Is it simply because unlike physics, science cannot fully explain consciousness yet?
Won’t be long and unfortunately all hope will be lost
However, I do hope this is wrong, I would love for something mysterious to be present. Probably the closest thing to god I would ever get to.
Yes, science doesn’t fully understand Quantum theory.
But are you saying that there is something else that can explain it better? Maybe something super natural?
Please enlighten us
And what about consciousness? Same deal?
I ask a lot of Christians this question, just curious.
Why do you think the stuff written in the bible, isn't just stuff made up by people with 'agendas' or good imaginations?
Isn't that more likely then god actually saying things?
I care about the 2nd law of thermodynamics. It could be a metaphor about what you are referring too. Who's the hotter? Theist or Atheist?
More balance/order or more imbalance/disorder? Or will we reach a state of ambience?
Yes it is, it’s the biggest religion in the country
And don’t they swear on the bible in court.
And isn’t god (Supposedly a Christian) referred to in the national anthem.
Probably more examples like this but I don’t live there.
Firstly, you have to believe the bible is gods word, and in all likelihood it’s not, so anything in the bible is just some man made up idea. Jibba jabber by a bunch of ‘wackos’
And that is the word of the man
Please bear with me, I'm a novice to philosophy and these are just my ideas.
Perception of forms that are universal, do exist independent of our human mind, they are objective, yes? However, these perceptions come from our mind which have evolved, so we can perceive these forms at an immaterial...
This heaven sounds like hope to some people. And that's cool, whatever helps people get through their life, is a good thing.
Do you think God created this world a little crappy 'a storehouse of suffering' so we will appreciate heaven more? Otherwise, why did he create it in the first place?
I must admit I have trouble understanding why people care so much about something that is no where near developed, it doesn't care if its terminated, it just doesn't matter, does it?
Its the mothers choice, she's the one doing all the work and will have to do all the work, not the foetus.

Having a nice day with the family
Watching conservatives take a beating at an election
Playing golf, watching the footy and having a beer with my mates.
Now that's heaven
Yes, maybe what you say has some truth.
Couple of things though, I find the hypocrisy a little annoying. Lots of 'believers' go against some of my social beliefs (Which I think Jesus would have agreed with), so if you believe in god and have 'crappy' social beliefs, then you need to be...
Can't we just 'dumb' it down a bit and say that our intellect is simply part of human's evolution. It's simply part of nature.
And all this pondering is just an example of how evolved our brain has become. And remember Plato didn't know about evolution
All this talk about 'what's a table?' is...
I think its important to know evolution developed our consciousness because it was at that point we were then able know truths, concepts and interpret reality to survive and thrive.
So, our consciousness is part of evolution, our physical being therefore the minds 'unexplainable' features are a...
Yes okay, are you saying that there is something 'super natural' to help us understand the mysteries of consciousness?
Isn't it more that likely that our consciousness developed naturally over millions of years and is part of our physical reality.
