Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
Can 'the answer' be different from what you think or believe it is? Is the question identical with its meaning; or can this question mean something different from what you think or believe it means? Did you want me to answer your question when you did not answer mine? What was the universe up to 50...

Re: Heaven and hell are not just "illusory"
"the presence of dark matter. Yet, we have not been able to directly detect or identify it." Without brushing up on what I've long forgotten (for who needs to remember dark matter any given day), i wonder if the nature of this stuff is quantifiable such that the amount of it depends on, a...

Re: Heaven and hell are not just "illusory"
Where did you get the idea from that the universe does not expand? From the definitions of the 'Universe' word. If you really had a good explanation for the idea that the universe does not expand, it would certainly be super interesting. I have such a 'good' explanation for the Fact that the Univer...

Re: Heaven and hell are not just "illusory"
you are an absolute idiot if you want to continue to believe that there is such a thing as 'our universe' and/ or 'other universes'. You may want to reconsider that statement, since there is nothing in all the laws of physics nor anything in logic that would preempt a multiverse from existing. Exce...

Re: Heaven and hell are not just "illusory"
"Concerning the physical universe, we can observe only a very, very small part of the physical universe." I guess I'll aks the obvious question. If there is a part of the universe that i can't observe, how do i know 'how much' of it there is? By the fact that it is absolutely impossible f...

Re: Heaven and hell are not just "illusory"
2. 'The Universe', by definition, cannot expand. What definition are you using? The one/s that talk about all existing matter and space considered as a whole; everything; totality. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_of_the_universe The expansion of the universe is the increase in distance be...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
So there once was a point where there wasn't time and then there was. How do you know? Because the question "How old is the universe?" has an answer. Can 'the answer' be different from what you think or believe it is? What was the universe up to 50 billion years ago? The Universe, of cour...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
Either God knows which of the five roads we are going to choose, or he doesn't. He does. Just as I knew you'd reply. No you did not. you may well have guessed, assumed, or predicted that it would occur, but you, obviously, never knew, for sure, that it would. You could have chosen not to. You could...

Re: I'm wrong about everything. Now what?
Is there any progress in philosophy? Or more to the point, is there any progress in humanity, or do we simply go around in repetitious circles? Or maybe it's just me going around in circles. I give up. My productive life is over as far as I'm concerned. I'm in retirement. Game over. K: actually, be...

Re: Heaven and hell are not just "illusory"
1. There is no 'our own' Universe. 2. By definition there can only ever be one Universe, only. Our own universe expanded out of the Big Bang. This here is a prime example of a human being who believes that the species 'human being' is somehow more 'special' than anything else. Once again "gode...

Re: Heaven and hell are not just "illusory"
Is our own universe the only one? Or is it part of a larger multiverse? 1. There is no 'our own' Universe. 2. By definition there can only ever be one Universe, only. you can change the definition for the word 'Universe' if you like, but why? Also, why introduce the new word 'multiverse' and give i...

Re: This sucks but there doesn't seem a whole lot we can do
Are you an American citizen, Age? Would that make any difference here? That doesn't answer my question. you are correct. And, what is also correct is that does not answer my question also. Are you an American citizen, Age? The 'you' can never, really, be what you ask here. But, one has to first lea...

Re: This sucks but there doesn't seem a whole lot we can do
It seems as though a lot of things are happening at once. Russia invaded Ukraine. To try and get back what was 'theirs', previously. Hamas attacked Israel. After years of being continually oppressed. China started threatening Taiwan. With what, exactly? North Korea was shelling the DMZ, Did this ju...

And I (no citation marks) am hardly surprised that people like Age can't even manage to notice what a hypocrite he is being right here, even when it is now pointed out. Ah, so 'now' 'you' want to speak for "yourself", instead. Sometimes I realize that one way of mocking your nonsense is b...
