Infinity = everything.

Too simple, I think, for most. Consider this synoptic excerpt: :smirk:

On my way to bed. I'll address this (interesting) question as best as I can tomorrow.

As I predicted, you've got nothing but an appeal to ignorance (i.e. woo-of-the-gaps) fallacy that is only "proof" of you barking at shadows like a rab...

If you're going to spout scientifically illiterate and innumerate "gibberish" like the above sentence, then you damn well can afford to learn somethin...

Explain how it is that the universe is "proof" there is a god.

Such as? :pray:

Aristotle's argument is incoherent as it consists of attributing temporal-predicates ("before", "after", "beginning", "becoming" ...) to "time" itself...

Random —> unpredictable; however, unpredictable –/–> random (e.g. chaotic systems).

You lost me.

Awww, lil D-Ker, nanny / nurse hasn't given you your meds today. :lol:

Trollish tantrum?! So pathetic. :lol:

Just like one needs crutches in order to deny one needs crutches, lil D-Ker. :roll: Anyway, I do not "deny them". I claim that what believers say abou...

Immanentists (e.g. Deus, sive natura) have no use for "ietsism/somethingism/x-ism".

I see you are ignorant of Pyrrho, Sextus Empiricus, Hume, Peirce, Dewey & Wittgenstein ... Have a good one, MU. :smirk:

So it's "under-thinking" to call a reified abstraction into question with a concrete quotidian example? :confused:

Not "stuck", the classical suffices to make my point. I just prefer not to overthink the (existential) question, apok.

So you were making a metaphysical objection ("nothing =/= nothingness") to my physical objection ("nothing sans nothingness") to the OP's nonsensical ...

I have not argued for metaphysical nothing-ness ("actual void" as you say) but instead for nothing that is evident – I did make reference parenthetica...

As a philosophical naturalist, I'm all for whatever works better, more probatively and reliably, than methodological physicalism. :100:

The energy ground state of the vacuum – empty space – is "a sea of virtual particles" (i.e. quantum fluctuations), so thanks for illustrating my point...

Democritus would agree (pace Parmenides, pace Aristotle). :up:

:up:

https://youtu.be/_RfUj09pWfM "If the only thing keeping a person decent is the expectation of divine reward, then, brother, that person is a piece of ...

Only where there are compelling grounds am I "skeptical". Absurdism, as Zapffe / Camus propose, denotes epoché of 'fundamental meanings' (idealism) an...

Doubt, like belief or disbelief, requires grounds.

Okay. You're incorrigible on this point. We'll have to discuss something else.

Well, I've never considered the possibility that there no such thing as "facts".

I can eat donuts, not "maths". :yum: And (baryonic) donuts consist mostly of "voids".

Compare omnibenevolent vs not-omnibenevolent ... with respect to theodicy (re: "omnipotence" and "free will").

Donut holes exist.

Paradoxes are semantic or conceptual illusions generated by inadequate, or faulty, premises. Zeno's faulty premise is that the physical world is 'infi...

I argue in my link that reality is necessarily not contradictory (i.e. an impossible world). And our maps certainly can and do contain contradictions,...

:up:

No. :point:

:clap: :100: :fire:

"The Riddle of Epicurus", circa 3rd century BCE. No reference to the Hebrew scriptures and nearly seven centuries before the Christian Bible and over ...

Sweet fuckin' Jeezus. :roll: Atheism preceeded the Bible by millennia and every religion that rejects worship of all deities entails atheism with resp...

I suppose you're not familiary with e.g. paraconsistent logic or E.M. Escher's illustrations or dialetheism or Salvador Dali's paintings or QM superpo...

:up:

:roll: By an overwhelmingly astronomical prepondance of the evidence in the Hubble volume, this universe is apparently "fine-tuned" for lifelessness.

Yes. Militarily you invade or attack my country, how is my defensive casus belli against your military forces (and country) not just?

If you say so.

You're convincing me your vapidity is deliberate. :chin:

I think this is why careful, disciplined meta-cognition is indispensable for sound reasoning. I wouldn't be a Spinozist (immanentist) if I thought oth...
