RE: Being vs. doing
Good. Through what exactly does the realization happen? Can you think of an example out of real life? Yes. Once while working I learned information that could get other people in trouble. I was asked about

RE: Being vs. doing
I am pleased to receive your comment and I welcome it. Where Plato got his insights from, is a mystery some people wonder about. I'm not entirely sure, although I would guess that at some point he realized

RE: A COSMIC MULTI-PLAYER GAME - My interpretation of the book of Genesis
Someone using violence upon you, to give into his will is one who, in principle, feels powerless to use other means than violence. There is also the phenomena, when people feel powerless, they find the

RE: A COSMIC MULTI-PLAYER GAME - My interpretation of the book of Genesis
I heard a pastor say, "It is possible to go to hell a smarter person." How foolish are those who destroy Truth and then beg for its fruits. I can agree with the gist of it. I have my own theory

RE: A COSMIC MULTI-PLAYER GAME - My interpretation of the book of Genesis
I do believe in an omnipotent (and omniscient and omnibenevolent) God. From my experience I have even come to believe that he would not only be omnipotent, but also the source of power. This is because,

RE: A challenge to the thesis of "intellectual laziness" of believers in God
Right. I must say I agree with much of what you say. Personally I am not as familiar with the Old Testament as I am with the New. As far as I know, sometimes God is described more in a human form, while

RE: Child’s play
I can see. Perhaps adults are just children who are forced by circumstances to act differently. And maybe (or maybe not?) to mature is, in a way, not to change ourselves but to learn to move in this new

RE: Why the universe is most likely not infinite – Part 5: Popular argument against infinity
Do you think that people simply cease to exist? As if they had disappeared or been disintegrated? But I think you are right and we have no certainty about this.

Well, you presuppose that our own life is finite. If we ask ourselves: What was I before this life? We can think, for example, that all the matter that forms our body existed before we were what we call

No, yes, perhaps it could be relevant in some subjects, due to the fact that the assumption of infinity has repercussions in other areas, such as the nature of the universe in which we live. There are

Hi! Sorry for the late reply. I had problems with my computer and lost access to my account. I was trying to log in but could not. I try several times. In the end it was a grammatical error. :) What is

To resolve that paradox, for example, you need to take into account that the size of the set of infinite present times is also infinite, it's just that today can't be the last moment, there are infinite

I don't think I'm going to watch it. But thanks for the recommendation. Given that there will be an infinite number of present times, then it is logically conceivable that an infinite amount of time has

If, as some argue, the universe is expanding, then it could not be infinite. I think. Does infinity even exists? Is there anything truly infinite?
