I don't know what this god is that you speak of could you define what that is with clear attributes, no semantics, equivocations, contradictions, asse...

You are having such a difficult time understanding ignosticism and likewise probably in trying to understand meta-philosophy (another field of study) ...
August 12, 2020 at 20:47
What is this god you speak of? If its the universe were all theists, if its a square circle were all atheists, if it's a deistic variety by definition...
August 12, 2020 at 18:45
If I cannot will you bury me with an Argumentum ad populum? This is non-cognitivism. At least with respect to religious discussions but because its fo...
August 12, 2020 at 18:13
Why thank you.
August 12, 2020 at 17:34
No, it exists and I'm not exactly sure why you think it's a relative nothing. It contains inherent geometrical properties and perhaps is even affected...

Why do you indulge him when he seems to intentionally ignore that an anecdotal (perhaps second to even third hand or more) stories relaying true facts...
August 12, 2020 at 04:42
Well actually its rather popular for physicists now to elaborate on spacetime being a substance in its own right perhaps dualistically coexistent with...
August 12, 2020 at 04:33
Then I would wonder why there is a field of philosophy (meta-philosophy) that even discusses the primary reason to study philosophy or if it does actu...
August 12, 2020 at 04:29
Not exactly a definite answer but a collection of answers. Intriguing perspective. . . I wouldn't have thought to dive right into the semantic end but...
August 06, 2020 at 15:38
The first is direct personal admittance of ignorance and the latter comments a form of epistemologically successful deduction on your part. A respecta...
July 27, 2020 at 18:36
I'd be rather careful with extrapolating physical theories as such given their parasitic assumptions on certain space-time philosophies. In this case ...
July 27, 2020 at 18:31
F-it. I'm done, this is giving me anxiety with your constant convolution of the discussion or constant re-adjusting of positions/lines of argumentatio...
July 24, 2020 at 03:38
Are you being jokey/sarcastic, pedantic, or really wondering about the grammatical/language/philosophy that goes into a proper definition? Though, if ...
July 24, 2020 at 00:12
I can stand up and move my arms. Yes, you can do two things at once and here you are doing one thing (daydreaming) while not doing another as efficien...
July 23, 2020 at 23:12
Partially. What you mean consciousness can do two things at once? It can only be conscious of experiences and those it isn't are called unconscious. I...
July 23, 2020 at 21:42
You should know that a lack of imagination or scientific knowledge on the matter should only subscribe you do at the most a sense of indifference/agno...
July 23, 2020 at 20:58
Now you are truly a creationist who doesn't understand that evolutionary theory and cosmology/physics are different scientific disciplines or here you...
July 23, 2020 at 19:22
Depends on what parts of brain were responsible for correct motor control and what parts were responsible for daydreaming as well as whether you would...
July 23, 2020 at 18:57
The mind would be studied in metaphysics whether it was purely idealist or arose in an emergent sense from physical processes (which you haven't defin...
July 23, 2020 at 18:53
Can you actually tell me you watched the video I sent talking about misconceptions in evolution?
July 23, 2020 at 18:51
I'm asking why you only want to seem to discuss language? But you also wrote that something is or isn't metaphysical when you really mean't is it some...
July 23, 2020 at 18:50
Did you. Metaphysics is a discipline that studies the things he mentions in the video. What i've been telling you this whole time.
July 23, 2020 at 18:47
Exactly certain things are studied by metaphysicians such as the mind or physical reality but there is nothing that is metaphysical only studied by me...
July 23, 2020 at 18:41
You're playing a semantics game like calling the universe god and not defining what you mean by god or merely just having the word "god" be a place ho...
July 23, 2020 at 18:39
No, that metaphysics may or may not encompass what was called natural philosophy but we call today the sciences including physics, chemistry, biology,...
July 23, 2020 at 18:29
How about you watch this. It literally goes over many misconceptions creationists such as you have about evolution including mentioning that lots of t...
July 23, 2020 at 17:58
You abuse peoples quotes and don't seem to justify it? :chin:
July 23, 2020 at 17:36
Yes, so if call a tree a truck then a truck is a tree and vice versa. Basically you are fucking language raw if I may put in less appealing or rather ...
July 23, 2020 at 17:35
Yes but it's not a substance it's a discipline of study. That may or may not include scientific methodology or the natural sciences which DEPEND on ou...
July 23, 2020 at 17:33
Why did you quote mine?
July 23, 2020 at 16:46
So it's just as ontologically irrelevant to everyday experience just as a mirage is not a bunch of palm trees and a pool of water. (If you are going t...
July 23, 2020 at 16:46
Define god. Also, what do I believe in all knowing telepath?
July 22, 2020 at 23:20
I need an external eye to look at how i'm going with this guy 3017amen. Would give me pointers on how i'm doing?
July 22, 2020 at 20:58
I'm starting to realize that you are pretty much just a troll who doesn't understand evolution or hold such a straw man view of it that it would alway...
July 22, 2020 at 20:39
It would contradict your abhorrent abuse of a term "metaphysical" which stands for a discipline of study. Why would (AFTER DEFINING WHAT A PHYSICAL TH...
July 22, 2020 at 20:17
No some parts of consciousness may be non-reductive to their physical counterparts or be entirely different substances (or have different ontological ...
July 22, 2020 at 17:01
It basically stops them from seemingly always trying to prove they can see into your mind before you even open your mouth.
July 22, 2020 at 03:45
Define god. Try defining consciousness without appealing to science or losing sight of our personal experience/everything in scientific psychology to ...
July 22, 2020 at 03:19
I guess ignostic would usually best describe my true position but having people call me an atheist is easier as well as more well known. Most of us ar...
July 22, 2020 at 02:25
Perhaps, thank you for the response and possible clarification.
July 21, 2020 at 23:47
You haven't defined what a god is so I can't specify whether it doesn't exist, it's improbable, or the arguments for it are lacking. At this point i'm...
July 21, 2020 at 23:39
Are you talking about epistemology (what method), personal philosophy and introspection (why do I keep living), or psychology/evolutionary biology? Ag...
July 20, 2020 at 02:11
Most of these questions seem to concern the scientific study of psychology, personal arbitrary convictions that may not possess a "best answer", or co...
July 20, 2020 at 00:29
Then don't bring up the philosophy of religion or ethics. Sociology goes hand in hand with these. It literally didn't post quotes for some reason. I c...
July 20, 2020 at 00:24
Why suppose this definition of atheism rather than the Dawkins scale or a four scale one in which we split atheists into two evidential claims of conf...
July 18, 2020 at 05:18
I'd say this is a rather respectful position to partake in as it's probably rather a common intuition among both relationists/substantivalists that al...
July 16, 2020 at 19:43
We need to make a distinction between abstractions/quantitative theories of our reality and the interpretations of those theories (from metaphysics) t...
July 11, 2020 at 23:44
How do not know this? It's the time measured by a clock that remains in your frame of reference or world line in special relativity. Philosophical int...
July 11, 2020 at 23:40
And without metaphysics we wouldn't know what were uncovering nor where to proceed next.
