Our universe is contingent
Re: Our universe is contingent
It only APPEARS as "nonsense" to those who do NOT even attempt to GAIN CLARITY.bahman wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 2:47 pmYou keep repeating your nonsense.Age wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 1:47 pmBut to even just suggest that there was ANY "creation out of nothing" IS ABSURDITY in the EXTREME. Let alone to go on with ANY of the other ABSURD things you are saying and claiming here.
LOOK, there is ONLY One Universe, which is eternal AND infinite, by nature. And, this is a Fact, which OBVIOUSLY can NOT be refuted. So, there is NO use AT ALL even talking about ANY God thing, creating this Universe, out of NO things. All of this God/big bang created EVERY thing, from NO thing, is just completely AND utterly ABSURD, and to keep going on and on about it is just INSANITY, to the EXTREME.
Because, OF COURSE, if and when CLARITY is GAINED that what WAS once considered "nonsense" can only then BEGIN to makes sense.
By the way, what part of what I said here do you consider is "my nonsense"?
WHY?
If thee One and ONLY Universe is contingent or NOT, then a discussion about whether thee One and ONLY Universe began or NOT could be VERY ON TOPIC.
So, to you, there was a beginning to the Universe, correct, or 'a beginning' to some thing else? And, if it was the latter, then what was that 'thing', EXACTLY?
Is there 'A God' to you?
If yes, then WHERE is this God in relation to thee Universe, Itself? And what, EXACTLY, did this God create, EXACTLY?
Here we have a PRIME EXAMPLE of EXACTLY WHEN someone is NOT able to back up and support THEIR CLAIMS. Which is FURTHER PROOF of EXACTLY HOW, WHY, WHEN, and WHERE someone's CLAIMS are just plain old False, Wrong, or Incorrect. Which leads to discovering or uncovering WHAT thee ACTUAL Truth IS, EXACTLY.
Of which, to you, there are MANY.bahman wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 2:47 pmCreation is the ability of mind.
Like, there are "minds", which 'you', human beings, have and use BUT which, contradictory, CONTROL 'you' AS WELL. And, there are, to you again, "minds", which exist within ALL objects, and then there is that all-knowing, all-powerful, all-etc, simply the creator "mind", which may or may not have caused or created 'the beginning' of the Universe. Which, to you, is NOT Everything.
So, because 'you' "have a thread" on a particular topic, then this MEANS 100% that WHATEVER "bahman" writes in that thread IS IRREFUTABLY True, Right, AND Correct, correct?
In other words, if "bahman" writes "a thread", then what 'you' write can NOT be False, Wrong, NOR Incorrect, correct?
What "other" attributes?
The ones 'you', "bahman", gives, or the ones that "immanuel can" gives, or the ones "veritas aequitas" gives, and provides?
Also, does whatever attributes 'you', human beings, give to what God is, MEAN that that is what God is, EXACTLY?
MORE PROOF of WHEN one is NOT ABLE to respond NOR answer when they are are CHALLENGED or QUESTIONED on THEIR CLAIMS.
YET you just got through CLAIMING that there is "a mind" which is a "she" or a "he", and that "he" or "she" KNOWS EVERY thing.bahman wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 2:47 pmMind does not have a gender but a person could have a gender or it could be an it.
But now you want to CLAIM that 'Mind' does NOT have a gender, but people may or may not have a gender.
Do you reckon that just ONCE when I CHALLENGE you or ask you a QUESTION for CLARITY that you will be ABLE to PROVIDE some sort of CLARITY instead of just making things FAR MORE NONSENSICAL or CONVOLUTED?
Okay. So, WHY did 'you' bring up this off-topic 'thing', in the first place?
And is this all you could REALLY say.bahman wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 2:47 pmOk. As you say.Age wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 12:16 amThe part about;
God is an all-knowing, all-powerful, etc, simple creator mind thing, which is NOT to be mistaken by the 'minds' in 'you', human beings, which are gods, but which only has control over human bodies, but which does not have control over 'you', because 'you', persons or human beings, have control over "your minds".
As well as a LOT of other things you say and claim here.
After all I just POINTED OUT and SHOWED some of the parts of what you say that do NOT make sense and ARE ILLOGICAL, to me.
Re: Our universe is contingent
LOL So, all I do is just ask you the CLARIFYING QUESTION, 'What, EXACTLY, are you 'trying to' imply here?' (By the actual words that YOU wrote down here), and your response is "Off-topic".bahman wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 2:51 pmOff-topic.Age wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 1:57 pmWhat, EXACTLY, are you 'trying to' imply here?
I just said what you do NOT YET REALIZE, and what you will continue to do. Which has been PROVED True, ALREADY.
I also just asked you a CLARIFYING QUESTION, which you OBVIOUSLY can NOT answer, without looking STUPID, and so, OBVIOUSLY, you did NOT answer it.
You REALLY do NOT appear to understand the concept of expressing what you think or believe is true, right, and correct, and then BEING ABLE to back up AND support those thoughts or BELIEFS. And, especially considering that we are in a 'philosophy forum', that you do NOT YET seem to understand this context is all the more humorous.
LOL HOW could what I wrote here be, SUPPOSEDLY, "off-topic"? What I wrote was in DIRECT relation to what 'YOU', "bahman", "yourself", ASKED ME about in regards to what I thought in relation to 'you' controlling animals.bahman wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 2:47 pmOff-topic.Age wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 1:12 pmAGAIN, what can be CLEARLY SEEN here is just ANOTHER ATTEMPT at DETRACTION from the MOST ABSURD CLAIM that "bahman" about how it does NOT control the body that it is within.
Also, 'you', human beings, CERTAINLY DO control some animals, especially when you lock them up in cages or within fences, and fatten them up, just so 'you' can then KILL them, just so you can then EAT them.
'you', also, by the way, do HAVE CONTROL over human animals. Although the way you "treat" earth and the environment that 'you' NEED for live, I wonder just how much control 'you' REALLY do have over "yourselves".
From what I am observing and witnessing, the way 'you' are so-called "controlling yourselves", in the days when this is being written, 'you' REALLY do NOT have that much time left on that One and ONLY home you call earth.
What do you mean by "your definition"?bahman wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 2:47 pmNo, you don't understand the implication of your definition.
WHEN did I give "a definition", what was "my definition", and HOW EXACTLY do I NOT KNOW the "implication of my definition" but 'you', somehow SUPPOSEDLY do KNOW the "implication of my definition"?
Again, your CLEAR and CONCISE answers, for CLARIFICATION, will be MUCH APPRECIATED.
Re: Our universe is contingent

