    Random Numbers

    "Not everything that happens is necessarily an effect, therefore, not every event necessarily needs a cause." What's an example of something that isn't an effect...doesn't have a cause? "So, your circular argument begins here. I don't believe there can be random numbers, so "Are random...

    Your favorite paradox?

    "Also, as to the ass. A rational animal presumably would not sit around and starve." I made a thread about random numbers that came from me thinking about this ass. Is a closed, perfectly logical system capable of creating random numbers? I think that's what the paradox is all about. It...

    Random Numbers

    "Ok, let's start with this. Why are you a determinist?" I am a Naturalist. I can see that something happens, and as a result, this other thing happens. For most effects, I have seen a causes, and I can see how the cause directly influenced the effect to be the way it is. Since I believe...

    Random Numbers

    "Basically, I'm suggesting we have random numbers for the same reason we can't predict rainfall in Tallahassee for the next century." But that isn't random. There are just variables you don't know of afffecting play, making it seem random. When I say random, I mean "a law of nature picking...

    The origins of existance

    "Or it might just reach a point of stasis and stay the same. " Not really. If I'm not mistaken, the universe has to be either expanding or retracting at all times for the Theory of Relativity to work. It's either expands forever (cold death), expands, but then retracts into a big crunch...

    Random Numbers

    I want to discuss Random numbers, but first, let me give some background. I'm a Determinalistic Fatalist, which means that every situation we find ourselves in is the way it is because of past determinants/variables, and there are no random numbers, so everything works like clockwork. If...

    Your favorite paradox?

    "I think a concept doesn´t require language. Communicating it does." Maybe most concepts, but I believe that the "illogical" is a complete creation of language, and has absolutely no basis in reality. "In a realm without logic god was omnipotent and not omnipotent simultaneously." I...

    Your favorite paradox?

    "I've enjoyed the 'Can God create a rock so heavy that he can't lift it.' things for a while, untill I spotted the (quite obvious) problem with them: Can a creature that can do everything do something that causes him to not be able to do a specific thing. An omnipotent creature that can't...

    Morality Is Relative

    I only read the first and last page. Here's my thoughts on morality: Morality is relative; evil only exists in the eye of the Beholder (where else would it exist? Is it a ether substance floating around a murder scene? No, it only exists in perception). One person may view an act as...

    God doesn't like me

    Christians love to use this phrase, don't they? He can't force them to love him, but he can, and does, force them in a position to where they will never be able to love him (if that person was born a jungle tribesman who never has the chance to hear of Jesus, for example). If it's immoral...

    God doesn't like me

    It enforces peace; without it, we wouldn't have as much peace as we have now. Peace is a good thing. No, I've decided that I know better than some bronze-age sheep herders. I've yet to hear anything God has said. Pretty strong claim. I know that you have to hold on to this belief for...

    God doesn't like me

    Well, you can twist our words however you want, but no. I don't worship any gods. I don't believe in any gods. And I am a human, not a god, by definition. And that's all I'm post in this thread now.

    Philosophical argument for the temporality of the universe

    Agreed. I'm still saying, "We would have never got here from when?" What's the starting point in the journey? The start of time? Doesn't exist. Of course it wouldn't make sense. So, AGAIN, we would have never got here.....from where? Oh, and what everyone else says.

    Philosophical argument for the temporality of the universe

    And I just read through the last few pages.... What about what I said? It's still being said that if it changes, it can't be eternal (in both directions). So I ask again: We would have never got here....from where? The start of the universe? There isn't one. So where?

    Philosophical argument for the temporality of the universe

    "However, if it was created it is not eternal." I thought that heaven and hell were created.....? (man, I haven't been on the net in ages)
