I'm a senior in high school and I'm thinking about going into astronomy or astrophysics as a major. I have a 4.0 GPA and a 1350 on the SAT so I don't think I'm going to get into any upper level ivy leagues, but I was just wondering about some colleges that offer astronomy or astrophysics. A...
Well it's my senior year and I was pretty set on being an engineer. But an engineering student came in and talked to us about what it is like. He said that it was nothing like what he imagined; he became an engineer because he wanted to be active doing things and creating things. He said that...
This is a cool riddle of logic that I heard recently. It is supposed to be drawn out so I'll try to describe it as best as I can.
Four prisoners of war are sentenced to death by firing squad. They line them up from north to south, all of them facing north (so that they are in line facing...
Your description of your childhood mindset is parallel to mine. One thing that always frustrated me throughout my life was the fact that everyone accepts their existence so easily. I have always been one who asks questions and has an overall "unbiased" form of reasoning so it always infuriated...
Good point. I guess one could state that EVERYONE has selfish motives, but it is how you go about these motives that defines what your right and wrong are.

i apologize if my terminology is not correct because I am kind of new to this theology stuff.
I know there is a theory, I'm not sure if it's chaos theory, that states that all things move toward disorganization or chaos rather than organization. This seems to be true in the broad sense of...
An omniscient being does not disprove free will. It exists in the sense that we can never know what event 'A' will be; therefore, we cannot change it. We can choose whatever we want, the omniscient being would determine event 'A' based on what we choose. The omniscient being would have to...
I don't think you'll find any proof of anything, it all really depends on religious preferences. In a physical world determinism seems logical because every action has a specific reaction. No one action can have multiple outcomes. One could also say that the "human" or "God" element of choice...
In my opinion, I believe that the choice you made is the only possible choice you could have made. If you think about it, since the beginning of time everything has been reacting predictably and as a result of physics. Physics dictates everything that happens, so how could you possibly have...
