Evidence for God from Science

However, I've never been convinced that any type of fantasy, especially when it is in the realm of fiction, is bad. Let's take sexual predators. How many sexual predators do you think started without first creating a fantasy world in which they acted out their behaviors? Also, do you think Hitler w...

I was brought up with violent cartoons, love kung fu flicks and samurai blood baths, have been doing MA since I was 9 ( I'm gonna be 43 this year), violence has been a part of my life since I was a kid ( worked as a doorman, served as a peackeeper) and I am not a violent person, dislike violence an...

I said the moral order is played out in society, and that just in virtue of what morality is. That doesn't mean that society determines morality. It just means that where there is no society, there is no such thing as morality (sort of like if there is no universe, there is such thing as physics). ...

There is indeed a difference. For one, sex can be used for many things, fun, torture(rape), fetish (BDSM), love, but in all of this the designed function of sex remains the same, and that Jac pointed out correctly, is to reproduce. You can use the baseball bat to drive a nail in the wood, or hit so...

I did some extensive Googling on Russell's Paradox and was interested enough to invest several hours reading up on it. Glad you brought it up. C:

No, cuz and children and sterile persons have in common that they're both unable to sexually reproduce this is beyond the argument, this is introducing something in the argument which the statement is not even aimed at. There is a big difference. There are tons of non-common things between children...

Lol. divine...dont make wrong jumps. :) In your own words, now you are not attacking the argument but the principle behind it. Suddenly children and sterile persons are equal. If you ask Jac to stick to the rules, so should you. ;) Nice try, Neo, but I was attacking his argument. His argument was t...

With all this in mind, revisit the notion of fantasizing about children. Now, it is evident that the biological purpose of sex is reproduction. There may be other benefits that come with it (e.g., it's fun), but what it is for is reproduction. So it's immoral for me to have sex with a sterile perso...

With regard to your example of homosexuality, I would emphasize that I am appealing to intrinsic order, not to imposed order. The former is a natural constituency of the thing itself; the latter is a psychological property applied to the thing by the human mind and not really a part of the thing it...

I am not legally equating fantasising with the act of doing it, so no it would not be reasonable to preemptive arresting. I am saying that fantasising can be a precursor to committing the act and I think it is a dangerous road to go down for yourself and possibly others. . . . I am not saying all p...

A system left to itself tends towards disorder, according to the Second Law of Thermodynamics; and if such a system tends towards disorder, it will be more disorderly in the future. Therefore what is now considered to be the "natural order" will not be the "natural order" in the...

There might be other factors at play other than porn legalisation like social, religious, education and even environmental. The fact remains that the majority of offenders fantasise before their action. Dan So if someone is fantasizing about having sex with a child, would it be reasonable, then, to...

Something is wrong (morally speaking) if it deviates from the moral order of the universe . Notice that I am appealing to something outside of the mind here. I am presuming that there is an order to the universe. There is obviously a physical order. I am suggesting that just as there is a physical ...

Also: Since our fantasies are fictitious and only have representations of others at best, is it morally acceptable by Christian standards for a fantasy to involve a member of the same sex, a very young child, etc.? After all, the fantasy is only imagined and will not necessarily be acted upon, so m...

Is it possible for God Himself be considered a property? If God were , somehow, the uncreated property "able to create", then He wouldn't have had to create "able to create" or "able to create able to create"; and it also wouldn't be necessary to attribute any propertie...
