    Does the Left Take Any Responsibility for the Assassination Attempts on Trump?

    No, you get the dictionary, and you state which of the definitions you mean, and to what part of American society you apply that meaning. That's your task, not mine. I suggest you do so promptly lest people continue to suspect you really don't know what you mean.

    Atheists: does God exist?

    If I did, it would make little difference ─ as your failure to hold your breath for an hour shows. Reality is out there and we perceive it. Whether you wish to look at it or not, it's still out there as it was when you wrote your reply above and is as I write this. You think science isn't...

    Who can fathom the infinite?

    That's wholly conceptual. There is no real Mandelbrot image with infinite repeats.

    Who can fathom the infinite?

    That seems fair. It confirms my view that the only manner in which God is known to exist is as a concept, notion, thing imagined in an individual brain. In fact I'm not aware of any definition of God that is appropriate to a being with objective existence. Nor any definition of 'godness'...

    Who can fathom the infinite?

    Science doesn't make absolute statements. I don't make absolute statements. Gods don't make absolute statements (nor do their representatives). If you can give me a satisfactory demonstration of a real God, one with objective existence, who gives clear and responsive answers to questions, then...

    Young women leaving religion more than young men.

    First, I don't know; I'm simply guessing. Second, the Abrahamic churches have all tended to emphasize intolerance of homosexuality let alone present day gender roles, and stress the centrality of marriage, roles for the male and roles for the female in marriage, the words of God putting males...

    Evolution My ToE

    Go well, then ... but be careful about believing things without evidence ─ you could end up goodness knows where with that!

    Who can fathom the infinite?

    No, it's not 'fallacious reasoning'. It's an observation about the world external to the self, and if you disagree, just point to a real infinity in the universe and demonstrate its infinity.

    Evolution My ToE

    So where is your evidence that the world is NOT 4.6 bn years old? And how old do you think the universe is, if not the nearly 14 bn years indicated by astronomy? And again, on the basis of what evidence?

    Atheists: does God exist?

    We continue to differ on this point. As I've said before, we know about the world external to the self via our senses. It's where our parents, air, water, food, shelter, society and RF are found. As I've also said before, if you think instead that the self is everything, try going without air...

    Rediscoveries of the Milky Way

    The relevant links that I asked you for were from reputable scientific publications, not a whole barrage of Youtubeing. So as it was in the beginning, I take it you have none. That's fine/ Have a nice day.

    Atheists: does God exist?

    Yes, there is the self, and there's the world external to the self which we know about through our senses, objective reality. Just because I can imagine a god, a goblin, a ghost doesn't mean that my imagining corresponds to a real entity with objective reality. Your statement above is not...

    Atheists: does God exist?

    If I have to look 'within' then you understand the point I'm making ─ that gods aren't real, don't have objective existence, aren't found out there, but exist only as ideas, very often influenced by the particular culture.

    Atheists: does God exist?

    I mean appear like your parents, friends, neighbors, appear, like the trees in your street, like the bees in your rose garden, the earth under your feet. In my head I can imagine all the gods, fairies, pixies, Voldemorts, I want, but none of them corresponds to a known entity out there in...

    Who can fathom the infinite?

    I'm not aware of any real infinities in reality. Infinity is a concept, basically that the number line is unlimited in extent (Cantor's reworkings of infinity being entirely conceptual in application). For example, let's take the Planck length as the minimum meaningful length in reality ─ let's...

    Atheists: does God exist?

    And if you're a believer, then outside the debate boards of RF I totally respect your right to hold such beliefs as you believe are true / helpful. I can't see any basis for such views, much as there are many beautiful and moving moments in nature (as there are in art, in discovery, in personal...

    Atheists: does God exist?

    But God never appears, never says, never does, and the only manner in which [he]'s known to exist is as a concept, notion, thing imagined in an individual brain. [He] doesn't even have a description appropriate to a being that has objective existence ie is found in nature, the world external to...

    Does the Left Take Any Responsibility for the Assassination Attempts on Trump?

    To work out what you're trying to think, and tell you? I entirely disagree.

    Does the Left Take Any Responsibility for the Assassination Attempts on Trump?

    Not my job to work out what you're trying to say. But it's your job to have some reasonably clear perception of what you're trying to say and to articulate it clearly. Not a job, apparently, that you're very good at. But have a nice day.

    Does the Left Take Any Responsibility for the Assassination Attempts on Trump?

    Good heavens! You can't even define your own terms! Takes all sorts, I guess.
