It looks like you are just changing from no time to time—just another way of saying from nothing to something. So if nothing to something is impossible, then time has no beginning. Wrong! I won't repeat the argument though. If nothing to something is possible, then time had a beginning at some poin...

Okay, in regard to the laws of nature, mathematics, the empirical world around us, etc., it certainly appears that there are objective truths that transcend the "human condition" itself. My own "beef" with the truth revolves instead around conflicting value judgments. And yet gi...

_______ (Continued from prior post) No, bahman, you don't have "proof" of anything whatsoever. Like the rest of us, you have pure "conjecture." You need to stop assuming that you are dealing with metaphysical neophytes here who cannot analyze your assertions and see the flaws. _...

I'm not mixing anything with anything, you're the one who repeatedly stated that there are "many minds" while at the same time insisting that there is only "one mind." I explained in my former post that I used to believe that there are many minds. In which, supposed, former post...

That is your thinking, not mine. My approach is TOP-DOWN, i.e. based on what currently exists as real, and necessarily working backward to know [as best as possible] where things and humans came from based as far as empirical evidences conditioned upon a credible framework and system of realization...

You don't understand and decipher the point, "He also mentioned that to him morality is universal while only a fraction of children show moral behavior!" Where did he mentioned only a fraction of children show moral behavior? What sort of fraction are you talking about? 1%, 10%. For him t...

On the other hand, logic only exists because we exist. And what do the rules of human language...rules that we mere mortals have invented/discovered...have to do with grasping the existence of existence itself? Assuming we are the only intelligent life form in the universe and that "somehow&qu...

_______ (Continued from prior post) It is quite obvious that you and I have a completely different interpretation of what the word "mind" means. My interpretation is that the living, self-aware "agent" (the "I Am-ness") that sits at the throne of consciousness within t...

I'm not mixing anything with anything, you're the one who repeatedly stated that there are "many minds" while at the same time insisting that there is only "one mind." I explained in my former post that I used to believe that there are many minds. I however faced a problem with ...

I've been clean now for about two years, myself. what did it for me was the lower back pain from sitting down for hours and hours. sometimes I'd be in a game for days at a time, stopping only to sleep. it was Fallout that got me hooked. that fuckin game was a perfect recreation of the secret post-a...

You missed my points. I claimed, 1. The Science FSK [at its best] is the most credible and objective at present, it generates scientific facts that has varying degrees of objectivity, e.g. theories of natural science, social and other sciences and its speculations which are of lower objectivity. 2....

How can I agree, when the video indicated there are universal moral function within all humans. I presented the following from the video which you have ignored; Don't keep saying this, " How many times do I have to say that? It is clearly explained in the video you shared ." In what ways ...

To elaborate, we are dealing with two states of affairs, in which first there is nothing, and then there is something. But this requires time to happen because of then . But there is no time in nothing! Therefore, nothing to something is logically impossible. On the other hand, logic only exists be...

_______ (Continued from prior post) God is real this world is caused by God. You said that you read the OP in my thread - My "Burning Bush-like" encounter with God. - https://forum.philosophynow.org/viewtopic.php?t=41452 In which case, do you actually think that your statement about God b...

You stated the following... However, seeing how I obviously have no life and nothing better to do at the moment, I have taken the time to compile a random sampling of your previous statements on that issue [bracketed interjections mine]... I could go on and on, bahman, on how you've contradicted yo...
