Re: God is a concept of a being that inspires us to try to be more than what we are.

I just choose to believe in eternal life and a higher power thats all. I actually loathe organized rel...

Re: Experiment - Question the beliefs of both Religious and Atheist...

i think most of the decent people are agnostic and/or just trying to live without getting entangled in such a thing. Too much dogma is unhealthy and contrived.

God is a concept of a being that inspires us to try to be more than what we are.

God is the divine all knowing one true justice nature of pure righteous judgment and truest love of all that is innocent. The benevolent one whom is understanding and wisdom itself. The master of all that is. This gives us something more to strive for. God gives us purpose and meaning in the great f...

morality is it discovered, invented, or natural?

where would you be without love. Because of love and compassion there is morals. Like a divine lightning bolt that says wake up we exist and we have hearts inside us.

Re: Was math invented or discovered?

math does lack qualities and it also deals too heavily in even absolutes. I doubt nature works so cleanly as math. Applied mathematics is effective in situational problem solving just not so good in describing reality.

Re: What is an Artist?

an artist finds unique relationships hidden in nature or solely in the imagination. Relationships that inspire. Or perhap the artist wants to capture a feeling that moves one. I love impressionism. Maybe the artist wants to create the feeling. To invoke the soul. To emphasize awareness of a beautifu...

Re: To understand maths

maybe math could become exact logic someday? And complete logic that can be applied exactly to any problem or actuality. To do that every symbol would have to have meaning that is accurate and exact. If the symbols are arbitrary and not exact measures or definitions it will never reflect reality act...

Re: What are the achievements of logic?

not every claim on logic is logical. It must be true to actuality and exact and complete to be considered logic. Logic testable is the sole means of knowledge about actuality. Someday it will be a complete science logic will.

Re: Scientific logic. / by Socratus /

and it has to be testable. Lhc is a test facility not useless whatsoever. If you cant test it
,it is not science.
Logic is very reliable if true and complete. Yet i feel math could become an exact science someday. But it would have to be exact about everything.
