But isn’t it contradictory to say that and also to say there’s no beginning, which means it always existed without a beginning???

Re: Nothing to somthing is logically impossible
This must mean that there is a beginning. Yes, but it also says that time didn't exist and then exists.

Re: Nothing to somthing is logically impossible
That’s like separating eat from begin to eat. I am afraid I cannot help you. Is that because grammar is beyond you? No, because you don't understand my explanation. You replace exist with eat trying to make a point! Again, begin to exist means that it does not exist and then exists. Do you understa...

Re: Great Coincidence
As I had stated, the above is based on common sense and the conventional sense. In more rigorous philosophical sense, that is not the case. In more rigorous philosophical sense, there is no evolution that had gone before humans and still going on. The point is before humans perceive, know and descr...

Re: Moral Relativists 'Accept' Genocides
No, morality is not universal. How many times do I have to say that? It is clearly explained in the video you shared. But as the video clearly shows there is no universal moral function. Could we agree with that? How can I agree, when the video indicated there are universal moral function within al...

Re: How is the Karma enforced?
The whole idea is an invention to make people take responsibility for their actions and as an explanation of who people are born unequally- either economically, physically or mentally. As if some sort of cosmic justice would explain why some are cursed with disabilities. Maybe the cosmic justice is...

Re: Nothing to somthing is logically impossible
No doubt, at this very moment, a near infinite number of "changes" are taking place in the innumerable solar systems and galaxies that are millions and billions of light years away from us. Whose mind is instigating (or experiencing) those changes? There is only one mind, the mind, which ...

Re: Nothing to somthing is logically impossible
_______ (Continued from prior post) Yes, infinite life is problematic if there is no meaning to it. Well, according to you, it would seem that just "knowing" the meaning of life will be enough to keep us happy and satisfied for eternity. However, to me, we must have something logical to d...

Re: Nothing to somthing is logically impossible
Your replies throughout this thread are completely confusing. Time began to exist at some point, but time has no beginning at any point, says you. I didn't say that time has no beginning! Would you please explain how you are separating ‘begin’ from ‘beginning’? I am separating begin from begin to e...

Re: Nothing to somthing is logically impossible
How can time have a beginning without having to begin to exist? Time cannot begin to exist, by this I mean that it does not exist and then exists, since this is a change and any change requires time. This leads to an infinite regress that is logically impossible. We can exclude that time has existe...

Re: How is the Karma enforced?
Buddhism migrated from India to Tibet where it took on aspects of indiginous beliefs such as the animism of Bon Po. As such, water has the power to calculate karma, because like karma water is naturally self-leveling. This leads to why. Gravity The Greater creates the leveling forces for Water The ...
