Different state past (2)

[dad]

No, Jesus was not in my reality (not the way he is described in the Bible.) They are in your fantasy.

OK.

And if you want me to be specific about what "reality" means when I use the word, the best explanation is sitting right outside your window. Go and have a look at it. It is what is really there, what really exists. What can be tested and verified by repeated tests. What withstands scrutiny.

So this evening I see a fence. I guess that means that you are on the other side of reality?

 

[dad]

Yes, you are now the word of God (according only to you, of course).

Oh? So what are you the Easter Bunny?

No other Christian I know thinks that God proposed a "different state past", and I know lots of them.

If they knew what it was, you might lose a few friends.

You are the one that should "get a grip", if creation was a miracle, it does not require a "different state past".

No? So if we take all the land and water on the planet and move them around separating them, would we get any heat in your little dream land? Would we have a garden planted and trees and fruit in a week? Would we have creatures talking to man? Would we have a planet and no stars? etc etc etc....?

No, he is on the other side of your reality.

 

[dad]

No, he is on the other side of your reality.

So he is on the other side of some reality?

 

[CabVet]

So he is on the other side of some reality?

Yes, yours.

 

[dad]

Yes, yours.

So then you claim that reality is something that represents my views. OK. Hard to argue with that.

No, the other way around, I claim that inside your head, what you speak is reality. In other words, your views represent your reality. Because I am an open-minded person, I will even go one step further and say that your views might even be the one true reality, although chances (99.999999%) are that they are not.

 

[dad]

No, the other way around, I claim that inside your head, what you speak is reality.

So part of reality is opposed to your version. OK.

In other words, your views represent your reality.

Hey, some parts are called one thing other parts another.

Because I am an open-minded person, I will even go one step further and say that your views might even be the one true reality,

Unless you run away you will be forced to admit it anyhow. But hey, get a jump on the inevitable...OK with me.

although chances (99.999999%) are that they are not.

So we should pretend that you set the universal reality odds now? Maybe you better get back to bowing or some other hobby, why make a fool of yourself?

Hey ask one to disagree and show why!!!
