    Difference in moral thought between atheists and believers

    Same could be said for math and science. That doesn't make them useless in determining things about the world.

    The Potential for Solar Activity in 2025.

    Well, hell then. We'll be okay. Food, medicine, and other goods will be able to get from point A to point B. But, especially since it won't affect solar generators, I might go get one of them and get some time in with my Playstation 2 when the lights are out. Hell, it might even do the world...

    The Potential for Solar Activity in 2025.

    Thanks man. That clears things up a lot. But I heard that cars and other things will be unable to run. Was I misinformed? It's quite possible. I'm getting most of my info from online articles and YouTube videos. Not scientific journals.

    The Potential for Solar Activity in 2025.

    @Polymath257 or any other science buffs: As most of you probably know, we are at risk of experiencing another Carrington Event in 2025. This has the potential to knock out the power grid for weeks... perhaps even months. This would be catastrophic, as most of us rely on electric power for our...

    Atheists and their jargon of insults

    Are you aware that philosophers were around before the scientific method was ever conceived of? Scientists came along and said, "Lol. We can prove things about nature at a level of precision that you thinky-*** philosophers could never dream of!" And the philosophers were like: "Yeah. You got...

    Revelation or Psychosis?

    Maybe you should write or do some other creative activity. It worked for Philip K. Dick.

    Atheists and their jargon of insults

    The Big Bang isn't an explanation of WHY the universe exists in the first place. It is a history of what happened following the moments that the early universe was in a very hot, infinitely dense state. One could, if they were so inclined, posit that God is the one who put the infinitely hot...

    Atheists and their jargon of insults

    Sure. No evolutionary biologists talks about "things appearing on their own." You perhaps are referring to the "free lunch" hypothesis in cosmology. That theory is by no means widely accepted. Plenty of opponents to be found among established scientists.

    Atheists and their jargon of insults

    And the moon is somehow suspended above the Earth.... MAGIC! ps: I LOVED your comprehensive and thorough portrayal of evolution.

    Catholics: What is the Difference Between a Mortal and Venial Sin?

    BTW, I was raised Catholic and I STILL have no clue as to the exact criteria which might separate the two.

    Catholics: What is the Difference Between a Mortal and Venial Sin?

    Like, I tried Googling it, but the answers were ALL over the place. I'm just curious if there is some exhaustive "Church approved" list of acts that are deemed "mortal sins" because I can't seem to find one. Or is it just an ambiguous distinction? (As in "serious immoral/irreligious acts" are...

    Mathematics, Discovered or Invented?

    Very true the Egyptians and Sumerians had understood many geometric concepts centuries before the Greeks. And they applied these "truths" in order to help them more efficiently perform commerce and agriculture. But the Greeks had a peculiarity. A peculiarity that still remains with us inj modern...

    Mathematics, Discovered or Invented?

    And for those non-nerds out there, I'd like to point out Polymath's use of the word "postulate" in response to my claims about "axioms." An axiom is a self evident thing. Something that is obviously true. "Self-evident" is a term that gets tossed around a lot. A postulate is similar to an...

    Mathematics, Discovered or Invented?

    Excellent post. And good questions! I envy people who can think as precisely as you do. @Polymath257 I hope this isn't becoming a "let's bother Polymath with all our questions" thread. But I do have one more objection if you don't mind. What about fractals? Fractals were studied at first for...

    Mathematics, Discovered or Invented?

    Understood. And I concede all my other points. You've answered those objections very well, especially concerning gravity. And you've also shown that the Pythagorean theorem is not true in any kind of universal sense. But I was wondering: are there axioms that are shared between both Euclidean...

    Mathematics, Discovered or Invented?

    I'm not certain what my conclusions are to this query. But I do seem like to push back on the "invented" position. So I'm stuck somewhere between mathematical realism and your position. It seems to me that the Pythagorean Theorem says something genuine about right triangles. The things it says...

    Not sure if this is the right forum, but--maybe we can talk about Spinoza and his concept of God for a while

    I'll make an effort to not call you "man" then. I don't wanna offset you. I would ask for your forgiveness if I say it in the heat of the moment. But I''ll try my best not to do it intentionally.

    Not sure if this is the right forum, but--maybe we can talk about Spinoza and his concept of God for a while

    I love me some Bakunin. I'm not familiar with the arguments that he is somehow not an anarchist. And, if these arguments hold water... what is he then?
