    Questions on faith / religion

    We seem to have a bad language problem. When I say that I consider something, it's what I believe. When I say I conclude something, it's because I know it. Knowledge and belief are different things. There are few things I know for sure, for example that I exist. I have no possible doubt about...

    Questions on faith / religion

    No, this time you're misinterpreting me - my goalposts haven't moved. I'm promoting agnosticism. It's quite evident that I have never concluded such a thing, in consequence. I have been claiming all along and from the first moment that we must be open to possibilities. And no, not everything is...

    Why can't I go to heaven?

    Then why would you tell me your opinion, if the world would never work like you believe either? We at least have a chance of being right. Seen by whom? Punishable by whom? Not by the God I believe, certainly. Insulting is not preferable, but I believe it's unavoidable when angry. No...

    Bible as the Word of God

    Light is a region of the electromagnetic spectrum that happens to be visible to our eyes, which is why we call it "visible light". We can consider it is made up of particles called photons, or waves (duality). Whatever we consider it to be, it needs to come from a physical source potent enough...

    Bible as the Word of God

    No. I was not talking about light. I was talking about the Sun, created after plants. Day 1: Light, which He separated from the dark (evening and day) Day 2: Atmosphere/Atmospheric water/oceanic and subterranean water. Day 3: Dry land and the oceans, as well as vegetation. Day 4: The...

    Questions on faith / religion

    I never said you said we shouldn't, if you ask. But I never said we must conclude anything either. I have just said that in the absence of evidence one way or the other agnosticism is the rational position. I have never claimed my definition of soul proves the Christian soul. I've just said...

    Questions on faith / religion

    Science must not mix with religion in its metaphysical claims, because metaphysics is outside of the scope of science and into philosophy. Just as I say this I also support that religion should make no scientific claims. You haven't understood my concern. I knew what qualia are; you can even...

    Questions on faith / religion

    Fine then. But I disagree, it's not misleading; the other aspects that are conventionally attached to the soul could also be true, it's just that we cannot know for sure. Because of this, we cannot conclude that these aspects don't exist either, for example with life after death. We must remain...

    Questions on faith / religion

    I call the internal experience soul, that is where I consider *myself* to be throughout my lifetime and maybe after my death. Believing in this internal self is even more metaphysically feasible than believing in an external world, yet many reductionists seem to want to avoid important...

    Questions on faith / religion

    And how is this Occam's razor? It's just another example of hasty generalization, you cannot check each scenario. If you already define spiritual reality as something that "there will never be any good indicative reason to conclude that it exists", then no event at all could convince you...

    Questions on faith / religion

    Hey, the entirety of our qualia are, strictly, inexplicable personal experiences. Trying to say all religious experiences are self-delusions is, at best, hasty generalization. Not something paranormal or delusion are needed for some people to have a different interpretation of what the world and...

    Why can't some people understand that Evolution is not Atheism.

    Don't worry, maybe my reaction was exaggerated. To look at it from another angle, so that I make myself understood better, would you take a God who creates an universe, with all the laws that will lead to the formation of life, to be all powerful? Or would another type of God be more powerful?

    Questions on faith / religion

    Naturally, don't worry as long as you are respectful. There's no problem in not believing in God, that wouldn't offend me, I'm quite aware different people have different views, for different reasons. Hm, you're right there are many conservatives who give their back to evidence and discoveries...

    Irrefutable Proof of Evolution

    What about the human chromosome 2. It has a sequence in the middle (centromere) that corresponds to other primates' final sequences (telomeres) in their chromosomes 2 and 3 (they have one more chromosome). The explanation is that in the line from our common ancestor to humans those chromosomes...

    Why can't some people understand that Evolution is not Atheism.

    Oh, sure. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing some extra meaning. I see what you mean. At least we two seem to be on agreement then, which is nice.
