If eternity is time and time eternity, then yes. But if you add the theory of the BB starting time itself, then that still presupposes something outsi...

Very nice! Mmmm, well 'truth' is a loaded question as they say, but a very good question nonetheless! Revelation starts with asking the right question...

I agree. It's as if part of his theory was political double-speak to further some hidden agenda. I think he became unaware that he himself got lost in...

Well, let's see, that's not really true. Being proved whatsoever obviously needs clarification. Using a truncated definition of Metaphysics ( the natu...

Agreed. Economics is very far reaching, particularly global economics. I remember in college reading Milton Friedman's Free to Choose and realized how...

I get your point, but don't get lost in the 'all people are bad' dichotomy. There are plenty of business men who have failed and are working in Gov't ...

In their respective order: 1. Christian God: Jesus 2. Consciousness: self-awareness & numerous metaphysical phenomena. 3. Cosmology: something and not...

:grin: :up:

I agree. Particularly in context of the BB; something outside of time presumably created the energy necessary for time itself. But if time always exis...

I think you have to pick your poison in order to make your case (whatever case you're making). I think a lot of good philosophy or philosophically goo...

TMF! Simple question (well maybe not so simple), could an interminable amount of regressive turtle power suggest infinity and/or eternity of time exis...

Because we are subjects looking at subjects (or 'subjective objects'), which in turn are making judgements about each other's aesthetic existence. And...

No exceptions taken. I'm supprised though, I didn't think you'd acquiesce to Deity.

I see. That would mean a creation event occurred. Kind of like when St. Augustine proclaimed that the world was made with time and not in time which i...

I think you would be making stuff up if you were to try and argue that. Kind of like arguing multiverse.

Are you sure? That seems to be patently false because energy was created prior to the Big Bang.

Well, I'm sorry you feel frustrated enough to throw in the towel. I was just getting ready to provide some additional fodder to digest. Meaning, there...

Because it transcends logic: bivalence/LEM. Yes, Jesus existed. Why is that so difficult to comprehend? I'm still confused regarding your burden of pr...

Great question. Consider that in consciousness during human cognition when neurons interact with each other they end up having a weight to them. Then ...

Agreed. If you agree to your own interpretation of the ' inclusive ' nature from the aesthetic experience, then the question becomes how do you subord...

Driving and daydreaming to the point of distraction and accidental death. Not sure I'm connecting the dots on your logic associated with performing br...

Interesting. Are you suggesting that God has a gender?

Are you familiar with mathematical/physicists Paul Davies, John Wheeler, Roger Penrose... ? I hate to drop names, but you might want to study some of ...

Are you sure? I thought the history of Jesus' existence defined God? Meaning, Jesus had a conscious mind, yet the explanation of which is germane to t...

I certainly don't know how metaphysical phenomena (the nature of conscious existence) can emerge from Darwinian evolutionary, survival of the fittest ...

Are you unable to answer the question as to whether it was your subconscious or conscious that was doing the daydreaming while driving, at the same ti...

Language? You mean phenomenology and metaphysics. You mean it's that which transcends physics?

It doesn't account for metaphysical phenomena, consciousness, music, mathematical ability, causation, the Will, the illusion of time, etc.. etc., ther...

Is that not what we're doing? I'm confused now.

Did you not comprehend the video?

You keep asking me to define God, and so, am I not telling you what you want to hear? With respect to Ontology and bivalence/vagueness/logic, etc., as...

You seem to be struggling with Metaphysics, this may/may not help you (short easy to understand video): https://youtu.be/BxV0zGVDXKo

Well, if you want to call a first round knock-out being abusive, well, that's your call :snicker:

Really? Tree=plant Cosmological God=mathematics Ontological God=the color red. And your point? Actually, with respect to Ontology/Epistemology and log...

You're confusing a discussion I had with Jorndoe awhile back on another thread. You may want to bow out of the discussion there.

So consciousness (in part Metaphysics) is not real? I'm at a loss over your point. How does that address the nature of music theory, and Darwinian sur...

Think of it this way; red is red (God is red). Or alternatively, in cosmology, God is mathematics.

Not following you on that one.

Theoretical physicist Paul Davies once wrote that metaphysical problems have included the origin, nature, and the purpose of the universe, how the wor...

And a good Latino friend once said, " I have party in my panks!!" LOL, sorry it's almost Friday!

Well said fdrake! How existential of you!!

No exceptions taken. And your point? BTW, I hate to offer this observation or admonishment, but you had been sadly misguided about God not being inclu...

Did we not cover this ground already? I'm not sure if you're on a fishing expedition or a witch hunt, but in any case let me be cordial and repeat: Th...

Timmy! Not to digress too terribly on such a commentary of human nature, but I see a few ironies emerging here relative to that human condition, and t...

That would contradict what you said about the metaphysical will to live, no? With respect to metaphysical attributes of God, sure the cosmological God...

Sure! Part of consciousness is metaphysical, no? Some say there are attributes of God that are metaphysical too, yes? Are you referring to medical sci...

I'm not referring to Cartesian dualism. I referring to Kant's theory of aesthetics, which is metaphysical. Hopefully you will stay on-board with that....

I'm not following your logic. here's what I asked you: Great, thanks for engaging. The phenomena relating to my feelings about the color red, or my fe...

I'm a Christian Existentialist. I don't have to, but the atheist does. Otherwise, who would know the mind of God? You don't even understand your own m...

I suppose being a troll is better than you dropping the F-bomb. Hey looky there, your character score is improving LOL
