@"Benj96" The simulation theory might be true. In the sense that we live in a world that is not physical. Parmenides stated that space is a void, void...

Thanks!
August 31, 2023 at 04:22
Yes, but I mean no offense. It's just used to refer to a condition. Which word would you use?
August 31, 2023 at 04:06
What you are saying makes sense.

Somethings are understood, yet are hard to define or explain. I think "belief" is one of those things.
August 31, 2023 at 02:23
If we could just make someone believe, then we would be able to implement it in our school systems. We would be able to eliminate intellectual disabil...

I think prayers have only to do with the supernatural. I mean, it's considered prayer when we are requesting help from a supernatural being.

It's like the following scenario. Suppose someone says that you shouldn't worry about your car getting in an accident, because there is a person who a...

You're right, I was only talking about the God of Abrahamic religions, where goodness is a trait of God.
July 06, 2021 at 23:26
Out of all the arguments I have come across, this one makes the most sense.
July 06, 2021 at 23:18
Yes, but they have been used to argue against the existence of God. Which is what this thread is about. Tom, I agree that most of them are very hard t...

@fishfry, I made a few changes after your post.
February 20, 2021 at 11:00
I am not sure the universe is everything. I think there are lots of things that are non-material but cannot be considered part of a universe or inside...

A timeless world could not exist for more than zero seconds.

It's almost like magicians built the computer that can operate magically without the hardware. But, the hardware was created just to make it not seem ...

@god must be an atheist, they wouldn't be exactly the same, they would be unconscious beings.
January 29, 2021 at 04:36
Fish fry, by "magic" I mean that suppose you take a potato and rub it and it turns into a Lamborghini. Modern day computers are just like that. Suppos...

Drunk people lose consciousness all the time, but their body remains active and operates by itself. Another great example of the body being active and...

Sorry, I meant to say that each unit of time "can" and only exists for zero seconds.
January 25, 2021 at 17:34
That would result in many contradictions. If time did not exist, nothing could exist temporarily or forever. So everything, including nothingness cann...

I am not sure what's the purpose/point of life, but I think that there is no greater purpose/point to life than being happy, and having dignity.

I have actually, it was a male genitalia. It was a boy laying down with both his hands behind his head, and his penis erect.

Hey Jack, I took a picture of my wall, and tried my best to highlight the faces I see in it. https://i.imgur.com/9g6T5Ti.jpg

I just wanted to share that information.
September 13, 2020 at 01:27
Thanks, it was very easy to find.
September 12, 2020 at 03:22
Thanks.
September 11, 2020 at 02:32
Thanks for the link. I will list more once I come across them.

A discussion about the definition of "might", "possibly", "chance" "maybe" or "possibility". I am going to go ahead and guess that Amergin's answer is...
December 25, 2019 at 00:35
Basically what I am saying is that Zeno has made a mistake when concluding that time does not exist and motion is impossible. Suppose, you have three ...
November 23, 2019 at 15:59
Time is a moment. There is no such a thing as a fraction of a moment. Suppose someone claims that there is. Suppose they say, that there is a moment, ...

If it is not true, it means that something circular is sometimes or always the same as something non-circular. We know it is not always true, we obvio...
November 07, 2019 at 03:03
I am not talking about squaring a circle. I am basically saying something circular is never the same as something non-circular. Thus, something circul...
November 05, 2019 at 21:48
For sake of clarity, I would like to say what I have been trying to say in a different way. A circle is never the same as a square. Thus, a circle is ...

That thread is about a different subject. The other thread is about two objects occupying the same space simultaneously.
September 18, 2019 at 01:27
By "Objects", I mean physical objects. By "Cannot", I mean impossible. By "Why", I mean the reason behind that belief. I am guessing the reason behind...
September 16, 2019 at 18:50
Ok, thanks for clearing that up. I must have misunderstood people talking about space curving.
September 16, 2019 at 06:17
That is what I was thinking, but I am not quite what Einstein was saying when talking about space bending.
September 15, 2019 at 07:13
It just means that part of the space moves to a different part. Suppose part A moves to part B of the space, now part A of that space is in part B of ...

If something changing means it becoming non-existent, then we should be dead by now. And are somebody else who thinks that they were somebody else in ...

Once this circle becomes a triangle, what is that circle at this moment?
September 15, 2019 at 03:17
Even if that is true, we cannot put history aside. History of something is its property. Two things, even if the same size, color, weight, shape and i...
September 14, 2019 at 23:46
You are right. That still does not mean that two objects occupying the same space share all their properties with each other. By that, I mean that it ...
September 14, 2019 at 21:53
Two things being in the same place at the same time does not mean that all their properties are the same. It does not mean that those two things had t...

I am not trying to argue that they can and I do not know of a scenario which shows that they can.
September 14, 2019 at 20:23
I am referring to physical objects.

I do not think that the original poster is trying to prove that the Bible is true. I think the original poster is just wondering if condemning someone...
September 14, 2019 at 19:54
I meant two things occupying the same space at the same time. When saying why can't object A and B occupy the same space at the same time, I meant why...
