There are centuries of evolution ahead. What will we be then?

I think the three are basically incompatible, but a reconciliation would be a milestone. I think macro and micro reality are like apples and oranges: ...

It's unwise not to adopt that view, but we must keep trying and looking for verifications in reality

Yes, we are the best and worst of creatures.

What good is the whole universe without consciousness?

If you say so.

When we observe the most advanced of us, it's easy to develop that view; however, we must still perform animal activities, but our intellectual activi...

Indeeed, since the brain is part of the body .

Thanks for your input.

I equals the body-brain; it is a pronoun that stands for the body-brain which is conscious.

I never conflate both; they both work together to make the individual viable.

Do you have a different view?

I may be wrong, but that is the way I see it.

We have been living with nothing a long time. it has grown on us and it is hard to eliminate. Recently, it occured to me that we have been discusing a...

But is simply space nothing? Well, space may be simply immaterial. But that is not nothing but no-thing.

This is much ado about nothing. I like this: Either something or nothing exist, but nothing does not exist; therefore, something exists. The logic is ...

I will have to consider general nothing. Nothing is such an engrained part of our life, like time. Do you think that nothing (general or specific) cou...

If I have a dime and lose it, do I have nothing? no, I no longer have a dime. What will be left is the abscene of the last atom. We tend to call the a...

Why there is something rather than nothing is as follows: either something exists or nothing exists; since NOTHING DOES NOT EXIST, something must exis...

Well, Kant probably felt time. But when I read that section, I thought that his intuition was equivalent to our perception; however, intuition is not ...

Gregory, thanks for response. On time, I use myself as the authority.

My view is that time does not exist. If I am wrong, time is an immaterial existence. Now it can be easily said that no movement, no time. Time is what...

No. My space is real; Kant's was perceptual, but it is transcendental in accordance with Kantian requirements.

I see posts mentioning time. Is time a real immaterial existence or just a mathematical one?

Thanks for post. I have mulled over it and it seems to be, in the least, plausible. Immaterial space becomes the first existent and the uncaused cause...

Yes, we wil leave not hostile to each other. Incidentally, I favor agnosticism and I am a Star Trek fan.

There is just one--immaterial space. Just this one, in my view, created the universe. Do I know that this view is correct--no! But it is a natural vie...

Too much to reply too . I'll answer at least a few. . I stick with the principle from nothing comes nothing; the book alienates me. Remember: existenc...

In the list of synonyms, not material is my selection; it is a Kantian transcendental since space is absolute, necessary and universal as I view it. T...

Thanks for post. Since nothing does not exist, my post is of a something world. Kant and Berkeley fought a material world. My immaterial space should ...

In my view, immaterial space is the precursor to actual space; it became actual space. Immaterial space is natural, has nothing to do with the superna...

Very good questions. We are accustomed to objects, material things. I am unable to perceive the immaterial; I wonder if it does exist. If it does, it ...

On nothing. To me it so simple. Nothing is a concept with no existence; nothing does not exist. One should not put much stock in non-existence.

Was there a singularity? Science is not able to proceed beyond the big bang

It is not physical space as presented by general relativity or it is space that is not made of anything material. Good question. It is my view the tha...

..."humans consider impossible?" I think that is a good response. I suggested that you read my post on The Origin of the Universe. In that post I pres...

Thanks for comments. Read my post on the origin of the universe carefully and it should be clear that the first existent must be uncaused. It is impos...

The first uncaused cause was immaterial space. After that, every effect has a cause or causes. As for Hume, empirical issues can be highly probable, t...

One can expect the present to contnue.

Reality is where I strive to reside. I'm pleased that you think I have returned

The past existed during the present; only a record of it exists now. The future does not exist; it is expected to become the present. Past and future ...

Eterrnal! That's another word with no existence.

If you want to know how the universe came to be, check my post on its origin

Motion is the fundamental process. There is no past or future, only now. We remember events and record them.

Necessary in the sense that nothing cannot exist--nothing does not exist; therefore, something must exist.

Thanks for the post and your understanding.

I did not dismiss Kant--just have other views which are debatable. My little post even uses Kant's requirements for the transcendental. I avoided Kant...

It was not my aim to prove the existence of God. My view is that there might be a God, there might not be a God. I'm committed to reason as weak as mi...

Yes, working backwards seems to be the way to proceed. I avoided Kant's too little and to big antinomy explanation,
