How and how can this be verified in some manner. What you are describing so far seems like a problem in the temporal lobe. As an actual being, I can give you knowledge you don't have. I can do things independent of you. I can go to some one else and interact with them. There are ways of establishing my presence. Can you have the non physical beings come by?
so because you can not define god in a physical sense, you deny the possibility of him? if science adopted that philosophy it would have come to a screeching halt before it ever began.
Science started as investigation into phenomena that we can experience directly: i.e. physical things.
we are spiritual beings. if you're limiting your understanding of life to what is investigated in a lab, then you're naive.
Another supposition. Based on you knowing nothing about me, my life or my experiences. Personal experiences remain personal and subjective, not evidence.
Some spiritual beings I've experienced have been human. Some made it a point to let me know they were not human. And in regards to god, I certainly can't define it, but it all made sense. It all had meaning. To the tiniest of detail. The things so sorted, so seemingly random came together to have the most profound meaning. And I examined myself. And in myself I found god, and in god I found myself, and I found freedom. Sometimes I feel like I live in a world full of zombies. And sometimes I feel like I live in a world of people who are trapped in cages. And I see the pain on their faces. And sometimes I feel that cage around me. And god has blown my cage open. And I want to blow all of the cages sky high. To bits.
there's the request for evidence there's the indication of a "knower" the validity of a claim of evidence by a person who "knows" is tested at the point of methodology If your demand is "I want to know but I don't want to apply myself" you place yourself in an epistemological paradox. It doesn't matter whether we are discussing the soul or the price of eggs in china :shrug:
I'm open minded enough to give you a chance to make good on your claims and curious enough about the world to see what happens. It is unfortunate that all you offer is empty talk.
I don't think you have. I don't think you would recognize a reall god if he bit you on the ass. I think you just worship your fantasies of god. I'm not impressed with the results. So far all I have from you are empty claims.
actually all I have seen from you is an insistence that the answer be in line with your preconceived notions IOW you haven't moved a millimeter in the direction of methodology :shrug:
Sure it matters. One is real and can be found out. Here you go.... here in hunan province we pay .35 yuan for one egg. thats a bit less than 4 pennies for one fresh egg. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=1006042204848 The other is not and all I get from you is worthless evasions, not even semi interesting ones. At least lori's evasions seem heart felt. You seem totally devoid of faith or heart. I'm just glad you are a theist. It would be embarrassing to have you an atheist.
