Well, right back at you with the shame on you , uwot, me old bean. For in one breath you "completely" agreed with Dubious that God "...existing or not..." doesn't explain anything, while in the very next breath you agreed with me that God's existence "...would explain every...

The first thing that needs to happen is that whenever you hear the word "God," you need to stop visualizing this anthropomorphic nonsense... Shame on you seeds. You know I'm not that literal. Well, right back at you with the shame on you , uwot, me old bean. For in one breath you "co...

The point was, in case you missed it, god doesn’t explain anything, existing or not. I completely agree. Come on guys, it would explain lots of things. At the very least it would explain why this vast "dream-like" illusion that we call a universe is so remarkably well "designed"...

With time, I find that I have less and less to say [in general]. I know why this is the case and often wonder why I contribute anything at all. Consider the following... ...many might agree that each and every moment is complete, just the way it is. What more needs to be added? Is reality not enoug...

...here is Thomas L. Friedman coming to grips with what may well be at stake here now for us... https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/08/opinion/putin-ukraine-russia-war.html "Putin’s Russia is not too big to fail. It is, however, too big to fail in a way that won’t shake the whole rest of the world...

And, lastly, my whole reason for engaging you in this debate in the first place was to counter your implying that Deja vu might have something to do with accessing the future in some significant way,... https://c.tenor.com/dSLlCYF7vikAAAAC/tardis-doctor.gif ...to which I suggest that you should hee...

I don't believe in the block universe because of the existence of the mind and decisions. I however think that the future is determined until the point of decision.

The bottom line is that Deja vu has nothing to do with encountering a pre-existing future, but more to do with our inability to experience the "TRUE NOW" that underpins all of reality. What she is missing is that she does not understand the delayed-choice experiment. Well, you need to tak...

Do you still believe that Deja vu represents some untapped (yet viable) means for peering (traveling) into the future? The question is whether something which is going to happen in the future can have an effect on now. Please read Wheeler's delayed-choice experiment here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w...
