A greater degree of perfection does not require greater physical composition - rearrangement of existing material is more than enough. As a matter of fact, I'd say that to create something better, you must use less than what you have. Which is why my laptop is better than the 1950's computer.

It contained the blueprint of all substance. If you didn't have the potential to absorb information and use it, then you wouldn't absorb or use it.(October 12, 2014 at 9:43 am)fr0d0 Wrote: Everything in it, and anything it has the potential to create. The singularity contained the potential for the entire possible content of the universe. It was potentiality.
Potentiality is not information. I have the potential to solve the mysteries of quantum physic, that doesn't mean I already have the information required to do so.

Any one persons success or failure to achieve an objective state of mind has little bearing on the idea. For example, I might agree that charging my phone every day is a good idea. When I don't charge my phone, and my battery dies, is the idea then bad? No, it's my own personal failure that's to blame.(October 12, 2014 at 9:43 am)fr0d0 Wrote: With both we're talking potential. You're moving away from philosophy to practical application, which doesn't help crystalise the idea for you, but confuses it.
Its the opposite, actually. Ivory-tower philosophy with no practical application is meaningless. The practical application of an idea is what crystalizes it.
Q: is a life superior that adopts the philosophy? A: If it's applied, yes. If it isn't, no. As far as a person manages to maintain a focus on a just reality, their resulting quality of life will logically have to be better.
My perspective is different > my moral understanding is different > my quality of life is different.

If they can't know that they have it, then they can't know that their judgments are correct.
Don't evade the question. Your ignorance of how humans can have sufficient knowledge and how they can know if they do is not evidence that they can't have sufficient knowledge. Once again, argument from ignorance doesn't justify shifting the burden of proof.

Humans have been living in conflict with nature for centuries now, without suffering mentally or physically.

An we bring fairness to it - thus making a fuller life than one with faith.

But then how we perceive reality is shaped by our understanding. Our beliefs. Our perception and it's impact upon our lives is the only subject here.(October 12, 2014 at 9:43 am)fr0d0 Wrote: Sans faith. Sure.Your faith doesn't change reality - merely your perception of it. Reality would be just or unjust regardless of your belief in it. Now, if you have some actual evidence to show a just reality, put it forward.
