Do you mean that you were being ironic? No? OK then - well that simply doesn't work because the whole point of science is to break the reality into sm...
That's what happens when you try to categorize a continuum...16 million colours - but there's still only one rainbow - and it is a naturally occurring...
I think that's right - but then what we can do (in the light of your other comments) about the 'essentialist' part of the process? To say, "its contra...
Well in terms of human gender categories, it wouldn't be an infinite regress, just about 7 and a half billion maximum at one time (as of now). I'm pre...
I think its more the recognition that "happenings" are the real "stuff" of reality - there are really no "points" in space or "moments" in time - thes...
"The correspondence theory seems to be easy to understand – on the surface. It says that something is true if it corresponds to known facts. So, “Gras...
Well no again - matter is really just a form of energy (E=mc^2) and the net energy of the universe is exactly the same now as it was "in the beginning...
But then the argument is invalidated because it is based on the premise that everything that exists has a cause. Your argument is essentially: There a...
Therefore there can be no first cause...because a first cause can have no prior cause and therefore cannot exist. Its not about agreeing to differ, yo...
If you insist. If, as you began your argument, there is no first cause, that does not imply that there are no other causes - indeed, my argument is th...
Okey dokey then! We've progressed from "dumb" and Wikipedia, to "child" and "magic"...and still no logical argument establishing the claimed impossibi...
Well that gets back to - who was it - Russel's (?) - counter argument...there is such a number as -1 (yes?) so in the series of negative integers, wha...
But how can you prove logically that it is "impossible"? Just because someone - even someone as smart as Aquinas - can't get their head around it does...
Well no they don't really, indeed it seems to be a fundamental (not just practical) limitation of the universe that "particles" (whatever those are) c...
Is preaching warranted? From a Christian POV (not that I have one of those, you understand), I'm told by some people who do have one, that preaching i...
You are moving relative to more or less everything else - you just don't sense it because because you are sitting on a fairly large lump of rock that ...
In this argument you contend that the "lack of an initial state invalidates all the subsequent states - a system’s initial state determines all subseq...
Wrong - an infinite regress of anything has no first term - that's all you can say...using the example of the negative integers, I can think of the bi...
Is it? Apart from imaginary billiard tables, why? And also - think of it the other way round - if at some future point, all the particles in the unive...
