9inches:I have. Have you? |

9inches:Satan 'The Father of ATHEISM' {John 8:44,2Corinthians 4:4} has blinded them through the confused state of his complicated doctrines of various religious bodies so atheists now concludes "life has NO meaning" Psalms 10:4 They're SEEING virtuous and evil deeds,at the same time they're complaining BITTERLY about the killings,injustices,oppression and natural disaster that's claiming lives, therefore in their heart they're saying "if God truly exists, why all these?" But instead of seeking the answers to such life threatening questions, they've resolved "everything is meaningless". Psalms 14:1,2 Romans 1:20 1 Like

HellVictorinho:Listen to your answer. The purpose and meaning of your existence is because someone gave birth to you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qP2rLgrBtTI |

9inches: Don't be critically stupid!!!!!!! And you shouldn't ask me for the "meaning/purpose"of my existence.(stupid question) I only stated what CAUSED my existence!!! And every human being that lives tries to last on Earth for as long as possible by competing with other humans for the things nature provides(The characteristic of living things also shared by humans that is called COMPETITION). Once again, the correct/logical question should be "What is the purpose of the existence of the most complex specie known as MAN who has demonstrated a high level of intellect but hasn't shown to be completely different from other animals considering the similarity in their characteristics as living things which also involves DEATH due to the aging process.? |

MhizAngel99:Really? Prefacing your question with a lie is not a good way to start. You simply could've said you don't accept the answers (assuming you have truly searched for one). Then you could give reasons why you don't accept them or why they don't make sense to you. Why not start with an ordinary Google search and see how much you could get... then you could ask questions because for sure a lot of the responses you will get will not be the whole truth. Requirement: 1. Courage to dig for the truth. 2. Humility to accept it when you see it. What type of evidence do you need? Intellectual knowledge generally is the union between the intellect and an intelligible object. But a TRUTH is intelligible to us only in so far as it is evident to us, and evidence is of different kinds. Hence, according to the varying character of the evidence, we shall have varying kinds of knowledge. A. A truth may be self-evident e.g. the whole is greater than its part.... in which case we are said to have intuitive knowledge of it; or B. a truth may not be self-evident, but deducible from premises in which it is contained. Such knowledge is termed reasoned knowledge; or C. a truth may be neither self-evident nor deducible from premises in which it is contained, yet the intellect may be obliged to assent to it because It would else have to reject some other universally accepted truth; D. a truth may rest on grave authority, even though it might not be evident in itself. Here, the intellect may be induced to assent to a truth for none of the reasons in A, B and C. For example, we accept the statement that the sun is 90,000,000 miles distant from the earth because competent, veracious authorities vouch for the fact. This last kind of knowledge (D) is termed faith, and is clearly necessary in daily life. If the authority upon which we base our assent is human and therefore fallible, we have human and fallible faith; if the authority is Divine, we have Divine and infallible faith. That's how you should start approaching evidences so you don't limit yourself to only the truths you could see or perceive. |

9inches: "The Truth is a lie". And I hope you now understand what Biology is all about. |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by LordReed(m): 4:53pm On Jan 03, 2019 |
9inches: What a gross mischaracterization. We do not accept that the sun is 1AU away because scientists said so. We accept it because the methods they used are repeatable and the results can be verified by others. Don't equate our acceptance of scientific facts with your unfounded faith. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by 9inches(m): 11:42am On Jan 04, 2019 |
HellVictorinho: This observation is not the answer to the question of existence. So, what is the purpose of the existence of MAN (since you did't like how I previously phrased it)? |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by Nobody: 12:17pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
9inches: Okay, there is suffering in the world because humans are causing/allowing themselves to suffer. We have cars that make transportation easy and also make it easy for humans to inflict pain on themselves. And I have one question for you-Why can't you read and understand ? |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by 9inches(m): 12:25pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
HellVictorinho: Again, you are talking about causality. Please explain WHY there is suffering, not who is responsible for suffering. Thanks! |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by Nobody: 12:27pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
9inches: The Purpose of Man is a philosophical joke. The Purpose of Man as an expression of pre-determined absurdity is to prove that He has nothing to lose because he was never going to win. His Existence is a 'trick' unto him and this makes him to constantly display curiosity which is seen as normal due to his consciousness of the 'The Possibility of the Unknown'. Yet,this consciousness is nothing but a functional consequence of the 'The Possibility of his Existence'. 2 Likes |

