Is the Spirit empty space?!?!?

Tyler:

Mmmm, I love a man who knows his science history. ;)

Nelson, dear, did you hear what Tyler just said?

Taoism is not a Religion...

I bow to your knowledge of the subject, I have never studied it.

And with logic , that you love so much, you can ealily understand it...

And prove it?
 
Tyler and Xev,

Tao is not proven fact Nelson. It's a belief and a faith.
It's a Philosophy... and it explains things very well...

Nelson, dear, did you hear what Tyler just said?
Yeah...
I admit... I've never seen that before, anyways...

Anyone never talked about a "Eratosthenes"... I've heard about a "Copernicus", "Galileo", but never "Eratosthenes"... ;)


""The Greek philosopher Eratosthenes..."

See the word philosopher there...? :D:D:D:D:D

Taoism is a Philosophy as well... ;)

Love,
Nelson

That don't make it proven.

A good book: Timothy Ferris' 'Coming of Age in the Milky Way'.

See the word philosopher there...?

He was a philosopher and scientist - he lived before science had been created. What has that to do with Daoism?
 
Taoism started as a combination of psychology and philosophy but evolved into a religious faith in 440 CE when it was adopted as a state religion. At that time Lao-Tse became popularly venerated as a deity. Taoism, along with Buddhism and Confucianism, became one of the three great religions of China.

Nifty.

Well there we go. It's a religion, and it's not a science, and it's not proven. The only prediction, 'chi', can be shown to not exist.
 
Xev,

First: I studied the Taoism Philosophy...

Second: what the heck is "nifty"...? :bugeye:

Love,
Nelson
 
I studied the Taoism Philosophy...

Second: what the heck is "nifty"...?
