The Truth is whatever continuously replicates. A truth is an instance of The Truth, such as a fact or a perspective. Bear in mind that people lie about the resolution and voracity of their perspective. "Continuously replicates"? So you are saying that Trump spouts the truth and integrity ...

its seems to be fashionable now to redefine personal knowledge as personal truth. turning what i know or have experienced isn't what you know or have experience in to "truth is relative". and converting that into if it isn't known, then its not true. After reading 15 pages of opinions on ...

Atla, Age is saying that mere cause and effect automatically is creation and evolution. Like you randomly throw the pieces of a 1000-piece puzzle into the air, and all of them fall into the right place and create the picture. I do not need you to tell me what Age is saying. I can figure it out for m...

Every action has a reaction. Every reaction is a new creation. Every new creation evolves. Every evolving creation interacts with other creations. I have no problem with any of the above and accept it as true and accurate. The Universe is, fundamentally, made up of 'matter', and a distance between ...

Nope. And I continue to think clarification about creation, which tends to include the idea of intent, is right on topic . As are the other points I raised. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. If Age is not interested in communicating more clearly, that's fine. (Underlining...

So, again, to get back to what I actually said and wrote here: For those that cannot comprehend the irrefutable. Every action has a reaction. Every reaction is a new creation. Every new creation evolves. Every evolving creation interacts with other creations. The Universe is, fundamentally, made up...

So, the title of this thread is, still, about 'evolution-creation', but this one, like "atla", want to 'talk about' 'intent', for some reason. Nope. And I continue to think clarification about creation, which tends to include the idea of intent, is right on topic . As are the other points...

While posting in Bill Wiltrack's thread on Ebola, I mentioned that I thought I saw a connection between Ebola and the Laws in Deuteronomy. Bill asked me to expand on that idea, so here it is. A little late, but here. Ebola, Dinosaurs, and Deuteronomy -- is there a connection? Maybe only in my mind, ...

Well, the definition of "secular" clearly rules out the spiritual: No. Secular rules out religion. You keep insisting that religion and spiritual are the same thing. This is where the false dichotomy comes in, not with the word, "secular", but with the word, "religion"...

Now, now; simmer down: there's nothing wrong with saying "secular ism ." It doesn't distort the meaning at all. You're mistaking "-ism" for some allegation of bias. So you are saying that "dual" means the same as "dualism". "Race" means the same as ...

I don't see the problem with the words "secular spirituality" and suspect that you are creating a false dichotomy by associating "secular" with non-religious and "spirituality" with religious. Since "secular" can mean "earthy" or "worldly" ...

Greylorn and Immanuel; I have been gone from this forum for a while and don't usually post in the Religion section, but your thread has drawn my interest. After reviewing your posts, I must say that I honestly respect your positions and even see some truth in your statements, but I just can not buy ...

How can one distinguish a true judgement from a false one. There cannot be one without the other. When 1+1 goes through the processes of the mind...it references all instances of the circumstance (What it has been taught, how it feels, pictures of apples...) A chemical is released, pathways go to t...

Nibbana;

Hi. Welcome to the forum.

This confuses me. The last time I checked, we still did not know what consciousness actually is, so how can we know what it is not?

Gee
