    Are humans only the larval stage?

    Okay fair enough, I agree as a result of technology there are certain negatives with the way humanity is travelling, I for one have been banging on about climate change for decades but I have faith that things will be okay. And never forget about the fact that now you can live an extra 30...

    Knowledge, evidence, truth, proof, assumption, axiom, belief, faith and so on

    Knowledge, evidence, truth, proof, assumption, axiom, belief, faith firstly depends on your level of consciousness. Knowledge, beliefs, truths and understanding can be gained in two ways Rationalism (Nature) and Empiricism (Nurture) And you can express this knowledge, beliefs, truths and...

    Are humans only the larval stage?

    That's a little pessimistic, what about all the wonderful things humans have achieved because of technology. And all the amazing positive futuristic technologies that could make the world and humanity a better place. I'm not sure but I imagine thousands of years a go, pagans where using all...

    Are humans only the larval stage?

    Because of our intelligence, is it still biological evolution if humans can develop certain types of technology that alters our biological makeup, for example some type of human brain computer or new drugs that can make us smarter. Could we evolve into some sort of super human or of course the...

    What is Evidence?

    Yes, you're right What of the large complex systems within the realms of science. Science can observe them without changing the objective reality. No matter what subjective thoughts. Evidence is indisputable. I think this is a very good 'balanced' article discussing Objective Reality...

    What is Evidence?

    Okay, are you saying everything is independent of the mind? Objective reality doesn't exist? I think a objective reality & truths exists in science. How can these large complex systems of the universe work without it? Evidence is indisputable. I think this is a very good 'balanced' article...

    What is Evidence?

    Yes, misunderstanding, you're right my thoughts can be recorded. My point was if you asked an expert to put a rating on these questions, they would be more 'meaningful' No you're right individual statements are not evidence. That's like having ten priest say god exists. However, I'm more then...

    What is Evidence?

    Is it fair to say that what one person sees as an objective reality is different from the next person. And there are only a handful of objective truths like maths and physics? Everything else is on a 'scale' of some sort? (100% to 0% real) For example, I might see an object and say the object...

    What is Evidence?

    Yes, I suppose everything can be measured in a way but its just my opinion and that can hardly be called evidence. Its about the type of evidence presented. If you you asked an expert in the relevant fields, then it would hold more credence.

    What is Evidence?

    Yeah cool, I think that's faith, your personal beliefs and your beliefs can have its own evidence

    What is Evidence?

    Do you mean feelings as in emotions or how you feel about something because I think they are different. Emotions can be measured through self-assessment questionnaires or only with objective psychophysics or brain imaging. How you feel about something can not be measured?

    What is Evidence?

    Yeah, I assume what you are referring to is faith? Or simply a subjective experience like how you feel about something. Or could you explain some examples or situations where something is evident without proof of reasoning. Thanks

    What is Evidence?

    Yes I see what you mean. However, would you agree humans are looking for the most probable or most correct outcome, therefore science & evidence based studies do this more than anything else. Or are you only referring to purely subjective experiences like how you feel about something or thoughts?

    Are humans only the larval stage?

    It's a metaphor, isn't it?

    Why does God allow loneliness to exist ?

    I think we are, we are highly evolved animals and some are going to be lonely. It’s part of the evolutionary journey of the human being, the incredible diversity that makes up the rich tapestry of who we are what we will become. And loneliness is one part of that.

    Are humans only the larval stage?

    Yes, we are at the beginning of our existence, billions of years to go

    What is Evidence?

    What do you mean by this? Some examples, please.

    There is no evidence for God, so why do you believe?

    In the right setting, it's the closest thing to getting proof. To find out things, various governments use studies, professionals of all walks use studies, scientist use studies. What do you think people should use to understand things better?

    Where Does Wisdom Come From?

    Really?? Okay, maybe fear is the wrong word but it wouldn't bother you if got cancer for example?
  20. Madsaac

    Where Does Wisdom Come From?

    Fear of dying. As humans we want to stay alive, it's so natural. I think that's one of the main differences between us and animals, they don't concern themselves with death like we do. And as atheist death is the one area where I wish I believed in god.
