Why do you hate Descartes?BearsWiin said:And I don't know that we have a soul. We are meat sacks, supporting a marginally self-aware nerve bundle that is tasked with propelling our DNA into the future. That marginally self-aware nerve bundle is packed with basic instructions and the potential for shell programs to be laid on top, largely determined by the DNA that it inherited from its parents, but soul? Something that exists outside the physical realm? I don't see it. Do people with dementia or Alzheimers have an eternal soul that remains intact while their brains and cognitive abilities erode? Do schizophrenics have multiple souls? What about elephants and whales, whose brains are larger and possibly more complex than ours, but they don't have opposable thumbs and a language that we recognize? It would seem to me that if you believe in the concept of a soul, you pretty much have to believe in a God of some sort.

I just realized something: I already knew you were stupid. So never mind.doogie said:"If you went for a walk in the woods, but then decided to wander off the path, and found yourself surrounded by a thicket of thorns and poison ivy, who would you blame? Would you blame the person who built the path? No, of course not. Instead you’d blame yourself if you were honest, because you alone were responsible for wandering from the path.
In a far deeper way, this is what happens when we decide to leave God out of our lives. For a time, it may seem like wandering away from Him doesn’t make any difference; it may even seem easier and freer. But eventually it catches up with us—just as wandering off that path and into the thicket caught up with you." —Billy Graham #BG100 -
No "they" didn't.PurpleThrobber said:To the Throbber's way of thinking, it takes way more faith to definitely dismiss the existence of a higher power than to contemplate the possible existence thereof.
Science and shit is pretty persuasive - but even those fuckers thought the world was flat and the sun revolved around the Earth's position as the center of the universe for centuries....
The Throbber actually believes there's a bit of science and a bit of spirituality that got us to this fucked up place in history. And generally give zero fucks to plant the flag in either camp in order to change someone else's mind.
So, in other words, FYFMFE.
All men fell into one of two types. The first is the guy who ran scared from thunder because he thought Zeus was pissed. Let's call him "Billy". The second is the guy who cooked up geometry in the sand with a stick. Let's call him "Euclid".
Euclid was a scientist.
Billy was an ill-informed, uneducated banana. -
I love science and math. In particular math. If I hadn't been such a fuck up in school I would have been good at it I found out later in life. Lots of math and formulas in construction.
I find comfort in numbers for some reason.
Never had an issue with science and faith.

When I was a youngster I wanted to be a structural engineer and build suspension bridges. The I learned maff was involved. Maff is hard so I went in a different direction. Now I am poor and block Creep on the free ways with my shitty, 12 year old SUV.
