Qualia Soup "Putting Faith In Its Place"

You cannot say that the possibilities are endless unless you are speaking of uncreated possibilities. Any object which requires a material process for its make would be excluded. So the objects which would not be excluded are objects which exist independent of material functions.
...what?

Quote:As it stands consciousness is a property of matter..
No it isn't. Consciousness is said to supervene from the Brain but it is not a material aspect of the Brain, and based on previous discussions you and others have conceded that consciousness clearly survives any detectable activity of the brain.
Yes it is. If it weren't, then how would we explain disorders of consciousness? Go read a book on cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience sometime.


Quote:Even if the Creation happened as a result of an unrational event there would still be something to credit.
Do you mean irrational event? And if so, what the hell are you even talking about?


Quote:If there were 200 assorted marbles in a box 50 red, 50 blue, 50 green and 50 black, and 199 of the marbles were removed, all of the red marbles were accounted for, all of the blue and the green, however only 49 of the black marbles were accounted for outside of the box..How many marbles are in the box and what color is it?
If I say 1 black marble is left inside the box do I win? Where are you going with this? >.>


Quote:If you find yourself asking "Well how do you know what a marble really is?
[Image: A.jpg]

A marble (toy); a small spherical toy that varies in size, usually made from glass, clay, steel, or agate.


Quote:What if one of the marbles wasn't really a marble at all but some alien construct which dissapeared while in the box, What if the Box has the ability to spontaneously generate new marbles?? If you do this..You are having a problem understanding how logic works.
No, if you start raving like this it demonstrates you don't know what a marble (toy) is, but the thought experiment doesn't hold water because nobody is that fucking stupid to not know what a freaking marble is.

What has ANY of this rambling of yours got to do with logic? Angry
