The things we say don't necessarily reflect our beliefs, and may be nothing more than idioms or turns of phrase. Once I lived in a flat where the door knob stuck out, into the doorway. As I went through the doorway, it would often jab me in the arm. I'd yell out to the knob: "Stupid f*****g...

I cannot conceive of nothing. It seems that for there to be nothing, then you need something to put it in. Our experience of nothing, is non-existent - it is beyond our capacity to imagine, ( my capacity at least ). It seems sensible to say that there has always been something - and what a deep...

Does this guy say what theory does mean? The problem is that theory has several meanings - the one you have given, and more:- Of course when we speak of the Theory of Evolution, we mean in the scientific sense, ie. it's a big 'T' Theory. Richard Dawkins has suggested that science should adopt a...

Re: Christian apologetics: the marriage of evil and free wil It is just as wrong then, to say that we can know the mind of this presumed "God", when justifying its need to permit evil, in order for good to also exist as an option of freewill. In other words, how can the religious say that "God"...

When I encounter the term Darwinism, I think: 'Neo-Darwinism', which has a lot more to it than Darwin himself had been able to expalin, and yet it is solidly founded on Darwin's original idea of genetic variation, and selection. Darwin didn't know how this happened at the cellular level - DNA...

Surely the laws of logic are derived by observing the real world, and writing down what we observe to be true, and logical. In any formalised sense, the laws of logic only exist inside brains. Sure, before mankind existed, one planet plus one planet meant two planets, but without any brains...

I don't know if this video by Dan Dennet would be of any interest to you. I found it to be of interest to me:-

There is a difference between ' belief that there is no [ . . . ] god ' and ' non-belief that there is a [ . . . ] god ' : ( [ . . . ] = fill in whatever type of god you wish). I certainly don't believe that there is a deistic god, but that position is one that is open to change. But even...

Also ask questions, hear the answers, and respond to the answers. Ask for justifications, evidence etc. with regard to the answers given. Then state your own point of view, with its own justifications, evidence etc. Perhaps a primary methodology of question asking will help avoid...

I think that you can irrationally say that you are going to start believing - mainly because you want to. I think the religious would call it: 'Opening your heart!' Then you indulge in a process of indoctrination and self-indoctrination which over time leads you to believe in "God" - you...
