Hello,
I don't think there is any secrecy at in God. I think the existence of God is clear enough for someone who sincerely seeks him. Only if your standard of what is clear enough is unrealisticly high then it appears as a bunch of secrecy to you.
Hello bobhikes,
Just noticed the thread is already some months old but since I don't expect you changed your idea regarding this so much I still want to add something. I think the 3 propositions you listed are problematic or at least too vague.
On the face of it this does not really seem to be...
Hello,
It all depends on which model of time you adopt. Time traveling is based on the B-Model of time which is sometimes also called the tenseless model of time. If the A-Model of time happen to be true then it does simply not allow for the possibility of time travel or changing the future...
aleykum salaam ve rahmetullah,
One question before I attempt to write it down for you. Are you more interested in the way how it happened or the reasons why I made this decision?
Hello,
I agree that it is much simpler to just look out for the moon rather than deduce it from secondary measurements, but this was not really the thing in question. The real issue was is it possible to prove the moon exist without relying on direct observation on it and I think the answer is...
Hello Revoltingest,

Hello,
I think you misunderstand the meaning of the logic in regards to philosophy. It seems you are using the word logic with meaning of 'common sense'. When used however as a discipline in philosophy logic basicly means a set of rules on which basis we can derive or validate a conclusion...
Hello,
There are basicly 2 lines of argument offered against such a view. The first is that such an epistemology would require us to reject things we would all agree are rational to believe in. Such beliefs would include:
1. Metaphysical statements like there is an external world or there are...
Hello,
It changes from time to time, but at the moment I can't decide between House and Dexter. They both are great series with even greater characters.
Hello,
Years ago I was in a very similar position as you describe. For a start I think you should get rid of the idea you can somehow know with absolute certainty if God exists or not. There are hardly any things about reality we can say with a 100% certainty. For most things we believe we may...
Hello,
Good topic for my first day. In the last forum about religion I was active in I also started my first discussion with the problem of evil so it seems like an interesting coincidence that I start off with the same topic here and I must say I really enjoy discuss about challenging topics...
Hello,
I found this forum after a quick search via google. About my person I live in Germany and religionwise I'm a Muslim, not raised as one but later in my life reverted to it from Atheism/Agnosticism. I love to read, learn and friendly discuss with other people. My interested lies besides...
