    Questionable Merits

    Indeed, that too needs to be defined as pertains to the discussion lol

    Questionable Merits

    Okay, now recently I was having a discussion and I remarked that there was a range of different literature (and discussions) that I found to have extremely minimal value, which the other person vehemently disagreed with me about. So allow me now to outline the problem I find with a certain type...

    Is this TRUE SCIENCE or AGENDA?

    Science is naturalistic by definition - science is the study of the natural world. Science does not presuppose the non existence of god. Though it could be argued that it presupposes the non existence of a scope of reality not bound by some form of natural law (not merely supernatural but...

    Detroit police chief says armed citizens deter crime

    Or to inspire someone to believe that if you are to steal a tv then the best option is to kill the inhabitants before they know you are there - just in case. There are a lot of potential escalation problems when you bring in a significant disparity in lethality.

    Shifting strategic alliances

    I dont mean to be rude, but the fact that a lot of people open the thread does not mean they understand what you are trying to accomplish or what it is supposed to represent - particularly given how few have responded to you. This is particularly evident from the posts that have been made in the...

    White House Against Iran Sanctions Bill

    Given the delicate situation in terms of Iran's potentially (I am not 100% sold) shifting domestic situation, I would suggest sanctions would be a very poor move - it would almost certainly undermine Iran's moderates and embolden their more militant.

    Solipsism at a Whole New Level

    I thought extreme Solipsism would already incorporate Anatta - at least that is how I viewed it; that by underscoring the incapacity to be sure about the existence of anything other than the self that one continued to strip away all else. In doing so it seems only natural that one would question...

    Explain how math is not a universal logic

    Because thus far humans are the only entities known to be conscious (it is arguable that animals might be conscious yet we cannot detect it) - therefore to date it seems that humans are so far the only entities to which concepts like math are known to have meaning and have the capacity to be...

    Explain how math is not a universal logic

    Its a nice video and some elegant mathematical representations are possible of many phenomenon. Thats hardly surprising; since maths and geometry are related and geometry and physical things are related. The naturalistic associations are wonderous, there is no need to pervert mathematics with...

    Is this TRUE SCIENCE or AGENDA?

    Then he fundamentally misunderstands what it means to use scientific inquiry in a retrospective fashion. In terms of retrospective inquiry we begin at the end - we are in the wonderful position of knowing how things turned out, we also have evidence on hand that suggests certain events occurring...

    This is my theory...

    Sounds like a spinozism to me There I was hoping this thread was about the four fundamental forces - some hypothesis attempting to unify the four (just as was accomplished for electricity and magnetism); perhaps some attempt to formulate an abstraction of the forces into an expression of the...

    Half of US Congressional politicians are millionaires

    It has been that way for a very long time - since about the time that payments to mass media for advertisement became a major issue of importance in determining who people vote for. Its really only people with access to a significant amount of money that have a hope of winning (indeed it...

    Which do you find most important...

    The toilet one. Its only if their belief is going to result in their imposing their views on others that I give a darn about someone else's beliefs about the supernatural. On the other hand, failing to wash your hands is unhygienic and therefore is something which will have significant potential...

    Question for Atheists

    God is an incredibly nebulous term with myriad claims ranging from plausible to implausible which are accepted by various adherents. Set is a concept similar to God though somewhat less nebulous (because of more specific attribution) with similar claims accepted by various adherents. They appear...

    God or Gods; Changing or Unchanging?

    Something which is capable of thought or action must be capable of change and therefore be subject to time (though not necessarily our own time). Edit: I should justify my assertion (I had thought it would stand on its own but I recognise now that some people will find it less intuitive). In...

    Scientific Consensus makes it true! Really?

    Atheist torpedoes cited as cause for imminent sinking of Ken Ham's Ark

    And then once they build the ark 'did I say 16,000? I meant 1,600' But lets take the larger number 35,000 - apparently creationists have far greater faith (than any scientists) in the ability of the evolutionary process to achieve the diversity of life from about 4500 years ago until now...

    Is Abiogenesis relevant to Evol or not?

    Relevant to but not a part of. Abiogenesis is a theory explaining the origins of life - models a way that components that can reproduce can be formed Evolution is a theory explaining the diversity of life - models a way that natural selection combined with variation in a reproduction processes...
