I wouldn't say I "know" about God, but based on the way a chemical injection completely changed the way my mind thinks to prevent paranoid delusions from occurring, I feel pretty sure that free-will doesn't exist and the brain is simply an electrochemical machine. What I infer from this is that...
Well politicians would lose too many votes if they went after historical examples of religious hate speech, so it is probably a bit optimistic to expect them to outlaw the Quran given people tend to act in accordance with their own perceived self interests, but current examples of hate speech...
If I recall @ChristineM
Called them "hypothesis" which if I understand correctly means that it will require testing against further evidence (should it become available) to become a scientific theory.
However these hypothesis do seem to be based on reason as opposed to a false dichotomy which...
I'm pretty much the opposite on pascals wager to be honest, the chances of practising the wrong religion are so great as to make it a worthless wager - that and that a God would presumably know of my insincerity.
I also think that bowing to a tyrant may be practical to some, but perhaps its...
Hmm, I suppose it depends what you mean by pre-BB, if you mean pre-expansion at T>0 then it seems likely to my imagination that there was a T=0, but I believe we don't know if there was that before T=0 moment.
It seems possible to me that at T=0 all the mass of the universe was already there in...
I consider myself a part of agnostic theism because although I see no evidence or logical reason to believe in a God there is a sort of feeling there that there is one that I haven't managed to shake in spite of my critical analysis of the concept.
Not sure what this has to do with science...
@Link
With any ancient text not written to explicitly address today's requirements you have problems such as;
-Whose interpretation of the book do you judge by?
And
In conflicts between people who follow different books and/or different interpretations which do you judge by?
Additionally in...
It is unknown if there was a "pre-big bang" according to my understanding, scientists only have a limited knowledge of what happened at T>0, so it is not possible to compare the mass after the big bang to an unknown quantity.
Well the mass may have always been there or it may have come from...
I dont see why given that the "nothing" referred to in the theories seems to be more of a technical term meaning nothing but the fabric of space-time and not the strawman absolute nothing you appear to be implying in my view.
Sure, the founder of the Baha'i faith known as Baha'u'llah wrote a book called the Kitab-i-Aqdas which he described as his most holy book and which contains the bulk of his law.
In the Kitab-i-Aqdas it states;
'Should anyone intentionally destroy a house by fire, him also shall ye burn; should...
As a person with a specific God belief there are plenty of gods i believe dont exist.
If I'm wrong it all depends on the manner in which I'm wrong. If there is no God ill likely end up as nothing more than worm food. If my God exists it will grant me life in the spirit realm for as long as I...
Ah, quoting my addressing of your question, pretending I didn't address it then accuse anyone else of bad faith, where is my irony meter in my opinion.
In my view one moment you are pretending to call out both using a false equivalence you can't substantiate - flip.
The next moment you are only prepared to call out Biden - flop.
Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation: – “I do solemnly...
But you have alleged that Trump and Biden are equivalent, so it's not a non sequitur to expect your detailed comparison as evidence for your claim in my view.
