Re: Conscious universe?

Thank you for CLARIFYING. This explains WHY you are MISUNDERSTANDING. By the way, people are more of, and less of, a person depending on how many limbs of the body are missing, or not, correct? That's correct. Losing a limb makes you another person, as losing a leg or an arm, will inevitably lead t...

Re: Conscious universe?

First error is thinking that there are separate persons, or selfs, which 'individually' think. There is NO 'my' thinking, because there are NO 'people', which 'have' thinking. There is, however, just individual thinking, which occurs within individual separate human bodies. In other words there is ...

Re: Conscious universe?

Otherwise, what reason is there to believe that one state of matter/pattern of behavior is going to be anything like another? Hence why I said "If both A and B are systems, then A and B must have the same properties."--it seems like you're assuming that. But that's obviously incorrect. Ju...

What's wrong with libertarianism

Libertarianism = no authority should force you to give up your land or liberty. Thought scenario: Two neightbors own their own piece of land. One of them starts a fire, to burn vegetation. This causes pollution on the other one's territory. Who's right is most important? To burn vegetation or to be ...

Re: Conscious universe?

"If both A and B are systems, then A and B must have the same properties." Obviously not. I never said that. If A and B share the same system, their properties are linked. If electron A and B are quantum entangled, they are correlated by causation. Meaning that A and B can have spin up or...

Conscious universe?

Let me begin this topic with saying that I want you to tear my arguments apart, by logical and scientific deduction and reasoning. I want a scientific debate about this topic, not pseudoscience or crap philosophy. That might be easy, and eventually I'd be able to do that myself just not at the momen...

Re: Science is pure description.

Science is descriptive. It has no answers, except more detailied descriptions, which are analogous to things we take for granted, and do not understand, but only experience. It offers descriptions of the familiar. It finds out "how" but there is no ultimate answer to "why". But ...

Re: On the subject of “Eternalism” and the “Block Universe” theory...

Could it be that the block universe is real, and that time direction is a consequence of objects in "now" inherits (and human brains "remember") what happened to them in the past, but the reason they "don't remember the future" is because they have yet to experience/be ...

Does Retrocausality de-mystify Entanglement?

Consider two entangled photons. The measurement of one instantaneously affects the other, not by "faster-than-light speed" but rather through a causality known as Retrocausality where the future measurement affects the past, in this case the source from which both photons are emitted. It d...

Re: A Scientific Religion

Well then, clearly I must pay closer attention. ...care to re clarify your position? My position is that God should not be seen as a kind of old man with a white beard, rather God is a concept of shared ideals that is being personified - as a psychological tool (kind of like a symbol, a logo, or a ...

Re: A Scientific Religion

I include omniscient because to know all is to forgive all. That's not my point. My point is to be realistic about God. Sure, why not an omniscient and benevolent deity? We'd all like that. Add some actual "power" of that deity (without being omnipotent) and we'd have the perfect deity. B...

Re: A Scientific Religion

Immanuel Can wrote: First, you should know that the term "omnipotence" is entirely outside of the Bible. The Bible says God never does anything that is not consonant with His character -- lie, break promises, fail, betray, and so on. But secondly, your question has a self-contradiction in...
