Top 10

[Resha Caner]

I don't know that we have the discipline to get what I want from this, but let's give it a try ... obtaining some consensus on the 10 topics that occur most often in this forum.

A suggested place to start:

0. Omniscience/omnipotence vs. free will
1. Existence of the spiritual
2. Purpose
3. Fixed references for truth vs. relativism
4. The nature of time and the beginning
5. Discernment of our origin
6. Our ability to extend life vs. inevitability of an end
7. The historicity of Jesus
8. The veracity of the Bible
9. Establishing what we know

Consensus? Impossible. We'll get a list of diverse views.

religious epistemology

Doesn't that fit within #9?

 

[Resha Caner]

Maybe consensus wasn't the right word. A statistical majority?

So, would you put something different on the list?

 

[Eudaimonist]

So, would you put something different on the list?

Hold on. Maybe I misunderstood you. I thought that you meant a consensus of opinions regarding those ten subjects. Did you mean a consensus regarding which ten subjects appear most frequently?

Yes. And after that, I have another little excercise, assuming there are enough people who would like to participate.

Once upon a time there used to be an Apologetics subforum.

 

[Eudaimonist]

Agreed, but the subject does come up frequently. That's what the thread is about.

Hello?! what about EVOLUTION VS CREATIONS!!!!

There have to be hundreds of thousands of posts on here regarding that topic alone. Each thread has no less than 70 pages...

I think Resha meant within this subforum, Philosophy.

What about ethics? And paradoxes?

The lifting the rock question is the most common and annoying thing ever.

And paradoxes?

You just want your screen name on the list.

The lifting the rock question is the most common and annoying thing ever.

Yeah, I guess I wasn't thinking about the annoying questions, just the ones that are actually interesting - challenging. Paradox seems a bit general to me. This question might fit under #0, but ... I don't know.

What about ethics?

OK. I'll give you this one. I could probably find a way to combine #7 & #8 to make room.
