That isn't but what I suggested? I pretty much said that there is involvement but not an involvement that is based on morality. By indifferent I mean an involvement that focuses on effect.
I have wondered that as well, despite the inability to feel pain, does the concept of "fear" exist for the caterpillar? I.e there is something happening that it must get away from or it will die? So even if the caterpillar doesn't know what death is, or what is happening to it, would it...
I've seen a few of Soviet's posts and I don't know they come off vaguely racist for lack of a better word? Is ethnicists a word? Xenophobic? Attempts at elitism? Either way they (Soviet) shows no regard for the individuals who live in those countries or their struggles, instead demeaning them...
My understanding is that if you took Africa and looked at top causes of death, the leading causes are TB, LRI (lower respiratory infections), Diarrheal Diseases, HIV/AIDS; these are diseases treated and cured by medication (outside of HIV/AIDS which is treatable).
If you broke it by strata...
Note that the diseases that you list here are quite specifically issues where "first world" countries are impacted. Countries with lesser resources and lower public health capabilities suffer from many diseases/parasites that result in death beyond the big killers. While we might scoff from...
Which is followed up by the fact that I point out that they are human; the point of the post had nothing to really do with their accuracy but just the fact that they are human and thus prone to error
Right, but what I was getting at was that we shouldn't really think too highly or too negatively of people from the past or find that if they were right about something to be shocking.
I am aware, it was more to explain as you explained in your second part of people using inductive reasoning. The basis of my argument was that when discussing people from "back in the day" we shouldn't really disparage them or really elevate them either.
Which part translates into Sun? I thought it was heavens and the earth right? Not necessarily Sun and the Earth or was that what was meant as well by heaven? If so, what is the translation regarding the greater and lesser light referring too?
I think there is a tendency to think that people back so many years ago were ignorant to an unreasonable fault or wise beyond anything man has ever known. The truth probably lies like certain truths in the middle. They certainly weren't ignorant, we to this day still use observation to relay...
I just think it is important to remember that the advancement of science was done by a lot of individuals involved in the church as well (heck wasn't the Big Bang theory developed by a priest?), the church was not always quick to condemn, and if Europe didn't sink into total ignorance it was due...
In defense of the church, a lot of what they refused to change was because it went against knowledge that had been develop by some Greek philosophers, and in general lots more from the opinions of the public. The church's reaction to Galileo could also be related to the fact about a century or...
i don't get how people can talk like racism is something that everyone just has. The fear of put bulls because of a negative experience is not the same as fearing an entire subgroup of people. Essentially you're delegating an entire group into being incapable of rational thought, incapable of...
