What's stopping us from seeing the truth. OK Bill, I can now see that initially you meant "Literally" Seeing. There is also a minds eye which is what I initially took you to mean, which I'm sure you realize. After checking, I was surprised to learn that my take on seeing was actually the ...

The Universe abides, incorrect it's always changing it has no interest; it has no concern; it has no conception; Here you profess to know everything about the universe which is false it has no right or wrong; here you are probably correct no secrets. incorrect, there is still much we don't know The...

You are proposing that there is a 'sub-stratum' of 'actual' reality that informs what our knowledge may come upon in its own right, and thereby are suggesting that human knowlegde is 'incomplete' as humans are coming upon 'more truth' of the universe as we progress in our understanding of the unive...

What's stopping us from seeing the truth? What truth? Exactly Sounds like you are expressing the truth and claiming it yours. Nope. I do not subscribe to your concept of the truth. Then what is it that you express? Great job, Ron de Weijze! He'll never have an answer for you that stands up to any t...

So there is a God? I have no clue if there is a god. I have never said there was a god. In terms of god, I have always said that it's possible. I'm glad you do! How would I know of Its Truth? You would have to have evidence that in fact he existed. I have no clue as to how, when or if you shall fin...

Truth exists not because of a term but rather the term exists because of the truth. There are billions of truths. Dating all the way back to that primordial ooze that the first life sprang from. But I won't go back that far. you are saying that there has always been a Truth even though Throg and Gl...

I snipped my bit because of the 3 max nested quote limitation. However it's easy to understand the chain because your text below is still attached to my original. Sounds to me like you are saying Truth Is because we have a term for truth, which is little better than saying we have a term "God&...

What my point has been from the very beginning is that Truth simply is. You cannot possibly disprove truth. Truth never changes and is exactly the same for everyone despite their knowledge. The truth begets reality. It exists without humans whatsoever. Truth is the aim of all human pursuits in knowl...

Chaz Wyman, it's considered rude to hijack a thread. So please, in the name of Netiquette, continue in the proper thread.

SpheresOfBalance had written: "Let me know if you ever want to seriously argue Truth. If you grew up a bit, it might be interesting. Notice I said "might!"" chaz wyman responded: You've only been on board for 2 days. You have had a mild challenge to your basic assumptions and you...

Time is not a thing, it's a concept! So is truth. It's not a constant, So is truth. ... which is relative to any given thing in the universe, So is truth. such that if nothing existed at all, there would be no relative points of reference at all. And if there were no one to articulate truth there w...

Let me know if you ever want to seriously argue Truth. If you grew up a bit, it might be interesting. Notice I said "might!" You've only been on board for 2 days. You have had a mild challenge to your basic assumptions and you react like that. I doubt you are going to last long. You would...
