    Spirit Realm

    I don't think there is a spirit realm, and the term 'spirit realm' sounds like something from a teen novel or movie. What you see is all there is, and that's more than enough

    Does religion consist of things we want to believe in simply because we think they will be helpful to us?

    I think there is definatley a trade off. It's like everything you commit to, there has to be some sort of 'reward' or return. It's purely a subjective experience

    On the nature of intellect

    This is true, where did it all come from, maybe a 'god' of some sort, unfortunately we'll probably never know. Yes, you put it well but I think these questions are still, and probably will be best answered best through 'scientific' methods rather than what we don't know, the made up, if you will.

    On the nature of intellect

    Yes, the mystery of consciousness. Penrose, may well be right with the idea of Quantum Mechanics and the consciousness. One of the biggest questions for humanity And there seems to be many other ideas about consciousness. Here's one example...

    On the nature of intellect

    I love a good sci fi novel, and often fantasize and speculate but unfortunately there is nothing apart from fictional stories to suggest there is anything beyond the physical world we live in. If you have any good theories or ideas, please share.

    On the nature of intellect

    Yes, what does that say about metaphysics. Its an old idea, that's fun to reflect upon, the infinite possibilities of our mind. Actual fact, we know our mind operates because of our physical being, and as time goes on, this is becoming more apparent. In 2000 years time, people will be thinking...

    On the nature of intellect

    Yes but because of science we are closer to knowing there is no 'third realm' or the increased improbability of it. Imagine Plato, Aristotle, Pythagoras or Euclid came back to life today, having access to the 'tools' of today. They would say, yes the probability of a 'third realm' is unlikely.

    On the nature of intellect

    No, it seems they were some of the most intelligent people in history. However, I thought intellect was the way we acquired knowledge and obviously we have better ways of doing that, these days. And because of that we have been able to answer questions today, that weren't able to be answered...

    On the nature of intellect

    Humans intellect has moved beyond that of the Ancient Greeks because of the resources available to us. Therefore we have shown that the possibility of a 'third realm' is very unlikely.

    On the nature of intellect

    Isn't this idea, an opinion formed from there knowledge and resources of the day. Humans intellect has improved beyond the days of the ancient Greeks because of available resources. Is this fact or your assumptions? Could, the intellects/scientists of today, run this formula and come up with...

    Quantum communications and non-local awareness

    There must be some 'mundane' explanation's of Quantum entanglement, available to us now that are more likely true, rather than another level of existence or reality? I'm more then happy to be told otherwise, because that would be very cool.

    Quantum communications and non-local awareness

    First of all, I want to say, that my knowledge on Quantum Mechanics etc is very limited This to me sounds like you are 'hoping' for something beyond the realms of the everyday. And me too, it would be unreal for something beyond the normal to be found. However, it seems more likely that...

    Teleological Argument (Aquinas)

    I think we have to have a link of some sort to make this claim, an objective understanding of some sort, truth, facts, because nothing exists until we know about it or see it. For example, there may be life on other planets because we understand physics, biology and so on. However, if we didn't...

    Teleological Argument (Aquinas)

    No, isn't it, by the way of our consciousness, we become creators of possibility. Animals exist but don't create possibilities. Things that are objectively true, have always been and always will be objectively true. (The large majority of objectively true things)

    Tell me your thoughts on God

    God exists in two ways. 1. Something that could have started the big bang or before and has had nothing to do with the universe since. 2. When humans evolved consciousness and needed help to understand their world, they made up 'god' in their highly developed, creative brain. (God didn't...

    Italy makes surrogacy an universal crime

    Yeah this is very sad indeed. I don't see the problem at all. If it doesn't hurt anyone and done correctly, it can make someone very, very happy. Children have been the best thing in my life. Why do you care what other people do in the privacy of their own life? People who oppose surrogacy...

    Abortion Laws

    I think the laws should be whatever the health professionals say are safe and what women want. Simple

    Politics is the religion of atheists

    Yes a I agree but I mean as an interest, a past time. A way to believe in something meaningful, to be part of something bigger than oneself.

    Politics is the religion of atheists

    Yes all true but finder solace with 'bigger' issues may mean that atheist could turn to politics instead of religion?
