Note what is 'billion years ago' is relative to humans. Point is there is an infusion of relativity everywhere thus no stand point for an absolute independence, i.e. no God's eye view for humans. The time is not necessarily relative to humans, but the moon then is. I can say 'the moon at time bang+...

The mind is a concept not an idea [philosophical]. The mind is concept, but what knows the mind is a concept, it can't be the concept that knows, the concept is known. So what knows the mind is a concept? God is not a concept at all. God is merely an idea [philosophical]. So where is the idea comin...

The Abrahamic religions are based on immutable doctrines from a perfect God so in principle there is no room for the Abrahamic religions to evolve. Islam is very explicit with this immutability of God's words. The mainstream Eastern religions e.g. Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, and others also do not e...

If you state "I exist" is an objective statement, then it is fundamentally subjective, i.e. intersubjective via human [subject] made framework and system. There is no 'you' stating 'I exist' 'I exist' is the unknown known. There is no 'you' to know the unknown known. (unclaimed) You are t...

The idea of God is a special type of illusion, i.e. transcendental illusion generated in the mind. Like the person who insist the mirage is as real as the physical oasis, theists insist God is as real as it can be. That is because they do not understand the underlying psychological and neural proce...

If ancient moon exists to dinosaurs, then it is still relative, i.e. relative to dinosaurs and dinosaurs are relative to us. Yes to all. By ancient moon, I mean the one of a billion years ago, just to pick something specific. Note what is 'billion years ago' is relative to humans. Point is there is...

The fundamental of racism i.e. tribalism [us versus them] used to have significant survival value and thus was adaptable and embedded in the base of the brain. In those days humans were so barbaric and most are like 'animals' [beasts] and any group could be a threat to another [extermination]. This ...

"I exist" is an objective statement that exists seperate from the subjective experience of "I". Discuss. I wonder you understand clearly what is meant to be objective. Objectivity is a central philosophical concept, objective means being independent of the perceptions thus objec...

7. The Incoherence of Solipsism

As far as I have known, I have countered all arguments against my premises and I have not conceded to any. Imagine that! .....an argument taking place on a philosophy forum wherein one of the combatants does not concede to the other. :shock: :D Tell me where if I have missed your counter to my P2. ...

My main point is, the idea of God is an impossibility to be real. Thus the question of God is real is moot, i.e. a non-starter, so is the question 'Can God be beyond the universe?' God as the "Idea of the All" is real, as all ideas are real as ideas. I am speaking of 'idea' in the philoso...

There is no ontological evil floating around independently for man to discover. Yes, in that case 'evil' is subjected to the state of man. This is the critical point that evil is man-made. Because evil is man-made, evil can be man-prevented and eliminated by man. How can evil be man-made when evil ...

The Moon was "objectively" there before any human existed and could think about it. However, that Moon from the past and the present me are fundamentally non-separable. I don't find these fundamentally non-separable. Sure, the ancient moon exists to me, but I don't exist to it. It seems t...
