Will Due Posted February 6, 2019 Author #77 Share Posted February 6, 2019 3 minutes ago, psyche101 said: There isn't Will. There is evidence that the human construct of a creator is completely wrong. Your personal evidence is what you want it to be. It's not valid in the real world. There's no handbook for life. People get by how they can. Your preaching strikes me as immature. Your describing yourself Will. You refuse to understand how discovery and observation offered better answers than making crap up and pretending its real. There's just no good reason to accept that the idea of God is valid. Your just convincing yourself that such exists be refusing to grow in knowledge and as a person. You're stuck in a religious rut. Psyche, I'm not gonna go down that dirt road with you again. Not after our last conversations which I happened to like. It's your prerogative to think I'm stuck in a rut if you'd like. But I'm just not going to pretend I know everything there is to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will I agree, it's a shame you seem to have fallen so quickly back into your old format. That's exactly what you are doing. You are pretending that you know a god exists You are pretending that you know his will You are pretending that the universe has a centre and all observation to the contrary is wrong You have even been arguing in favour of the Atlantis myth being real! You are pretending you know Will. Problem is we know better thanks to the efforts of our finest minds and great pioneers. There are things we do know. There's no reason to think that it is all wrong or will be completely rewritten. That doesn't mean we know everything but it also doesnt support the God idea, or indicate what we do know is wrong. The rut you are in is the one trodden by the above actions that have hobbled you from accepting and understanding modern discoveries that refute your personal musings. You can't ever grow like that Will, but you're saying that growth is the key. Your posting is contradictory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psyche101 Posted February 6, 2019 #83 Share Posted February 6, 2019 2 hours ago, Will Due said: Not imposed to. Imposed on. Better to have said superimpose. Superimpose your will on God's will. Make your will the same as God's will. Here's a sophomoric example. Take a toddler. His mom or dad says to him "I want you to stop picking your nose." The toddler then decides to comply. He superimposes his will to the will of his parents. That's what this thread topic is about. That's what OBL did isn’t it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if that's the case, why wouldn't you think that coming after me as if I have commited some atrocious sin in your eyes, isn't just something that seems right for you to do and preach to me, while at the same time, it may not be right to do at all in actuality?

The religious support you regularly propose is an attack on logic and common sense. Is that a sin? I don't know, but I know bad information should be challenged. I'm not doing what seems right Will. Observation, prediction and repetition proves the information is right. You can't point at a fictional centre of the universe but I can tell you where to find the centre of our glalxy, what time the sun will rise and where to look in the sky to see the other planets of our solar system. That all is 'right' Will, and it's all easily confirmed. That means it is 'actually right' . If you could have supported your statements then they would be actually right. You cannot and the information provided which is 'actually right' refutes the personal ideas you preach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Its not God's will. That's something you made up to support what you preach from the UB. 1 minute ago, Will Due said: Doesn't mean the universe doesn't have a center. What does mean the universe doesn't have a centre is the universe itself in motion. Observations show there is no such thing. A centre is a concept some visualise with due to our limited experiences. Its wrong. Doesn't exist. That artists conception can't work how it is presented. This is where most people step out of belief and into spirituality. When religious ideas and dogma are so wrong, they cannot be reconciled, so most invent a new view of spirituality or use extended metaphors to reconcile vast discrepancies in their own minds. The only ones they are fooling are themselves. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all due respect, many such opportunities have been placed before you to no avail. Gauss discovered at the beginning of the 19th century that the properties of space such as curvature can be described in terms of intrinsic quantities that can be measured without needing to think about what it is curving in. So space can be curved without there being any other dimensions "outside". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only adds to it. Yes I noticed this debate in another, now closed, thread. if the universe speaks to you, it is like a parent giving advice You have the free will to agree or disagree, and act as you choose, even knowing that difernt outcomes will result form different choices and tha the universe is older and wiser than you, and thus provides better choices 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
