If you cannot even explain the words that you actually use and say here, then I suggest you think more carefully about the choice of words you write here. Oh and by the way, reading up on what you suggest here will never ever answer those very simple and straightforward questions I asked you above ...

Who the hell even cares?

1. Do you believe God exists?

2. If yes, then do you believe that mathematics can prove this true?

When you say, 'modern view', then 'when' did 'this view' come about, exactly, and who, besides you, has or holds 'this view', exactly? What do you mean by 'discovered' here? You may want to read up on nonstandard models of arithmetic. Victoria Gitman has written an excellent introduction: https://v...

This is all falsely-premised. Things true in the past, and things true now or in the future, are not superseded by this boyish novelty. You seem stoned on yourself. ...and what was true in the past for at least 1600 years - and not over yet - that the bible was the word of god; that Jesus died for ...

You think that the people living around you enjoy living in poverty and 3rd world conditions. I mean, if they want to stay in poverty, then don't complain about poverty. However, I suspect they'd probably welcome modern conveniences. I'm writing this from my mobile phone, while sitting in the ferry...

I agree with Age's point that if there is a "multiverse" then the totality of all multiverses is, by definition, the universe. Even a dumb "hick" like me isn't as stupid as you are. What a joke. Spend all your life studying abstractions of math and you can't even see what's in f...

What do you mean by words are equivalent? They both refer to "everything". Or does the multiverse not include everything? Ok you don't know what "topics" are. Hmm Once again, as soon as it was pointed out how you cannot back up and support your views nor beliefs here, you, again...

Maybe you don't know what a "topic" is. So when I say stuff like "multiverse topic", you don't know how to separate that from other stuff. If the words are equivalent, then what difference does it make? What do you mean by words are equivalent? What was meant is the definition o...

Usually, everything = multiverse. I see. What if I refer to everything as the "universe", am I wrong to call it that? Maybe you don't know what a "topic" is. So when I say stuff like "multiverse topic", you don't know how to separate that from other stuff. Once again, ...

In multiverse topics, "universe" doesn't mean absolutely everything. Which part of this escapes your understanding?

Then what do you call everything? Just "everything"?

Usually, everything = multiverse.

LOL 'usually'.

Not considering hypothetical extensions to the world we see, is the end of philosophy, but of course idiots like this one don't even understand this much I'm sure you're not an idiot. You're probably very intelligent. You just need to get terminology straight. And it's not your fault. So don't be h...

Yes there is an "old" definition of "universe", at least when it comes to multiverse theories. Deal with it. :) There's the universe and the universe is by definition everything. Multiverse nonsense is a stupid fad. They can't even prove there is a multiverse. What nonsense. If ...

There's nothing wrong with the terminology, it's just not compatible with the old definition of universe. There is no "old" definition of "universe". The universe has been much the same since the beginning of human civilization. The "multiverse" theory isn't even incor...

Why the hell would you agree with Age's point. In a multiverse topic, by definition the totality of all multiverses is not the universe. Because the "multiverse" is a bunch of nonsensical sophistry. It's a joke of a theory. It can't even get its terminology straight. There's nothing wrong...

Religion does not make use of mathematics. The reason why is simple. If it did, most people would not understand it. I agree with Age's point that if there is a "multiverse" then the totality of all multiverses is, by definition, the universe. Even a dumb "hick" like me isn't as...