How MANY TIMES do you have to be TOLD before you UNDERSTAND that while you MAINTAIN a BELIEF, then there is absolutely NO proof AT ALL that can be given to you for the contrary?
'you', "bahman", just like EVERY other adult human being are NOT able to SEE PROOF if you BELIEVE that NONE exists.
So, as I suggested, in my QUESTIONING to you, if you REALLY think that P1 is NOT true, then WHY NOT just PROVIDE the ACTUAL PROOF you have for this way of thinking. If you PROVIDED that, then there would, OBVIOUSLY, be NO proof for the "other side".
The burden of PROOF of 'what', EXACTLY, is on "him"? And,
Who, EXACTLY, is "him"?
Also, if you are CLAIMING the EXACT OPPOSITE of what "he" is CLAIMING, then WHY can you NOT just PROVE "him" Wrong, with YOUR PROOF for YOUR CLAIM?
Or, do you NOT have ANY ACTUAL PROOF, for YOUR CLAIM?
Re: Our universe is contingent
But HOW could what I said here be SUPPOSEDLY "off-topic"?bahman wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 2:54 pmOff-topic.Age wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 2:09 pmYes you did 'try to', SURPRISINGLY.
And, ONCE AGAIN, if ANY one provides 'an argument', then the ONLY Right reason for doing so is so that "others" can POINT OUT and SHOW, to that one WHERE that their 'argument' is NOT a sound AND valid argument, and NOT really worth repeating AT ALL. And, as I have previously stated, there is NO use in repeating an argument that is NOT a sound AND valid argument. End of story.
ANY and ALL sound AND valid arguments, after all, just express a Fact, which NO one could refute, and so REALLY once an argument SHOWS and REVEALS thee ACTUAL Truth of things, ONCE, then that Truth, literally, just speaks for Itself. As I just SHOWED and PROVED, once again above.
You made the CLAIM that you had ALREADY " argued against 'it' ". I was just POINTING OUT that if your "argument" was NOT a sound AND valid argument, then your 'it' has NOT been LOGICALLY NOR SOUNDLY "argued against" AT ALL.
Which MEANS you have just strung some words together, which you CLAIM is "an argument", and, to you, MEANS that you have "argued against" another's views, but this, OBVIOUSLY, does NOT mean that you have ACTUALLY SUCCESSFULLY "argued against" ANY thing AT ALL, REALLY.
Re: Our universe is contingent
BUT that SIMPLE DEFINITION of YOURS does NOT 'logically follow'.

I cannot argue with you if you cannot understand this simple definition.Sculptor wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 2:21 pmRIght here - this is exactly why I think you have no business posting to a philosophy thread. The "universe" IS eveything. If you don't know that then you don't know shit.
2) You need to prove that everything which is constituted of all possible things exists (for example a Sculptor who believe in the contingency of the universe somewhere in everything:mrgreen:).
I don't think that all things always conform to cause and effect. For example, a system cannot evolve based on cause and effect when there is a conflict of interests in a system. I have a thread on this topic in here.
Oh, no. Thanks. That was long enough.

So, you can disagree until the day that little old body stops breathing and pumping blood. But if 'you' can NOT even USE the Correct and Right True terms and phrases, to begin with, then 'you' will NEVER come to KNOW what thee One and ONLY ACTUAL Truth IS.
In "bahman's" own 'little world' it may be ABSOLUTELY and IRREFUTABLY True that "bahman's" and "some other's" universe is NOT eternal, and thus had NO beginning. But that is just that "little universe" ONLY, which OBVIOUSLY has NO bearing AT ALL on what ACTUALLY HAPPENS and OCCURS in thee One and ONLY Universe, in which absolutely EVERY thing exists.
But I do NOT need a proof for the Fact that thee One and ONLY Universe IS eternal AND infinite. That is just the way 'things' ARE. Oh, and by the way, I NEVER needed proof for that NOR ANY thing else is because I neither BELIEVE nor DISBELIEVE ANY thing is true. So, I do NOT seek NOR need PROOF.

If you did NOT KNOW this, then HOPEFULLY you will starting THINKING about this NOW.
But for ANY one to even ATTEMPT to do this just SHOWS and REVEALS the IMMATURITY and STUPIDITY of that one, so I would NEVER do such a thing as you have done here.

1. Reality is all there is.
2.The human mind is intricately linked to all within all there is.
3. Therefore the human mind cannot be independent for whatever things are in reality.
