    Science and Spirituality

    When I have experiences that emerge from interactions with science and the natural world that include feelings of connection, meaning and wonder. For example, knowing that the Earth was created through thousands of chance occurrences, makes me feel in awe of the place I live in. Or the...

    Science and Spirituality

    Different religions/beliefs equals different doctrines and dogmas. (Dogmatism). So beliefs in God/s can be divisive more then no belief. Nature and science are what they are.

    Science and Spirituality

    Yes of course, whatever works for an individual is good. However, IMO, if more people embraced the idea of the natural and science, and let go of the 'narrow' views of religion, we would not have the divisions that beliefs in god can bring.

    Science and Spirituality

    Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognise our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and...

    Why don't Incels and pornography and sex addicttid people care more about the meaning of life ?

    most people? And are you genuine when you ask a question like this? I don't think you can judge too harshly, some people who devote their whole life to sex and women might not be fully 'adjusted' but lets hope they can get themselves on the 'right track'. Living profoundly as you call, can be...

    Why does personal experience change from time to time ?

    I think this is a very hard question and one with many different answers. How you find an answer to such a question, is important. For me, I'd approach it in a pragmatic way.

    Is God Material Or Immaterial

    No, I agreed with you :)

    Teleological Argument (Aquinas)

    And I try and keep an open mind but I just can't see it.

    To what extent should we push back on religion?

    Yeah that's all good but to tell you the truth that is a little hard to understand, you're too smart for me with your copious amount of RF experience, so could you tone it down a bit please, you've laid it on nice and thick. But at the end of the day, religions often come from the belief in and...

    To what extent should we push back on religion?

    Yeah religion may have various definitions but this one is pretty close to the one that resonates with me and possibly many parts of Western Society. Religion comes from the '......belief in and worship of a superhuman power or powers, especially a God or gods." So yes I think you can certainly...

    Is God Material Or Immaterial

    It's whatever you want it to be. If you think you can grasp god, then you can. And if you think god is 'real', so be it. Remember though, it's purely a subjective experience and can't be proven.

    Teleological Argument (Aquinas)

    This may be beyond me but this sounds like an explanation for natural selection and evolution, this may be over simplifying things. The acorn turns into an oak tree because of natural selection, evolution?

    What is a mid life crisis ?

    I think if you want to lessen inequality, you should follow this. No extremes on either side. Simple :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centre-left_politics

    Are humans only the larval stage?

    Yes, unfortunately in Australia we have done the same and our attitudes need to change to turn it around. The indigenousness people of Australia were one with the land and hopefully we can learn more from them...

    People who think they are going to Heaven - what do you think of this?

    They came up with this heaven & hell idea so people might follow God more or whatever. Who cares if there are certain people who thinks this is what happens after you die, it's ridiculous. People believe in this sort of stuff because it makes them feel better and that's good. As an atheist I'm...

    Are humans only the larval stage?

    Yes, I see what you mean and you are right. If we keep treating the Earth in the same way, humanity will be in bigger trouble. Everything is out of balance. However, is technology our best bet to deal with our problems? And, we are allowed to enjoy some of the amazing scientific wonders...

    Let's Debate Inequality

    Increase minimum wage. Ensure money generated from taxes is spent on incentives for 'poorer' people to find their way out of poverty. Things like education, incentives for work, more assistance for single parent families. Policies left of centre, like Denmark for example, share the wealth

    Was you baptised as a child?

    Yeah I was baptised as a Catholic and the rest of the sacraments.
