrong wrong wrong. You just think everyone is ...

Einstein and Hawking, the two greatest thinkers of the last century, didn't think the universe required a God separate from it.

If objects are infinitely divisible, then an actual infinity is real. I don't see how finite geometry can be defended. Euclid and Archimedes understoo...

BTW, by 99 are you referring to your birth year? I get the impression you are very young. I'm 34

I said time did have a start. William Craig used that theorem all the time but his atheist opponents contacted the authors and they said Craig misrepr...

God creates the division. Augustine and Aquinas explicitly say the forms are in God. The doctrine of Plato that the forms are separate from God are he...

And Devans99, why don't you read Aquinas's first book of the Contra Gentiles. He tries to "prove" God is all-knowing. Why not go all the way? Why not ...

Saying God started the first motion or gravity matters notta. There is no reason to believe there is a person out their, unless you believe in absolut...

I've explained already on this thread how the universe works mechanically. TIme starts from the first motion of gravity. There i no before in any sens...

Still, whatever you apply to the deist God as the reason why HE doesn't need a cause can be applied to the universe (with organic beings alone in all ...

That's true when considered from materialism alone. But I am a materialist who thinks the world is God minus the consciousness. We are the higher form...

First there is void, then there is existence, then there is goodness, then there is truth, then there is beauty. That's the hierarchy of the transcend...

The world could have all the reality it needs to exist, everything you attribute to God, except consciousness and it's faculties of will and reason. T...

Again, hair-slitting. You either believe that Platonic Forms are real entities separate from God or not. Aristotle, Augustine, and Aquinas all thought...

Scotus did think that prime matter and form could exist somehow separately. Aquinas believed contra that there was only a formal distinction. Nonethel...

You think you can peer into the nature of time. You think that proving to yourself that God exists means you have to convince us. Why don't you spend ...

I totally don't get your position on nominalism. The word transcendental with regard to Abelard is misleading. That has to do with form. Abelard didn'...

You never heard of Greek fire? As for miracles, strange things happen in ALL religions. Catholics just pay attention to the ones they want to..

He won't even consider Hawking's no boundary hypothesis

I don't see an infinity of quality in light personally. Maybe if I finally tried LSD

I haven't been paying a ton of attention, but has mapping the medium oscilated between Aquinas and scotus on here? And if she thinks we are all God, w...

My ears tell me sound is infinite, when I study music. There is an infinity within the limit of the highest and lowest frequency.

Violins can create an infinity of sounds with infinitesimal changes. Aristotle's finite universe is a myth
