Re: Kant: Phenomena vs Noumena

To the contrary, if Kant is living at present, QM theories and the neurosciences based on the human-based FSKs would definitely have supported his Copernican Revolution and argument that God is impossible to be proven within reality. Based on the unfortunately erroneous science of his time (ie. New...

Re: Kant: Phenomena vs Noumena

the noumenal is more than naked turtles and homeless clams (other crustaceans aside)... -Imp I too believe that the noumena is more than empty concepts and so did Kant. From reading Kant, it is clear that he was a firm believer in Christianity and who also denied the Trinity and labeled the latter ...

Re: Kant: Phenomena vs Noumena

you can be somewhat certain of the stories and accounts of those that were there... if thousands of people witnessed and tell the same story, as confirmed by their contemporary accounts, photos and films, you may find it more believable- not necessarily as believable as currently sensed event- but ...

Re: Kant: Phenomena vs Noumena

Well, the Second World War was not and could not have been in my direct perception as I was born after, so that would imply that it should not exist as an appearance for me! I could be prosecuted for even thinking that in many European countries such as Germany and France! Should I thus not be cert...

Re: Kant: Phenomena vs Noumena

that's just it... that to which we have access are sensory impressions (the phenomena) ... is there something beyond the impressions? it isn't sensed ... That would imply that the noumena are "homeless clams" then, doesn't it? I am of the opinion that when something isn't in my direct per...

Re: An Encounter with Radical Darwinitis

It is one of the most tested and robust of scientific theories, and technologies and discoveries since the publication of The Origin of Species (1859) – carbon dating, filling in of the fossil record, and genomics, to name but a few – have all strengthened its case. According to radiometry, carbon ...

Re: Theory of Evolution

Regardless of how you choose to interpret it, the article rebuts the statement that there has been no new information to contribute to the theory of evolution over the last 160 years. There has been mountains. The picture is decidedly not the same as it was in Darwin's time. We have exponentially m...

Re: Theory of Evolution

My intention is to find people who have deeper knowledge of the theory and who are willing to answer some questions, maybe basic, I don't know, what I want to ask. Can I count on any of you? Thank you. I hope that this short discussion has answered some of your questions. If you have any specific q...

Re: Theory of Evolution

It's a classic God of the gaps argument. "I cannot explain this particular evolutionarily process, therefore God must have done it!" Classic red herring. I did not mention God, the Almighty even once in my previous responses to you!!! Yes, this isn't about you, this is about the dude who ...
