Re: A question for the enlightened.
One knows what one must know, don Pincho. (Or, in biblical usage, one knows who one must know.) One knows one known, then the next. One known, one known, one known. One cannot know more than one knows now. Thus, what one knows now is all that is known, until the next moment of now and all that is kn...

Re: People who frequent this website are not very bright
average person, assuming that you are sincere in the interpretation of your perceptions, then without attempting to invalidate your interpretation of perceptions, and accepting it at face value, an interesting point becomes apparent. In life, not everyone will behave as you would have them behave. T...

Re: Which came first Consciousness or Thought
Consciousness precedes thought.
Consciousness does not require thought.
Thought does require consciousness.
What is consciousness? I Am.
I Am, therefore I think.
Know it, love it, spread the word.

Re: Neverlution
Interesting that the dictionary includes a definition of entropic that doesn’t require the qualifier of “closed system.” A nod to creationists? “Again, some might say the maximal homogeneous distribution implied by entropy sounds rather orderly... :-)” Yes, as I wrote earlier in this thread ... “Cur...

Re: Neverlution
The ordered structure of a DNA molecule, as an example, exists. The ordered form of the molecule flows from the function of the molecule, the function of the molecule dictates the ordered form. Whether or not one’s aesthetic sensibility infers this to be chaos or order is irrelevant to the functiona...

Re: I believe in God. Taking qs
If that is your answer to my question, which was about belief (in God), then apparently belief is a component in how you define God. If it is, and for you belief is a requirement for God to exist, perhaps we can discuss. That is, if you're patient and persistent, as my replies are not always immedia...

Re: I believe in God. Taking qs
Infinity divided by x equals infinity. God is. However, this is not a statement of belief or faith. It is merely a description of phenomena. The infinite aspect of God can be described as the concept called infinite potentiality. The particular aspect of God exists as manifestation. Anything that ca...

Relative to the perpetuation of the species, which is the purview of the theory of evolution , perceptions can be invalid, as perceptions are labeled valid or invalid relative to the purpose of perpetuating the species. If poison mushrooms are perceived as tasting delicious, that perception of tast...

The point is not if the mind interprets sensory perception into visions. The point is to be found further, in what you neglected to include. The point is whether or not the interpretation of sensory perception is valid ... valid being defined in terms of how accurately perception correlates to pheno...

Sure, you may see an order in chaos when no one else can see that order. Your mind may organize incoming floods of perceptual data into visions of dancing pink elephants. Relative to the criterium that the elephants do not exist independent of your mind’s interpretation of sensory perception, your m...

Re: Utilizing Christian faith to counter negative cultural influ
The point for discussion that mywhitecollar references is the assertion that:
“Jesus Heals and Restores. Pornography Destroys.”
rather than the point concerning advertising budgets.
For discussion purposes, though, unless one is preaching to the choir, the term “Jesus” is a bit vague.

Re: Neverlution
Interesting term, “always relative.” It implies an absolute condition, which is negated by the term itself. Order and disorder are defined in relation to chaos, which is a concept given definition by the mind of man. Evolution is a theory describing a type of change. Place a thousand yards of string...

Evolution isn’t a law, it’s a theory. Murphy’s Law is a law. ;) Murphy’s Law is supported by the empirical evidence that disorder follows order. However, the theory of evolution posits the opposite. Order from disorder, general to specific, simple to complex ... which implies the intervention of int...

Re: Woman as friend
The stronger the woman the more she is like a force of nature: beautiful, destructive, replenishing, impartial, unfair. It’s not like you survive the force and live happily ever after, for like nature, she perpetually continues. But if you can merge into harmony with this force rather than cling to ...

Re: problem as a viewpoint
If the current population is not sustainable, even though the population is so sustained that it is fat and getting fatter (which some experts say is a problem), then what number of people would constitute a sustainable population? And, sustainable for how long? What span of years defines sustainable?

Gentlemen, thank you for responding. It’s a pleasure to both read and address your comments and viewpoint. I see that we are using the term “sustainable” in different ways.

Hi all. “Problem” is an interesting paradigm that frames thought. However, what is the basis for that paradigm? Is not the so-called “problem” of overpopulation, or any problem for that matter, nothing more than a label applied to a perception of reality which fails to conform to a conceptual ideal ...
