    God versus Country

    Yeah people have the right to believe in their god and religion but if it interferes with 'good' governance of that country, that's when there is a problem. It seems, in general that countries (Western) with the least amount of interference from religion, are the happiest and most prosperous...

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

    Thanks, what about a real example in life Yes, it is but my point is that you could just keep diving deeper & deeper into each aspect of knowledge. I know there is so much more but having the basis of what knowledge is what's important to to me. So regarding knowledge and beliefs, is any of...

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

    Yeah but we're getting pedantic. Lets just compare it in a broader sense to subjective beliefs and knowledge. Could you give some examples, please Yeah, that's right but its function is still the same? I have to go but I would like to continue with this somehow. Thanks

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

    Yes, but they are still regarded as objective. Yes, but what matters is the function of evidence? What role does evidence play?

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

    It might be different but it's still certainly an objective truth based on evidence Evidence as a concept? What do you mean? It's either there or it isn't? Logical positivism and empirical falsification are just forms of empiricism, something tested.

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

    Thanks for your honesty. Maybe my answer was a little too complicated ;) Let me break it down Knowledge, beliefs and understanding are gained in two ways Rationalism (Nature) and Empiricism (Nurture) Express your knowledge, beliefs and understanding in two main ways: Subjectively (Opinion)...

    Depends if he would get upset if he knows we know. But good generally

    Yeah, no worries mate.

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

    I suppose its just an opinion of mine that having evidence can make something more real or true. And I think this opinion would be supported by the large majority of people. And like all opinions, they can range from possibly up to very little doubt. And when you have evidence of something...

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

    This can down the proverbial a rabbit hole, I'll try and answer Intuition or experience are the ways ways that I know something or going to know something. And there are two types of knowledge, one that require evidence and one that doesn't So knowing can be subjective, that is what I think I...

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

    ??? Don't you believe something is more real or true, if there is evidence to support it? Yes or No? And if you asked the population of the world, what % of yes' compared to no's would there be? And it's important to know the reasons behind the result? And what could they be on this occasion?

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

    Well we don't really know how far physicalism can or will account for the world, I've been listening to a few podcast with Daniel Dennett and he seems thinks it goes a long way. It possible, as time moves on science will be able to account for more. Doesn't mean we still won't have wonder...

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

    Opinion? Don't we all agree that having evidence to back up a claim makes something more 'real' or true. Isn't epistemic responsibility stronger if it's supported with evidence? Otherwise your judgement is purely subjective? For example, is it going to rain tomorrow? How do you know we won't...

    Can something exist and not exist at the same time ?

    Some good thoughts there and love the song :)

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

    I'm not making into a subjective norm, the linguistic experts did, and don't you think we should put our trust in these experts? And haven't humans already made objectives norms on behaviour. For example, wouldn't 90% of us on this forum agree on the correct way to act?
  17. Madsaac

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

    I think you are saying 'real' can be somewhat abstract, a 'feeling' that something is true or real What about these meanings - having objective independent existence - occurring or existing in actuality - not artificial, fraudulent, or illusory

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

    Yes this is true. So because metaphysical concepts may not be observable or measurable, it is harder to call them 'real' Do you think they are still real, even though you can't measure or observe them? I hope one day down the track we will be able to observe and measure them but now its just...

    What is your definition of real?
  20. Madsaac

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

    Doesn't it just end up being what you think 'real' means? What is your definition of real? If it includes metaphysics, then good If someone's definition of 'real' includes their god, then god exists. As far as I'm concerned, metaphysics has a lot of maybes, or possibilities, things that can't...
