Mutations do not need to be advantageous to survival to persist" Ok, so if I could restate your theory, are you saying it's an accidental feature of e...

Propositions are what are true or false. "Love" isn't a proposition. (A proposition is a statement about something.) Gotcha, let me then try it in pro...

First, something doesn't have to be an evolutionary advantage to persist. It only has to not be enough of an evolutionary disadvantage that it gets "b...

Let's talk about Love. Is love a subjective or objective truth?
October 08, 2019 at 14:55
What's perplexing me is that you're saying that that has ever perplexed anyone. What sorts of big falling object threats are you even thinking of, fir...
October 08, 2019 at 14:48
Well sorry you feel that way. Your choice. In fairness, if you could answer at least one of those existential questions, we might could learn somethin...
October 08, 2019 at 14:01
"...primarily from an ontological perspective" Yep, totally get that. And I feel that pain. Once again, a priori logic rears its ugly head there (not ...

"So, (2) indicates that there is no ultimate meaning," Hey Poetic, wanted to give you some love over here. Couple quick thoughts on meaning: 1. I thin...

You said : "Atheists are simply on the opinion, or belief, that there is no god or gods." So what is your belief or opinion based upon? I understand y...
October 08, 2019 at 13:12
"None of these have to do with theism or atheism." Yes they do. They are Existential analogies to highlight your flawed logic. They are important ques...

...sure...an unchanging Being in a deterministic/contingent world is not logically possible (but neither are my questions sort of speak). Thus: 1. If ...

What explanatory power could "God did it" or "My religion says so" ever have in this context? Are you trying to use a priori logic to 'disprove' God's...
October 07, 2019 at 18:42
I'm desperately trying to make sense out of your logic. Thus far this is what you're leaving me with: 1. If Artemis is God, she can answer my question...
October 07, 2019 at 18:33
I'm asking you direct questions. And you are politically deflecting them.
October 07, 2019 at 18:23
1. I'll keep asking you to prove your point. How does consciousness and subconsciousness work together, as you keep saying(?). 2. What is Love? 3. Thi...
October 07, 2019 at 18:19
No, I'm listening, waiting, and excited that you might be able to explain how the human consciousness and subconsciousness work together? Or how about...
October 07, 2019 at 18:16
I'm waiting... ? Do you think GMBAA could explain it better?
October 07, 2019 at 18:11
Robert, with respect to one of your questions, I could be wrong, but it appears Atheism has no answer/explanation for these questions/phenomena occurr...
October 07, 2019 at 18:07
I'm sorry you want to end the debate. I'm expecting you, as an Atheist who's values logic, would be able explain them. In keeping with the OP, is this...

What is Love?
October 07, 2019 at 17:44
Actually, I did, and you're just refusing to engage it. That not only shows you've lost the argument, but that you're kind of a bad (and impolite) int...

Ok, then answer this: did my consciousness daydream or my subconsciousness daydream, while driving the car? — 3017amen I answered that: probably a bit...
October 07, 2019 at 17:37
We are waiting for both of you to prove something, but you got nothing. Your logic could not answer those questions. Mmmmmmm, sounds like Atheism isn'...

Ok, then answer this: did my consciousness daydream or my subconsciousness daydream, while driving the car?
October 07, 2019 at 17:33
That's not a statement, it's a question. 1. This statement is a lie. Is that better?
October 07, 2019 at 17:31
Probably a bit of both. " How does that work? Both suggests P and -P. I must be mistaken...
October 07, 2019 at 17:30
That's not a paradox. It just means one of them is mistaken or lying. " Oh I see. 1. Is this statement a lie?
October 07, 2019 at 17:28
Consciousness and subconsciousness are as non-contradictory as a duck swimming on a lake. The legs are moving, but you can't see them, all you see is ...

I am riled. I don't like to argue with blind fanatics who lose sight of logic, reason, and civility when they engage in their most sacred subject. " A...
October 07, 2019 at 17:22
Are you angry now?
October 07, 2019 at 16:35
You're using rationalism to disprove EOG no? And self reference unresolved paradox exists yes?
October 07, 2019 at 16:34
P and-p describes how consciousness and subconsciousness works together no? — 3017amen No. Really, please explain consciousness then LOL We're waiting...
October 07, 2019 at 16:33
A prori proofs only exist in atheist thinking when the atheist points at bible self-contradictions. In a way, the bible says "X is X and not X", and t...
October 07, 2019 at 16:30
Or there could be a metaphysical logic ( only concept that makes sense there) that exists in the form of a novel formula. P and-p describes how consci...
October 07, 2019 at 16:25
Wow, that's progress! So 1. You're saying is true. Can you tell me why you are wondering that? Lol on the Kantian joke :)
October 07, 2019 at 16:17
Artemis, have you read alcontali's Philosophy of Mathematics link? What do you think?
October 07, 2019 at 16:13
How do you know pink unicorns don't exist in some other world? Ok, using your logic, which statement do you believe is true: 1. All events must have a...
October 07, 2019 at 16:07
Arguing against logic using logic will inevitably lead to the equivalent of saying "this sentence is a lie." Artemis! Are you saying that there is unr...
October 07, 2019 at 15:59
Two quick thoughts: 1. If humans were not selfish, would we still procreate? 2. The law of contracts, promise for a promise, assumes two parties benef...

"We assume so many things, and we simply cannot explain why we do that. " My thoughts exactly. And I was already thinking about mathematics and abstra...

"Newton contributed nothing" I think that sums it up Poetic! Unless I am missing something, my propsitions remain largely unanswered. But that's ok. T...
October 06, 2019 at 11:03
Sounds like you're experiencing a bit of existential angst. Accordingly, it's okay to take the leap of faith. Kind of like what Kierkegaard / Pascal a...

October 06, 2019 at 00:17
Hey Poetic: That's pretty good! But, I wonder : 1. How were they mislead (?) 2. If they were misled, is the statement a half-truth? That of course is ...
October 05, 2019 at 21:39
Sure Poetic, that's one reason why I posted earlier: Socrates: "What Plato is about to say is false." Plato: "Socrates has just spoken truly." How can...
