I see quite a lot of people not having issue with infinite regress as objection to the argument. I know very little but WLC seems to argue that ockham...

Instantly made me listen to it lol.

I think the distinction between brain and mind should be made. The mind will be able to override those instincts as has been said above. Perhaps the b...

Dang, I had made a thread before reading this.

I know that Cryonics cost like 200K--And their work ethic is dubious. Do you really think this'll be out in time?

What kind of treatment is that? Is it even possible?
June 28, 2020 at 17:53
Hiya! Thank you for expanding and explaining! To my pre kantian mind, I find it hard to see the issue that you see. Isn't the 3 omni God argued to be ...

I don't think Im anywhere near equipped to have such discourse yet myself!

So most people here arent theistic or deistic, ... in the sense that they believe there to be a God that thinks etc. But rather that he is a concept w...

Existence as in that its an 3 omni God. Or really whatever deity one argues. As in its an actual entity and not a mental fabrication.

This is now on my booklist! Thank you!
June 26, 2020 at 11:34
Am I right when I have the feeling that you guys mean all the bad arguments are the ones trying to make a case for the existence of God or a deity? If...

I ceased replying for a while because my interest in philosophy is distracting me of what I should be doing-- study my physics and chemistry exams! Bu...

The saddest thing, to me, is that I cannot see whether it's bad or good. It would save me a lot of trouble when I can.

In what way do you mean they invoke God? Surely those fields work on a naturalistic framework as well? Edit: Offside question: Does being an atheist a...

Would you mind expanding on why it's a bad place to stay? Other than that I'm very thankful for the input.
June 25, 2020 at 22:52
That very fair. And thank you for reminding me that I shouldn't pull conclusions from that!

You're an angel! Honestly this is so helpful. Could you tell me what the deal with WLC is? I've heard him get a lot of criticism too.
June 25, 2020 at 21:58
You guys are helpful. Thank you. The reason why I asked as well was because the recent post to remove PoR from the forum reminded me of a statement ma...

I shouldn't assume people know what they're talking about,should I? haha. Well, I ordered a book just now called the oxford dictionary of philosophy i...

I'm really glad to hear that. I do my absolute best to remain open minded and to learn. What do you gain by being hard headed in a conversation about ...
June 25, 2020 at 16:40
Forgive my ignorance but what are those main unknowns? I've seen people argue that a God explanation is fundamentally different from a mechanistic exp...

Yes in the lustrum that I've been trying to find out about God I noticed that there are different layers of discussion going on. I started out at the ...
