    Is God an Alternative Fact?

    If your existence is not governed by the acts of selection then why not conduct the thought experiment in real life to confirm your opinions to the contrary of the laws that govern your existence? If indeed you are correct and the findings are a "theory", then what do you have to lose? Please...

    Is God an Alternative Fact?

    Which came first, your thoughts or the brain that generated your thoughts? Take away the acts of selection and your brain dies along with its thoughts. If you understood this, then you would also understand that the Nature of your reality prohibits you from questioning what you are not entitled...

    Is God an Alternative Fact?

    The hypothesis is simple. If the two acts of selection are effects of our physical existence, i.e., thought, then anyone can safely conduct the thought experiment in real life and continue to live. If the two acts of selection are the cause of our physical existence then no one can conduct the...

    Is God an Alternative Fact?

    Reality is not a belief and that is why you refuse to put your money (life) where your mouth is (God believer) by not conducting the thought experiment in real life. You insists on using the acts of selection to create your examples without acknowledging that you cannot even create a single...

    Is God an Alternative Fact?

    Ok, if being in a comma or being a quadriplegic you can continue your existence without a direct or indirect selection being made then you will have empirical evidence that your existence is not governed by the two acts of selection but by your "open mind". So when will you confirm in real life...

    Is God an Alternative Fact?

    Your logic is based on the existence of 'if" when your existence is based on "how" it came to exist as can be verified via the thought experiment in "real" life. The reality of our existence does not allow "if" prior to "how". That is why not a single human being can continue its existence...

    Is God an Alternative Fact?

    Good point which is exactly the point. Believers use their beliefs as a substitute for facts, i.e., alternative facts. When confronted with actual facts, believers will choose ignorance, as exemplified by comments made by Bird123, over absolute facts. The dilemma is real for those who will not...

    Is God an Alternative Fact?

    Then support your belief that your existence is God given and not governed by the two acts of selection by conducting the thought experiment in real life. If you refuse to do so yet continue to believe your existence is God given then you are lying to yourself, plain and simple.

    Is God an Alternative Fact?

    Self-causality as you propose if true of our existence can be tested via the thought experiment in real life. When you validate your beliefs by actually testing them, then and only then, will your beliefs be based on reality. Until then, to think that your existence is God given in contradiction...

    Is God an Alternative Fact?

    How can a human being "build a box" without first making a selection? How can a human being conduct an "experiment" without first making a selection? How can a human being be "open for the truth" or "investigate" without first making a selection? How can a human being conduct an...

    Is God an Alternative Fact?

    Oh my, I actually thought I was having a conversation with a sane individual. My mistake. When you exhibit the integrity of your convictions by conducting the Final Selection Thought Experiment in real life ... what sane people call reality, then and only then will you have something to teach...

    Is God an Alternative Fact?

    Which came first the physical brain or its thoughts? In order for there to be "possibilities" a selection must first be made. And since you wish to play the quantum mechanics card then you need to understand that QM is not a causal theory, more importantly, it has been proven to be an incomplete...

    Is God an Alternative Fact?

    In order to be "spiritual" beings it is necessary to "exist" as such. Unambiguous empirical evidence has shown existence does not preexist. Existence is an effect of non-existence. This means that existence of a "spiritual" being or a physical being are not origins of existence since both are...

    Is God an Alternative Fact?

    Since human being cannot act in violation of the two laws that govern our existence, we cannot be subjective of the mechanics that enable the effect of being subjective. Subjectivity comes after the fact not before fact. Cart before the horse.

    Is God an Alternative Fact?

    Subjectivity of facts does not make facts subjective.

    Is God an Alternative Fact?

    When you ignore reality (fact) then you can make up your own reality (fiction). When you are not bound by reality you can then create your own reality. There is a term for the mental state that uses fiction over fact. We call it delusion.

    Is God an Alternative Fact?

    Which came first, your brain or its thoughts? Nature prohibits the existence of thoughts superseding the existence of our physical reality. Understand this and you can understand why the God theory is a false and unnatural belief.

    A Proof that God Exists

    Really? Then please explain the following question: How much does a direct or indirect selection weigh, what are their scales, and where was the mutually exclusive selection variable you used to read these words located when you used it?

    A Proof that God Exists

    If everything that exists is an absolute as you say then it is also necessary that non-existence is also an absolute which in turn means that there are two absolutes not one. "Causation" as commonly understood, e.g., the existence of an effect causing the existence of an effect, is indeed a...

    A Proof that God Exists

    If God exist then that means that your existence is govern by God. Yes or No?
