I don't know how he cannot, but I also don't know how he can. How are people supposed to prove or disprove questions like this? All we can really do is rattle on about things that manifest themselves in our reality, with hope of finding absolute.
Absolutes are seriously overrated, except this absolut: And anyway, ya hear bout the only constant in the Universe? It's change!
That's more or less what I was getting at pixie. and thanx, I believe I will have a nice day. Hope somethin' magic happens at you today.
NO, SAYING "OOPSIE" made your comment sound stupid...or cute...I can never tell the differance (hence the tragic nature of most of my relationships)
well, we didn't respect nature, so I agree, we are in for a serious buttkicking... which I hope happens after I die. It will not be pretty. Of course, we could defy all logic and pull out of this communal, global, death spiral. lol as if We can't even slow down, let alone stop, let alone return to sustainability. See ya on the other side.
Occam does not think any of us have the faintest idea what a god is.... And that..is why organised religion exists... Occam
I do have the faintest idea of what God is, as a matter of fact I would say it is truly the faintest, could hardly be fainter. I think God is beyond our comprehension, that is my faintest idea. I think organized as opposed to traditional religion is more about power and control than anything else.
Well, it might be appropriate to compare God to a cabbage. Not just any cabbage, but a leafy, really stinky cabbage. Maybe skunk cabbage, I dunno. To sum it up, I know God, and I know cabbage, and I know the differences between the two. God is knowable, just like everything else. Or maybe its a joke, like terrorism, and people don't get it.
Yes .. if a god is... We have nothing but speculation. And if it is..we,, with method a pig headed determination..will find it... This is humanity... And occam has faith in only one thing... The potential of humanity to understand anything it wishes to. This faith is based in precedent...[as opposed to the 'other' faith] Occam
This is certainly a leap of faith because there is no way it can be based on reason. How can you possibly know that a you can understand everything unless you know everything? You're not suggesting that you know everything, are you Occam? I never thought you to believe in a priori knowledge. And even if you do know everything, how are you so sure that there isn't something more which you don't know? After all, if you don't know it, how would you go about knowing that there is something you don't know, let alone go about learning it?
