    Are All Events Predetermined By The Big Bang?

    In short, yes. We could never see the infinite variables, nor could we predict how they will interact, but things all already have a set path. Even these people with the innate ability to think past this, as you call it, would only be reinforcing it, as this ability was gained through the...

    How can anything come from nothing

    No,they do not. But anyway, this is getting off track. we were wondering if noting can exist,which it can't, as it's just the lack of something. It is nota noun, really.

    Is the Theory of Everything Incomplete Without Including God?

    Strange, i was always of the opinion that a Theory of Everything was a complete cosmological model. First off, you likely cannot properly describe to me your spiritual feelings, and not having felt them, I cannot understand what they are, or more importantly, what they might mean. The same...

    What makes a good monitor/mentor at PF?

    Y'know, I like you and all, but I have to say that you're the first name that came to mind. You have to admit that you hold on to your view of the world with a bit of an iron grip, Zero. I think the main problem is likely the conviction with which you hold most of your ideas. You're a great...

    What is the True Nature of Reality and its Impact on Mortality?

    in a word, no. There is reality, and there is what we observe. Our observations are based on our sences. We know that those sences can and often do lie to us. that is the objective, and the subjective. The truth, and what we construct from what we see and hear and feel. Whether or not the...

    The implications of Socratic inquiry: Do 'experts' really know nothing?

    I think it was mostly the fact that no one could describe what it was that motivated them. Generals knew not what bravery was, and judges did not understand justice. Priests, who center their lives, and their follower's lives, around a religion, cannot satisfactorily describe faith. most of the...

    How can anything come from nothing

    As far as I'm concerned, there are only two theories that make any possible sence. either something has always existed, or space and time just blinked into existence, which is the same thing. as far as creationism goes, god(s) is/are considered a thing/things, which means that nothingness did...

    Is money really the root of all evil?

    I think overall what is meant by "love of money is evil" is that many people will do anything for it, ignoring all else. People tend to think that if they were given millions of dollars, all their problems would be solved. Really, it isn't love of money, but love of power (which money...

    Is Killing Human Beings Wrong/Immoral?

    Yeah, i got that. what I'm saying is that the "laws of morality" or whatever, may state something that has absolutely nothing to do with human society. Also, while we still have no idea what it might be or how to go about finding it, we might as well be working by a no morality exists...

    High School What causes those reflecton pools on the road on a sunny day?

    Those reflections are also what have led mant a deser traveler to their doom. I wonder if the heat could take the reflection we see and add other halucinations to it to make it seem more believable.

    Is Killing Human Beings Wrong/Immoral?

    actually, I did read all 3 pages, and it seems that you guys are going on about an "absolute morality" that we have yet to discover. This had previously occurred to me, somewhat, but it had not occurred to me until reading this that if it exists, what we like to think of it as may have...
