Ask the Deist Philosophical Stuff

[Archaeopteryx]

Philosophically, if I'm driving a car at the speed of light and I turn on my lights, does anything happen?

My answer agrees with what others have given, except for exploding.

Philosophically, you´d be in for an enlightenment.

Lol, I'd think there's no philosophically because I'd be too busy wondering what the hell is going on. Why not cosmic cops to pull me over?

I'm hurt; where's the worms.

On topic now (since 29 pages of another thread went on without a hitch and my mirrored image of a thread was shut down in 2).

Ask me philosophical stuff in this thread. Please make sure to use the word philosophy or similar at least three times per post... philosophically speaking.

Since no one else is asking I thought of another question. How do you reconcile the issue of the primacy of existence with a creator god?

You said this earlier in the thread....

"However, all arguments for deism come down to a perceived probability (at least more than 50%) in favor of a creator of some sort, a rejection of revelation as acceptable truth, and an appeal to reason/logic as the only sources for actual knowledge."

What would you put the probability of a creator god existing at? Are the factors in this probability philosophical or scientific or both? Assuming you don't believe this creator god is personal in any way, do you believe it communicates with mankind in any way (for example, through truths revealed in philosophy)? If you do believe in a personal creator god communicates with people, how does it do it?

Philosophically, do you see any advantage in believing in deism over other theistic positions?

Do your beliefs about god borrow from the philosophies of any religions?
