Sure I think the answer to that question is that people have all sorts of intrinsic fears. From time to time I study my own fears and what motivates m...
I'll have to study some of your links... . In the meantime one thing I will agree with you on is I always felt religion gives Christianity a bad name....
I apologize and understand however it's called tough love. Post-modernism/existentialism in part for illustration purposes was a result of the realiza...
Yep, it appears GCBishop has an axe to grind for some reason(?). I hope I'm wrong but I think he takes the Christian Bible too literally and considers...
I don't mean to take the wind out of your sails and respect your trying to rigorously think this through. However you may be overthinking it. Using th...
Hello fellow philosopher! Your concern, to me, has a real simple answer. Most sciences require inductive reasoning to discover things. Intrinsic to th...
Well thank you kindly for your response! I like your notion of faith and reason. Through logical inference or inductive reasoning we can uncover and d...
I've had three sequential miracles occur in my life through unplanned happenstance (these three indviduals all came to me to make unplanned proposals,...
One common thread seems to rear its ugly head with sports stars. Since society tends to enable sports talent, there is no learned coping skills. When ...
Nature v. Nurture: Are all brain functions computational, i.e. can they all be boiled down to the ‘input-processing-output’ equation which in theory c...
I've experienced a similar phenomenon at times performing music. I'm not conscious of it all the time when it happens, but when 'I snap out of it' I c...
"Knowing ‘good’ and ‘evil’ is different from ‘learning ethics’. A&E may have gained an initial awareness, but they were a long way from understanding ...
Not to detour the subject matter too much, but that reminds me of electromagnetic waves transporting sounds and images in the atmosphere, then appeari...
That's a great question! I'm thinking that if it was part of Darwinism, perhaps it would evolve into something different... like a whole different set...
Fellow Philosophers, One interesting human dynamic has reared its ugly head already. But it's not necessarily 'ugly' though. Just a very slight detour...
Very awesome fellow Philosophers!!! At least one point to made viz. Evolution; it's hard to see how diatonic music theory confers survival advantages ...
Come on Artemis, you're better than that, you can do better, don't bail on me. This is a debate stage put on your big girl pants. "Part of disproving ...
What? You have been trying to use deductive reasoning not inductive my dear... Perhaps just answering my last round of questions i.e.: proving God doe...
...sure Wayfarer. I agree it doesn't ' go all the way down' that's one reason why I'm recommending inductive reasoning not deductive reasoning. Like a...
Don't give up on the discussion now we were getting close. Please note, you were not able to answer any of those questions or concerns. So until I hea...
Oh nice... . In a similar matter (no pun intended), there have been a few recent threads on this topic and wanted to get your thoughts on it too. Can ...
Hey TS! Sorry I just saw your reply / contribution and I thank you for that! Are you referring to more of an epistemic or ontological aspect of observ...
Wow. Ok teaching moment. Formal Logic is basically mathematics (it is universally true no matter what anyone says). A proposition is considered to hav...
Then Love would be illogical in your definition. Because for that statement to be formally logical it would have to be 100% objective. Formal Logic do...
You said..."belief without reason..." what do you mean by that? Do you have any examples to make that clearer? Thanks for your interpretation of Love....
...sure I get that! Aside from the various concepts of Christian Revelation/consciousness & phenomena, one can think of it another way if you will: An...
Excellent point, could not agree more with your analysis there! I'll take a stab at your OP though, a metaphysical proposition: The concept of God is ...
Here's a thought provoking phenom of sorts. It relates to the math/music interval known as the devil's interval. Which, is a third up, but of course a...
Yes I know thank you for that. The gradation of truth relative to the existence of things viz. logic and reasoning I think, presents important paralle...
I think we would agree that we wouldn't know the nature of its existence in any case, whether it's spinning or not. However we would get closer to its...
Gotcha, ok part of that is pretty straightforward and it begs a couple quick follow-up questions: What if the spinning ball appeared grey, are you cer...

Interesting so you agree that life , (the nature of existing things) is illogical ? Or maybe define what you mean by illusion. Just so I'm clear, I wo...
I'll take the challenge and debate this with you further for sure. But real quickly, what if the apple that was painted red/green as you say, is spinn...
Thank you for that...I didn't want to get into any Dualism debate either. Anyway, just another little detour of sorts. I'm liking the all the discussi...
It's been awhile since I studied all the various forms of formal/modal logic, but from memory, when it comes to human condition kinds of things (AKA c...
Okay are you seeing that gradations of Truth from consciousness is illogical in the sense of defying the law of contradiction, yet normal? Could we ar...

Ok it does sound like you're on the fence. You can't decide if it's A or B, you're in the middle as it were. Are you breaking that rule? If not, sound...
Ok we're getting closer I think but I want to understand: A voice like God spoke to me last night. Is that true or false? Is it both a subjective and ...
