Are you offering? ;)
Sort of like the holodeck, right? I did think of that, but then you're in a simulation, and you still have the same problem - how would you not...
"A casino where I'm winning? I must be in Heaven! ...A casino where I always win?... that's boring, I must really be... IN HELL!"
I use the name "heaven" for convenience, but it's not like the Bible is the only text that describes an eternal paradise in the afterlife.
I wouldn't say equally plausible. I know that, in the end, something is either true or it's not, and plausibility becomes irrelevant (some...
I don't think that's particularly true. All he was saying was that disproving creationism wouldn't in itself evidence evolution. I don't think...
Not really. Sometimes it really isn't a case of "different viewpoints". When I was in school they used to say "there is no right or wrong...
Do us a favour and don't become a surgeon then, yeah?
Yes you do. I mean, everyone does to some extent, apart from infants, but you definitely do. The fact that you think about why you are saying...
How are you more sure that you know it is false than an idiot is convinced he knows everything worth knowing? I don't wish to offend, but I can't...
So what would come back would be a severely modified version of one's self? I've been thinking this, and thinking that, certainly, if I was...
Essentially, the bleeding obvious: if we don't believe in a creator, we believe the universe is either an accident or an inevitability. Certain...
Actually no, they're impossible, non-existent. Or at least, that's an argument I believe. The author interprets what they say while they say it,...
Meh. Way I see it: a few paltry material gains versus very little to lose. Whether you intend your posts as self-help is, as Barthes would...
I see what you are saying about equilibrium, but I don't believe that it's rational to imagine it as a natural state. The universe is, by all...
In order for eternity in paradise to be livable, we would have to be completely changed as people, our personalities rewritten so that we would...
Unfortunately, it's free. No rights reserved, Barthes' death of the author, etc. <3 I have no problem with self-help as a tool. I don't think...
"Throughout these 400 gloriously illustrated pages, learn exactly how misguided the self-help movement is, and how YOU can find the key to true...
Indeed. Evolution if anything prevents true equilibrium. Stillness cannot occur, because variation and mutation - even something as small as...
Would we? I mean, I know we did as Christians, historically, so there's no real reason to think ourselves incapable of a relapse whether we're...
Separate names with a comma.
