    numbers and existence?

    It has not "been true" nor will it always "be true" because propositional (truth)-valuation is atemporal. Put simply, it is true that "All bachelors are unmarried." This is not true because in this particular universe on this particular planet the term "bachelor" is generally applied to men who...

    Is Free Will Incompatible with Neuroscience?

    I stated: In other words, I'm not making theological assumptions and they aren't scientific. I had raised them in the context of history and the origins of the concept of natural laws. I was not and am not claiming there is any connection between between how I or any other physicist or...

    Is Free Will Incompatible with Neuroscience?

    I'm agnostic. Nothing you've stated above describes me nor any position I hold. I can't make theological assumptions personally as I am not a theist. You've fundamentally misunderstood me and completely misrepresented my position

    Quantum Mechanics becomes less mysterious.

    This ^^ The authors finish their paper which the OPs linked article concerns with this remark: "Our result indicates that the idea of gravity-related wave function collapse, which remains very appealing, will probably require a radically new approach." I've attached the relevant paper for the...

    Physicists Just Found a New Quantum Paradox That Casts Doubt on a Pillar of Reality

    No, because like the articles you link to it is popular science. Unlike many of the articles you link to it seems to have been written by the authors of the 2020 Nature study (which was peer-reviewed). It is not. It is a paper that is based on new work since ~2016 first in theoretical...

    Physicists Just Found a New Quantum Paradox That Casts Doubt on a Pillar of Reality

    There is some important context that is almost entirely missing from both the popular summary in the OP’s link and the corresponding published paper. This is actually a rather perfect example of the numerous ways that popular science presentations distort actual scientific inquiry in diverse...

    Is Free Will Incompatible with Neuroscience?

    Any theological assumptions must be accepted by "faith" and are not scientific, IMO. But the references to theology I made were historical. I was responding to a claim about the philosophical origins and nature of certain aspects of scientific inquiry, and in the case of determinism and natural...

    Is Free Will Incompatible with Neuroscience?

    What Natural Laws might you be referring to?

    Is Free Will Incompatible with Neuroscience?

    1) A great deal of scientific inquiry makes no use of deterministic theories or models but rather probabilistic models and statistical structures. From high-energy particle physics and quantum theory to medical research and neuroscience to dendroclimatology and evolutionary biology and so on...

    Why is science knowledge not considered more important than religious belief?

    The issue is the assumption that one can adequately classify or characterize the natural sciences or the sciences more generally by The Scientific Method (TSM) myth such that these sciences exist as such, and secondarily that such a generalization of actual methods used serves to demarcate the...

    Why do You Find Scientific Knowledge and Spiritual Knowledge to be Incompatible?

    This is only because of a non-trivial "simplification" and omission on the part of elementary (read "beginning graduate or upper-level undergraduate) textbooks. But even so, every Hilbert space is a Banach space. The primary operators that characterize the states of their classical counterparts...

    Why is science knowledge not considered more important than religious belief?

    In the interest of the OP and similar current threads, it is worth noting that few things have done more harm to public misunderstanding and misconceptions of scientific inquiry than that pernicious, fundamentally misleading myth of The Scientific Method. There is no set of step-wise procedures...

    Why do You Find Scientific Knowledge and Spiritual Knowledge to be Incompatible?

    You covered functional analysis (the calculus of infinite-dimensional spaces and in particular the algebras and representations of bounded and unbounded operaters of e.g. Banach spaces ) and tensor calculus on manifolds in high school?

    Can the scientific method be applied to study supernatural phenomena?

    It is interesting to note the ways in which what makes a good scientist varies with respect to and often just because of issues related to these topics, but I don't think you're there yet. After all, the truth of what I say need not rest on my words but is rather reflected in current and past...

    Can the scientific method be applied to study supernatural phenomena?

    On the grounds that in all the years I've spent working as a scientist I've never used "it", nor known of other scientists (regardless of their field) who have. It is a pedagogical myth, and not a good one at that. There are indeed more general methods that scientists use, rendering...

    Can the scientific method be applied to study supernatural phenomena?

    -establish that such a thing as The Scientific Method exists outside of pre-college and undergraduate textbooks and define it. Which are? That is, what are the laws of nature that would or could be contradicted?

    Paul and Ex Nihilo

    I couldn't find it among my files but did locate it searching: Wilson, J. D. (2010). A Case for the Traditional Translation and Interpretation of Genesis 1:1 Based Upon a Multi-Leveled Linguistic Analysis. PhD Dissertation (Southern Baptist Theological Seminary). See Attached Not if one...

    Nature of universe/matter

    The resolution levels of such studies is far, far, far beyond any ability we have. In almost all research we do to study the kinds of brain activities involved here we rely on things such as BOLD contrast signals. We can neither directly study nor can we come remotely close to modeling such...

    Paul and Ex Nihilo

    It seems as if you believe you already know the answer to what you ask. And while there are many who would agree with you, there is compelling evidence that the concept of creatio ex nihilo was already present in Jewish circles by at least the first century (not to mention in the origins of...
