    Philosophy and Science

    *******Porting this conversation into it's own thread as it was off the main topic of original OP. I'd like to respond by starting with two definitions. From Wikipedia I obtained the following definition of Philosophy: “Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental questions, such as...

    The idol of atheism, or hardest proof ever?

    WHAT DOES THE NEO-ATHEISM REJECT? Q: Atheism is not a doctrine. Theism is the doctrine. Atheism is the rejection of that doctrine. It's not a doctrine by itself. It means that when a theist claims "God exists!", that the atheist then replies "I don't believe you". Or when the theist asks "do...

    The Limits of Understanding

    Take a much needed “corona-hysteria-break” and listen to this video Abstract: In 1931, Austrian logician Kurt Gödel shocked the worlds of mathematics and philosophy by establishing that statements are far more than a quirky turn of language: He showed that there are mathematical truths which...

    Heaven & Hell - Good & bad

    When you ask religious people "what is heaven or hell?", usually they give responses such as: "If you do good in your life, you would go to heaven. If you do bad, you go would to hell.". But never do they mention what is good or what is bad, how they are defined or how they are differentiated...

    The ending of the era of Philosophical thought

    The famous astrophysicist and the amateur philosopher the "false atheist" Stephen Hawking has written in his famous book "Grand Design": Might it was caused by his "false atheism"? The "false atheism" is the denial of Religion, but the False Atheism is not a religion itself? I tend to think...

    Garden of Eden "Pallas" Translation

    ¶ 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth (“Heaven and Earth Company”). 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep (“Marketplace”). And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters (“Coins”). 3 And God said, Let there be light...

    How Profitable Was Eve’s Desire for God’s Forbidden Fruit?

    “This form is the one that allows a philosopher-in-training to advance to a philosopher king (or queen). It cannot be clearly seen or explained, but once it is recognized, it is the form that allows one to realize all the other forms.” –The Republic, Plato, Higher Learning Academy, 380 BC. “And...

    Can Anyone Solve God’s Garden of Eden Parable?

    - “And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.”--The Book of Genesis (Original Sin), King James Bible...

    Uniliminalism

    I, the autistic and intersexed, Experimental Pop musician, Julius the Jules coined the term Uniliminalism to mean the belief and philosophy that there is a missing element to life that should be sought after. This is like Star Wars, where there are three sides; the Jedi, the Sith, and the...

    Atheists: How would you argue against polytheism?

    I've seen many arguments (and refutations of arguments) from atheists against monotheism, but not very many for polytheism. So, my fellow atheists, how would you argue against a polytheistic pantheon like the Greek or Norse Gods? I've seen some arguments on this page here (My Criticisms of...

    Live like you were dying

    I came across one meditation that asked what you would do if you knew you would die tomorrow. It almost made me cry thinking about it - and oddly enough it was tears of sadness and happiness. I would be so happy to know that sometime soon I would be free from pain and suffering and meet my...

    Can we really experience anything objectively?

    Most people have the idea that the world, the universe, is an objective reality. It exists independently of us, independently of perceivers. For example, a tree is a tree. Regardless of whether I perceive the tree or an ant perceives the tree, the tree is the same thing. It has its own objective...

    Ideology vs Philosophy: Sam Harris, Cenk Uygur, and the importance of honest actors

    [Apologies in advance if this thread is miscategorized. It has elements of a religious debate, political debate, and a philosophical discussion. I honestly had no idea which of the 3 would be best fitted] For those who don't know: logic is not meant to be the basis for ad hoc reasoning (or at...

    Is there anything beyond "it is not relative to anything else", which we can say about the absolute?

    Pantheists everywhere, unite! :)

    ~~~ Hello everyone! It’s nice to be somewhere where there are other Pantheists like me. Where I live, we seem to be an extremely rare “specie”. I’d like to ask what made you a Pantheist? Thank you for responding! :) .
