I'm surprised that no one's posted the standard retort to the PoE. The question that should effectively silence atheists in this particular case begins with " quando " but I'm not here to rattle gilded cages. To be honest though, I haven't encountered the necessary features in theism to ba...

Unfortunately we must lose something to gain something. At the end of the day, we're screwed, oui?

To contradict contradictions would be a contradiction; order is a contradiction as well as disorder. Why? 1. A square is symmetrical thus ordered. However there is the space inside the square and the space outside a square. The space between the inner and outer is the square itself as space, thus t...

I have to agree, it is an excellent argument; its only flaw being its utter stupidity. :| :lol: Cogito it's a good argument, but it depends on what existence means; plus the situation one would havta be in for the argument ta be good is real as real can be. Unfortunately/fortunately, it's a cul de ...

In looking for a contradiction and seeing none a contradiction occurs. In looking for no contradiction and seeing one a contradiction occurs. Si, contradictions are everywhere. We should do something about them. To contradict contradictions would be a contradiction; order is a contradiction as well...

Are there dimensions to both or is that which is not, limitless? Please search Age 's posts for an appropriate response to that question. It won't be easy, but it's not impossible! :) Eodnhoj7 is onto something as far as I can tell. Aristotle comes ta mind ... the mind that ruled over Europe for at...

Apes are just stupid humans? 😁 Is a human that rapes R_ape? www.androcies.com Possible, could be, I'm not sure, who knows? God knows! Of course it's pointless ta state the known - ta my reckoning, ya belong ta a set, a very privileged set (meant for selected individuals like yerself). It's all abou...

It probably isn't the food, in a manner of speaking. The search for a missing person in the great forests of the north terminates at some point for one reason or another. Which reason maybe as or more important than the systematic methodology adopted - fan out in a circle, an advancing line of volun...

Let's be thorough about the issue, shall we?

A contradiction: p & ~p

Begin!

Ex contradictione sequitur quodlibet. What else do we need?!

Good post OP! (We - me) have a choice! As regards philosophical realism my fallacy-meter gives a reading, but good/bad luck, your solution does too and therein, mon ami, lies the rub. That outta the way, what's a cup doing in the middle of the Sahara?

I suggest we start off with some basic facts about ethics/morality. What is ethics exactly; I'm especially concerned about its scope vis-à-vis the morally relevant ; bracket out deeds, what's left? I'm convinced that Maya has pulled the wool over our eyes. As of this moment, I see peoples at differe...

It's obvious what the OP has done, but is it obvious what we havta to do? I realize it's an old, rather clichéd point s/he makes, but he does add an extension which a certain deceased Greek would approve of ... highly. It all depends ... on specific metaphysical notions, but at critical junctures lo...

The totality is without compare for if it had comparison it would not be the totality, i.e. something would be beyond it. Thingness requires comparison otherwise it is not a thing as there is no distinction which allows the thing to be. The totality is without compare thus it is nothing. Nothing is...

🤔 A good argument. I have to agree, it is an excellent argument; its only flaw being its utter stupidity. :| :lol: Cogito it's a good argument, but it depends on what existence means; plus the situation one would havta be in for the argument ta be good is real as real can be.

A good argument. I know now why Albert Einstein left for his heavenly abode! Deus Magnus Est. I'm coming Einstein, I'm coming!! I know ya said some bad stuff about Chinese peeps - them being lazy or something like that - but you were old, senility sets in fast and furious past 46!!
