    Australia: 'White supremacists rally in country NSW town of Corowa, angering locals'

    Don't think that's technically illegal. Not in Australia anyway.

    Why is there anything at all?

    Apparently. But then how and why was the universe born with -0- entropy, or near perfect order?

    I just shared the full extent of my computer knowledge :thumbsup:

    If you were from an alien species how would you approach contacting Earth?

    So by the time one of these vessels reached a distant world, they’d have lost all first hand knowledge of their own? Such a nomadic people, emerging like a caravan from the deserts of space, would be staggered by the beauty of our planet. Imagine them witnessing their first sunset.

    Is a philosopher king/benevolent dictator preferable?

    Wouldn’t it be the role of a dictator, benevolent or otherwise, to tell the population what to do and how to behave? This being so, tension and conflict will have to be resolved. And this will inevitably lead to resentment, subversion, more tension, more conflict; a vicious circle, in other...

    Teleological Argument (Aquinas)

    This is in effect an (as yet) unfalsifiable axiom of the materialist worldview. All we can say with absolute certainty is that, without the participation of a conscious observer, no evidence for the properties of any entity, can be discerned. Beyond that, all statements about the relationship...

    Teleological Argument (Aquinas)

    Well firstly, I’m not trying to sell anything. As for Aristotle, wasn’t the principle of causality the most fundamental of his beliefs about the physical world? “We do not say we know a thing, until we know it’s causes.” Isn’t that one of the axioms of physics to this day? So he clearly wasn’t...

    Have you tried turning it off and on again?

    Survey: Trump's Faults

    Trump’s faults are America’s faults. How have you come to this? America

    Let's Talk About Shiva

    Who knows the truth? Who can tell us whence and how arose this universe? The gods are later than it’s beginning: who knows therefore whence comes this creation? Only the god who sees in highest heaven: he only knows whence comes this universe, and whether it was made or uncreated. He only...

    If We All Became Atheists?

    That last is an interesting point. I haven’t examined the statistics, but I can offer some anecdotal evidence. I used to live in an area of London which was impoverished but home to a large, mostly Moslem, immigrant population. Thieving was rare and the streets were safe to walk at night; you...

    If We All Became Atheists?

    Wow. That’s quite the tirade; so much bitterness, so much prejudice. It must be hard for you to carry that around. And yet you choose to live in a country where religion shows no sign at all of disappearing. Why is that, do you think? I do hope your Mexican neighbours are more tolerant of your...

    Would the human race be ready to come in contact with an intelligent alien race?

    Well if they've come all this way, it'd be silly for them to hang around outside without saying hello.

    If We All Became Atheists?

    The 20th Century was the bloodiest in human history, thanks in large part to two secular ideologies, fascism and communism. Centuries after the European enlightenment, Europe descended into the the most savage episodes in it’s long and brutal history, so I think you probably have the wrong...

    If We All Became Atheists?

    If atheism is lack of an opinion, why are atheists in general so opinionated?

    If We All Became Atheists?

    It’s humans that have proven to be violent, dogmatic and not open to reason or compromise.

    Why Didn't the Universe Always Exist?

    “Wetness” is a property of water. What chemical compound is consciousness a property of?

    Teleological Argument (Aquinas)

    Prayer and meditation predate psychotherapy by millennia, so putting their efficacy down to a field of study which is little over a hundred years old, is clearly meaningless. But of course, if your only values are material values, and the only progress you recognise is material progress, you are...
