I wasn't arguing that point. I agree with all of this above. My basic point was that you cannot use such ordering from chaos to support an argument...
I would like to address this objection. You assert that galaxies were ordered from a random (chaotic) collection of stars, and that this is proof of...
Out of curiosity, how much of Bohm's theory do you subscribe to?
Thank you for the links, I'm reviewing them now.
I'll try to track it down. Thank you for the suggestion!
This is dubious. You may have good reason for proposing this, but I don't think you could substantiate this claim as certain. Maybe I'm wrong about,...
Except that this can't even be tested. The origin of human belief in god(s) predates recorded human history. Thus, we have no way to determine,...
Alternatively, memories are much more vivid when they are attached to strong emotions. So, given the closeness to death they are in, I would suggest...
This begs the question of whether order may even proceed from chaos. Moreover, it sounds like you're suggesting that implicate order can exist in...
Alright, I think I've chewed on this long enough. If all we're talking about are perceptions, then causation doesn't have to be important. But the...
This is mostly true. The problem sits in the last paragraph. If this is true, that time must have always been present and there cannot have ever been...
This is really good stuff right here. I'll have to chew on this for a while. Thank you. This argument is invalid because (d) doesn't follow from...
Sarkus has it right, that is what I'm saying. My position is that there's no such thing as purely spontaneous phenomena. We have no reason to posit...
.
That was actually only a side-point for me. I didn't respond to your argument because I accept the validity of it. My main concern is the assertion...
Actually, I agree with this, and hold this position.
Even if Heisenberg is right (and I'm not putting that to doubt), there is still the question of the nature of wavefunction collapse as a fundamental...
This isn't really much different than Anselm's cosmological argument for God, which is a really bad argument. Just because you can imagine that a...
I've always disputed this position. In the quantum world, things appear to happen spontaneously. Remember also that the vacuums we create for these...
This question can be answered in a few different ways. First, we may ask the question of the origin of prayer, in general. Second, we may ask the...
