@Simon
Trump is evil. He may not physically kill anyone with his own hands…but people have died because of his actions and I’m 100% certain he feels zero remorse. -

Atheism and Spirituality 6 years, 10 months ago@Simon – to remind us of our own insignificance in the scale of things for starters. Try finding a place without light pollution at night, lie down, look up for 10 minutes and report back 🙂

Reg the Fronkey Farmer replied to the topic You won't find God in the dictionary. in the forum Atheism 6 years, 10 months ago
@Simon I feel that relying on the adjective “positive” is a flaw at the beginning. “Positive” is a concept limited to human beings, or at best, living things…
Simon first you say “positive” is limited to human beings. I explained it was related to the “positive” properties of the experiment into the godlike existence of an entity. I am not g…[Read more]

@Simon – are you an advocate of NOMA as Gould understood it? When you say “God” what do you mean?
To talk about God in scientific language might seem bland and uninformative…
Religion is in conflict with Science but science is completely unconcerned with any notion of “god” or other super-naturalism. It only investigates the natural world…[Read more]

“@simon, so what to do then? I would like to help her, I am almost sure that she is unwell but every intent of contact from my part was rejected. Should I just let it go? I don’t want to be negligent of her needs.”

@Simon. Yes that is exactly what I thought.
She was always feeling isolated living abroad (she still does not speak the language very well although she spent 10+ years there) and additionally she lost two very close familiars in one single year. I was trying to be there for her, calling frequently, asking how she was feeling etc. I couldn’t be…[Read more]

I think there are many examples within our psychology of things dying and being reborn.
@Simon – Can you give me an example as I cannot think of any myself.

Davis replied to the topic Jordan Peterson definition of God in the forum Theism 6 years, 12 months ago
It’s difficult to take your claim of your support for what Jordan Peterson has said…with the kind of things you’ve said in the past. The only comment that gives you an emotional response is the one about women not being opressed throughout history. You stand by the rest of Jordan Peterson’s astonishing grossness.
Okay. So you agree…[Read more]

Humanism 7 years agoAnd the men who “end up” in those same jobs still tend to be paid more than the women who do.
Indeed Reg. Your guy, @Simon, is only half right. Not only do they get fewer high level jobs (even the unmarried career dedicators) but also make less in those jobs than non-women do.
None of this is to say that men don’t deserve the salaries they get. W…[Read more]

Davis replied to the topic Reincarnation. Does a multiverse (if true) vindicate it? in the forum Small Talk 7 years ago
It seems the lengthy text I typed out explaining how fine-tuning is a fallacy didn’t really get through. Fine tuning is an extension of the cave-fallacy. If you find a cave that is habitable, it is not logical to conclude that the cave was created by someone. Caves pop up all the time by completely unrelated geological forces that have ab…[Read more]

@Simon, TA might not have a valid certificate right now, so that should cause a security warning.

@Simon, I know my humor is painful to some. It was meant only in jest and it would be even more painful if I was to explain it 🙂

Sorry Simon but Earle is just cutting and pasting directly from other sites. It is not his own “work”.
@Simon “reality is logical”?
Not down at the level where quantum mechanics is involved in the production of DNA. That is why so many physicists are now working in “quantum biology“.

Sunday School 8 years ago@Simon, it is no more an artificial question than the much overrated “Trolley Problem” question that is often considered by under-graduates. Hypothetical yes but sincere also. You have 30 seconds to decide which wire to cut. One will save your adored twin while the other will save X number of people. At what value of X (or n ≥ X) would you c…[Read more]
