Chinese engineering technology

So you think that somehow Science got it wrong?

I sure do.

 

[Jazer]

I sure do.

Ok, so you believe that any carnivorous animal that you find that is now extinct died in the flood?

I don't know if we can find animals back that far, but ya, I suppose so.

So whatz r the conclusions? Will the intelligence be raise through designer babies anytime soon? I think that if China is currelntly playing the game it is only because it is not setting the rules. When it gets more power the invisible hand will start to wonder and play with the germlines. Maybe this is part of what objectivists and libertarians are looking forward to, alongside the development of advanced nootrophs through mass human experimentation.

I think for intelligence to come out of a laboratory, intelligence has to be in it first.

But what is God's IQ?

The IQ formula is: mental age/chronological age * 100


I think for God that may be:


inf/inf*100....

1*100...

Ergo, God has average IQ: 100.

(but then again infinity is not a "number" to be calculated with, so maybe His IQ is incalculable...)

You're math is right, but it goes like this:

∞/∞ = ∞

∞ x 100 = ∞

Thus, God's IQ = ∞ or, as we call it: omniscience.

So if God's knowledge is infinite, then objects of knowlddge are potentially infinite too (depending on who you are).

-- What?

 

[GrowingSmaller]

-- What?

God knows such and such to be the case. That is His knowledge. If such and such is limited, then God's knowledge must be limited too. If the set of objects of knowledge (not just physical objects but e.g. mathematical ones too) is limited (i.e. there is only a limited amount to know of) then infinite knowledge is impossible.

Therefore if Gods knowledge is infinite, "such and such" or "whatever is the case" or "objects of knowledge" must be infinite too. For example if there were limited fractions between 0 and 1, knowing them would be an example of finite knowledge. If they are infinite, then knowing them would be infinite knowledge. If Gods knowledge is infinite there must be an infinite set of thing to know.


Yet I am not sure how to conceptualise knowing of an infinite set because it is not analogous with our way of doing things, which comes in limited propositional form like "the sky is blue" or "1/8 is a fraction between 1 and 2".

Finally whether infinite knowledge is possible for you or not seems to depend on who you are. A man cannot it seems work in any other than a finite manner, for example by examining one fraction at a time. If you were God on the other hand it would apparently be possible.

Um ... is the answer " 42 " ?

Um ... is the answer " 42 " ?

That is the answer but the question has been forgotten. That might make it seem like a bad answer, but you have not seen much if you think that.
