This is just assertion. You use terms like "I believe" and "I feel" and "I knew", these are not good reasons to believe something is true. There is scientific evidence that our personalities are rooted in the brain. If we manipulate the brain we can change a persons personality etc.
This doesn't matter to me. Both are terrible and Pascals wager makes no sense when there are multiple terrible possibilities. It is just as likely that the Islamic hell true as the Christian hell is. And actually there is not sufficient evidence for either.
I agree that we nothing can be known 100%. However, equating faith in god to not knowing that V=IR is 100% accurate are not the same. There is mountains of evidence that V=IR for DC circuits for instance and no testable evidence that a god exists. Science has been a reliable way to determine truth, faith has not. Faith in god is believing god without falsifiable evidence, many things that science has found to be most likely true are falsifiable and have not been as of yet.
Mostly because of the results. There have been dishonest scientists, wrong conclusions in science but over time those are exposed by other scientists not by faith. Science has figured out how to replace a human heart that knowledge would never have been found through faith. So equating faith in god to faith in science is not even a close comparison.
I am ok with either.Alright, then. Would you prefer to have a discussion through a PM or would you rather keep it in a public venue (and thereby also remain open to being t-boned and otherwise interrupted by various interlocutors from all angles?)
I agree. Science cannot be used on a hypothesis that cannot be falsified. Your claim of a mass-less soul is just that, a claim until you can provide a way for it to be falsifiable and demonstrated. There is no difference between your idea that we have a mass-less soul and the idea that our soul is located in our heart. Can you demonstrate that we have a soul and that it is mass-less?
Mocking only comes when there is no logic left in your arguments. Notice how I have not resorted to that. That is because I have a firm confidence of the logicality of my views. So hopefully other posters can see the difference between our arguments, emotional mocking and sound argumentation.
So you understand the details of how global positioning systems work? Or because you have used it in the past as well as others you have faith that it will work the same way this time around? Yes you have faith in all walks of life, christians however are the only ones who admit it. Faith simply means trust.
Then how do you explain all the near death experiences? I can post a video later of a cardiologist that watched 200 patients have various near death experiences. He says after 3 Minutes of death your brain still functions, so it is during those periods that people experience hell or heaven. I don't expect you to view this as proof, it's not. It's just eye witness account which can be wrong, but most likely not all of them at once are wrong. But yeah circumstantial evidence is the same evidence that convicts 90 percent of cold case criminals. Direct evidence in a cold case is rare, so they piece multiple samples of curcumstantial evidence that is subective and before a jury they decide the outcome. It does not probe anything as facts even cannot be proven for the most part. But eye witness testimony is a valid evidence. All our documented history is accounts of eye witnesses that documented what they saw.
sure they are. You have faith that the programmers and engineers of the GPS did their job correctly. You have faith that the radiation emitted from a GPS does not give you cancer of some kind. You have faith that just because 80-90 % of people who use GPS's are successful, that the next time you push the button it will turn on. That is the exact same faith I have, you actually have more faith in the GPS working than I do in God's existence. Because I can logically prove God's existence, but you cannot prove your GPS will work.
Oh, I fully trust that absolutely everyone can see the difference between you and me, gradyll. In fact, that’s exactly what I’m counting on when I choose not to directly counter your obviously false claims.
by mocking instead? And that is supposed to make people respect you? Go ahead see how that works out.
well there are several assumptions here. How do you know that map is correct, did you walk it out and verify it? I am talking about all of it, not just your usual routes, because that is how a GPS works. IT usually takes off the beaten path. Secondly, how do you know it calculated your route correctly? Did you verify it by external unbiased and provable source? Or do you have faith that the last time you used it it worked out ok? And you confirm that you have faith later, "I can tell they're accurate directions because I end up at the place I am trying to get to." So you trust it. You have faith in it. Trust is faith remember that.
actually some schools forbid cell phone use because of this very thing, hospitals, airports and other sensitive areas too. It is well documented about cell phone radiation. Wifi is worse, but the new 5G is nearly as bad. Here is one document, but there are several peer reviews, I will find later: Multiple Countries Ban Wifi & Cell Phones Around Schools, Young Children & Fetuses
Cell Phones and Cancer Risk Fact Sheet
now this is not what you said earlier, you quoted a govenrnment site that said microwave radiation was harmless. But I showed a peer review showing otherwise. You are correct here however, the closer to the head the phone is the more radiation you get. Likewise with a microwave.
yes and each time you do it, you are trusting that it will do it again. One time I turned on my GPS, it didn't turn on at all. But I had faith it would, and my faith was wrong. Yes I can say that God exists empirically based on evidence that I know is true, and relay able to anyone who wants, even a child could understand.
just reply to post one.
