Re: What Is Free Will?
What we can see here is just another example of if free will, determinism, and/or even God exists, or not, is solely depended upon how one is just defining the words being used. Also, if people are in agreement, or disagreeing and/or fighting, thus if they are in peace or in disharmony is, again, gr...

Re: Creation - Evolution
Anyway, the Universe, Itself, is always evolving, in Creation.

Re: Creation - Evolution
Okay. So, again, why say things that you do not, literally, mean, and especially so in a philosophy forum of all places? My point in that post and when I mentioned the metaphorical aspect of 'to' in a previous post was to point out that we are all using metaphorical language. 1. If you all, suppose...

Re: Creation - Evolution
Why do you believe this assertion of yours here? You are relaying a truth that you neither believe nor disbelieve. So, do you believe that all so-called 'oracular situations' 'a truth' is being relayed that is neither believed nor disbelieved? You do have one belief and this was not it. If you say ...

Re: Creation - Evolution
Do you have some sort of fear of just expressing what the actual thing is, exactly, which you are referring and/or alluding to? For, once again, I have absolutely no idea what you are referring to or alluding to here, which is somewhere in 'the thread'. No, I don't have a fear around that. I discus...

Re: Creation - Evolution
It strikes me that another example of a dead metaphor might be useful. evolve comes from to unroll, roll out, roll forth, unfold. We make terms out of our local, time-bound experience and build from these. It may seem like corner of the universe is metaphorical and evolve is literal, but actually h...

Re: Creation - Evolution
I neither believe nor disbelieve 'that'. One would have to first 'have a mind' to be able to 'change their mind'. 'I', for one, certainly do not 'have a mind'. Why do you ask questions that I have already informed you of what the answers are, exactly, and already? Now, if what you human beings are ...

Re: Creation - Evolution
What the Universe is actually made up of and how the Universe actually works is very simple, everywhere and always. Do you believe that? I am not sure how many times that you need to be told and informed of some thing before you are able to learn, comprehend, and understand that thing. I neither be...

Re: 0 is not a number
What is the difference, now, between 'natural numbers', 'numbers', and, now, 'real numbers'? Natural numbers: can be reached by successive succession, starting from zero: 0, 1,:2, 3, ... Regular expression: [0-9]+ For a different base, appropriately replace the digit matching pattern [0-9]. Integer...

Re: 0 is not a number
And, what is the difference between 'natural numbers' and 'numbers'? Natural numbers can be reached through consecutive succession: 1,2,3,... , except for 0 which can only be axiomatized to be a natural number. The natural numbers are closed under addition and multiplication. So, adding two natural...

Re: Creation - Evolution
Atla, Age is saying that mere cause and effect automatically is creation and evolution. Like you randomly throw the pieces of a 1000-piece puzzle into the air, and all of them fall into the right place and create the picture. I do not need you to tell me what Age is saying. I can figure it out for ...

Re: Creation - Evolution
Every action has a reaction. Every reaction is a new creation. Every new creation evolves. Every evolving creation interacts with other creations. I have no problem with any of the above and accept it as true and accurate. The Universe is, fundamentally, made up of 'matter', and a distance between ...

Re: Creation - Evolution
Every action causes a reaction. Always has, and, always will. This sounds reasonable to me, though I will explore it a bit, further down, in terms of discreteness. Okay. Every re-action causes, or creates, another reaction, that is; Creation, Itself. Same as above. I wouldn't use the word creation ...
