You guys are getting much more depressed than you need to be. There is no evidence that we don't have some measure of freewill, and plenty of good...
It seems that phsyical determinism is unfalsifiable. However freewill is also unfalsifiable. This suggests to me that we are in a muddle about this...
How about motion?
paulsamuel - Thanks. I must say the biological definition of race seems about as arbitrary as any other. However I see what you're saying, and will...
Yeah, it's great. Gives one hope for the species. Thanks for the link, I didn't look properly the first time.
Does this mean 'race' has no meaning anymore? Also does "a genetically distinct monophyletic lineage" signify a sub-species unless it prevents...
There is no answer. As I understand it this is the paradox that brought Russell and Whitehead's grand mathematical system tumbling down. It's the...

When is this supposed to occur, or is it just an ongoing process?
I'm not sure I see your point. We know that black people are different to white people, they have different colour skins for a start. But how is one...
Yeah sorry - I think I posted out of sync anyway. My display has changed for some reason.
Buddhism is not strictly a religion, so it may be best to pick some other doctrine to write about for your essay. The Einstein quote from...
Thanks, but I couldn't see where it answers my question.
Seems to me you missed Dr. Lou's point, which was that there is more to differences between human groups than their biology.
Do some research, for goodness sake.
It may be seen incorrectly as that, yes. Pointless? Who says? Nobody rejected anything and it's not that simple. I'm afraid this is not the...
Well I don't know Zoroastianism at all, or Taoism well, but I think what Buddhists say is true. Don't confuse all those gods with the western kind....
Yes. The theory is incomplete and self-fulfilling. Our behaviour is determined by our beliefs according to philosophers. In western societies we...
