    Absolute proof against the multiverse

    Regardless to the point, of course. Experience, logic and history are all scientific to the degree that they are applied scientifically. Ethics is not concerned so much with the properties of reality, so much as the properties of us. Certainly, in this context it can weigh on the usage of...

    Absolute proof against the multiverse

    I know what you meant. I responded exactly to it. Your conclusion is contingent upon at least 8 assumptions. 1 the universe is fine tuned 2 multiverse explains fine tuning These two are granted by the OP. Assumed for the sake of discussion. 3 multiverse indicates abundant intelligence. The...

    Absolute proof against the multiverse

    This, in essence (and in my opinion) is the best rebuttal to any and all solipsistic notions. Projection, illusion, dream, simulation, artificial or natural; science has been, is, and will remain the best way to discover, explain and utilize the properties of reality. If anything, we will refine...

    Absolute proof against the multiverse

    I don't believe that is implicit, but I believe your point is demonstrated regardless (because some of the below is not unlikely at all) so I will leave that aside. Simulations exist demonstrably within this universe. So, yes on simulations, but no on 'actual'. That is an incredible stretch of...

    How do You Envision Heaven and Hell?

    In Heaven, I'm in charge of everything and everything goes according to plan, no matter how lazy or illogical that plan is. In Hell, I'm in charge of everything and everything goes haywire no matter how hard I try. I like reality. I'm in charge of everything and it can go either way for a...

    How do we conceive reality?

    I've been choked out during combative training more than once and yes, I know that old TV feeling, well!

    How do we conceive reality?

    I am incapable of perceiving reality in its entirety as I simply lack the sensory input necessary to do so. If I did not compartmentalize even the small piece of reality that I perceive into easily manageable chunks, I would be bogged down in mountains of inconsequential details. Imagine, I...

    The Bible has proven itself through its teachings.

    Much like the pop music charts. Crowd appeal builds on itself as the sheep struggle to appear socially relevant to each other and commence 'enjoying' whatever is popular. Meanwhile, the shepherds sharpen their sheers on focus groups and tune the pied piper's flute to the lowest common...

    The Bible has proven itself through its teachings.

    It proves you don't need things like plot structure, character development, consistent theme or continuity to make a best seller.

    The Problem with Christian Music

    Tom Araya from Slayer is a Catholic. So, if that makes Slayer Christian music then I love it. Edit: I'm particularly fond of the mighty Christian anthem New Faith on their album God Hates Us All.

    Abortion question.

    I do mean both secularly and doctrinally. John 17:17 does not say: That is doctrine from you, not John 17:17.

    Abortion question.

    What a Christian should or shouldn't do in order to qualify is not my concern. That's for y'all to determine in your own individual ways. But I do mean all Christians believe things that are not in the Bible.

    Abortion question.

    Yes, that's fine. Christians believe lots of things that aren't in the Bible. Go figure.

    Is God being unfair? (Languages)

    'Fairness' is impossible to determine given the variables involved. It does not have the appearance of fairness from my current perspective, no. One of many reasons not to believe in such a God, in my opinion.

    humanity beginning theory at atheism

    Homo Sapiens would have 'began' as a series of (or more properly a matrix or manifold of) mutations of 'another species'. Therefore male and female had been established long before. I do not think it is proper to think of humans as having a specific 'beginning'. Each one of us is in essence a...

    Abortion question.

    Funny, ain't it? Their version of Heaven us exactly like Hell, only they get to hold the pitchforks. Kinda makes you wonder. Closet masochism aside, I do find the descriptions of what Hell is like to be far more detailed than the corresponding description of Heaven ever seems to be. As if it's...

    Abortion question.

    I just wonder if heaven comes equipped with a little window to look down into hell so that this pastor can gaze in smug self-satisfaction at burning hell-babies.

    The god semantics language of argument

    Indeed, that's the convincing bit if you happen to be from The North. If you happen to be a Targaryan though, you're inclined to need more convincing. Too much convincing, it seems. The Targaryans managed to unconvince The North for centuries with dragons and their very own Stark to declare them...

    The god semantics language of argument

    I'm sure I tried but clearly failed to answer sufficiently. God is really a title. Like king. In many cases kingship came from birth right, but in the creation of such positions (despite the obvious ruse of 'divine' right) you must agree that the right to rule came directly from the ruler's...

    The god semantics language of argument

    I must say, I responded to the thread in question the way I did specifically to avoid the canned debate about the nature of God. I preferred to concede to whatever definition they may have and demonstrated the folly of their position regardless of what the specific definition happens to be.