HellVictorinho:I'm sorry I don't. Mind expatiating on that? |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by 9inches(m): 12:31pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
LordReed:Who are the "others"? Non scientists I'd guess? More than 70% of researchers who took part in a recent study published in Nature have tried and failed to replicate another scientist’s experiment. Another study found that at least 50% of life science research cannot be replicated. The same holds for 51% of economics papers. The findings of these studies resonate with the gut feeling of many in contemporary academia that a lot of published research findings may be false. Just like any other information source, academic journals may contain fake news. There are as well scientific facts that have been disproven over time. |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by Nobody: 12:35pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
9inches:Alright, I'm going to burst your bubble. Man is suffering because he is bound to suffer!!! This is what makes him an 'Expression of Predetermined Absurdity'. Philosophically,he is not just suffering. He is actually occurring in a manner that is determined by the functional consequences of the 'The Possibility of his Existence'. |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by LordReed(m): 12:46pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
9inches: Any other persons able to test and verify the results either professional scientists or amateurs so inclined. |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by Nobody: 1:08pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
9inches: Biology is all about the nature-possibility-study!!!!! The former statement is figurative. And I have explained why humans exist!!! |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by 9inches(m): 2:10pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
HellVictorinho: Man is bound to suffer 1. to what end, and 2. kindly throw more light on the "functional consequences" that determined man's existence. |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by Nobody: 2:20pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
9inches:To no end!!!! He is an 'Expression of Predetermined Absurdity'. He is on Earth, which is the 'Prison of Man'. And the 'Possibility of the Spirit Realm' is nothing but a 'declarification'. |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by 9inches(m): 2:20pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
LordReed:Are professional scientists or amateurs different from "scientists"? So, in essence, you were saying "We do not accept that the sun is 1AU away because scientists said so. We accept it because the methods they used are repeatable and the results can be verified by professional scientists or amateurs. Hmm |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by 9inches(m): 2:37pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
HellVictorinho: The functional consequences that determined man's existence also [pre]determined man's suffering to no end! I'm following. I'm sure you are working on second part of my question. And by the way, be free to point out any misrepresentation of what you say as I'm putting them all together. |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by Nobody: 2:37pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
9inches:The 'functional consequences' are the effects of the 'Possibility of Man's predetermined Existence', which was actualized during ANYTIME as part of 'The Forming of Existence'.. These effects characterized the manner in which The First Humans were formed (not created). |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by Nobody: 2:43pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
9inches:Check out the 'Explanation for Existence'. It's a topic I created. Read everything I posted including my reply to 'budaatum' on the 'Existential Constant'. |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by 9inches(m): 2:57pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
HellVictorinho: The effects of the 'Possibility of Man's predetermined Existence' can be called the 'Functional Consequences'. These effects (Functional Consequences) characterized the manner in which the first humans were formed and which predetermined man's suffering to no end! Possibility of Man's predetermined Existence ---> Functional Consequences ---> Man/suffering |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by Nobody: 3:13pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
9inches:Yes,Man is a Form of Existence. And he was never created. He was formed as result of certain occurrences/events that were bound to happen. |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by 9inches(m): 4:09pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
HellVictorinho: HellVictorinho:Hmmm, interesting! Please watch and respond/critic. I'd appreciate it. 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_Yjue8MXAI 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ak-riGdz-UM 3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvqWTx8ykzg |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by 9inches(m): 4:13pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
HellVictorinho:Describe those occurences/events. |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by LordReed(m): 4:14pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
9inches: Yeah because amateurs are not generally considered when talking about any endeavour; in sports, STEM, astronomy, etc. Nobody will call a person tinkering in their garage an engineer if he doesn't have any formal training or certification. So they are in a class of their own. |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by LordReed(m): 4:27pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
9inches: Exactly why those experiments need to be replicated and results verified. Its not every study, research or procedure that will pass the test. The sun distance measurement has been repeated in so many ways for about 400years, not something you will say nobody can replicate or verify. |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by 9inches(m): 4:33pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
LordReed:@bolded Right, because he is not an engineer. Formal training or certification would make him an engineer regardless if he is tinkering in his garage or in a Boeing hangar. "Amateurs are not generally considered when talking about any endeavour" but you just did them a great service by considering them. |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by 9inches(m): 4:35pm On Jan 04, 2019 |
LordReed:@bolded, That's exactly something I will say YOU cannot replicate or verify. |
