Argument against atheism
RE: Argument against atheism
No. What your argument is is a cum-shot of philosophical bollocks which equates to bugger all.

RE: Argument against atheism
I'm not getting tripped up by anything. I'm real and I can prove it. End of story.

It really is that simple.

Added to NAC database.

You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

Ha I didn't mean to post any of that
I think I get what you are saying Norfolk. You are real. And you can prove it. Really. Because some things are real and some are not. And you are real. And there are a lot of other real things which prove you are real also.

Is that what you are saying? If so know that you and I are completely on the same page.

The argument then turns on whether or not the self actually exists which you claim is evidenced by the fact that you are able to perceive feelings and physical things.

What my argument is is that in order for any of the physical objects we observe or our feelings to be trusted as actually existing we must have implicit trust in the accuracy and truth of our consciousness.

Are you implying that the slightness, logic, reason and science are limited by "physical"?

If this were not the case then there would be no basis to believe our observations true outside of subjective perception.
In other words, Faith?

In order for consciousness to prove it's own existence (at least as far as humans can understand how things can be proven outside of pure thought) it would need to manifest itself physically (the physical universe).
It'd be interesting experiment, but....

The problem is credibility of thiests' central belief of god based on certain book [Bible or Koran or Qu'ran or the book of Jehovah's witness or whatever].

Thus evolution brings about 'better' things. But the idea of procreation is one which I should address further as well.

Also important that there be sufficient variation in the population. Evolution works better in larger numbers, because there is more chance someone hits the jackpot if there are more people playing.

I feel the need to expand on this a bit while I sip my morning coffee. If you have no interest in learning more about evolution, feel free to ignore. I happen to think it is one of the most intriguing subjects one can study, but I may be severely professionally biased.

The size of the population is very important to evolution.

It increases the chances of successful coupling. What if the only two people on the world don't like each other? What if they are both men? What if they are on different continents. No babies, no evolution.

It reduces the effect of regressive mutations. Mutation is random. Bodies are complex. It's akin to hitting your car with a sledgehammer. A random change has a small chance of improving some small part of the machine, but a fairly large chance of breaking everything and stopping it from working altogether. Evolution of the species is paid for in many, many unborn babies.

It increases variation in the population. Contrary to what some authors have claimed, not all pigs are equal; they are all slightly different. Children are not only dstinct from their parents because of mutation, but also because they are a recombination of two different individuals. The more individuals in the population there are, the more evolution can experiment with recombining existing features.

There's probably more, but my coffee is cold now. Better brew some more.
