Louis Caruana - Critical Realism in Science and Theology

[@jaquelinekaku1302]

Religion is literature, it belongs to the field of art .... Science has another social purpose.

[@chyfields]

No other species would consider humanity as having a positive impact on their lives That suggests that there is room for human improvement.

[@Resmith18SR]

Humans are the dominant species on Earth so our opinion and views of ourselves is all that really matters. Other living species don't even have the equivalent brain development and nervous system to form an opinion about positive or negative impact on themselves. It's a non sequitur that there's always room for improvement and always will be.

[@chester-chickfunt900]

Robert, if you want to make more progress on your quest then I recommend expanding the discussion to go beyond monotheism. Human cultures evolved with many deities, not just one. Of course, one deity makes it easier to tie religion together with governance. My life experiences and research suggest that Quantum Field Theory can be interwoven with Jung's Collective Unconscious. And what is Jung's Collective Unconscious but the voices of the gods. Plural. Just as the Quantum Fields contain many fundamental qualities, not just one.

[@chester-chickfunt900]

And I would argue that even Christianity is not monotheistic. Father, Son, Holy Ghost. Each with differing qualities. Magic makes them One.

[@michelangelope830]

Atheists talk about the Bible, but what is the point of debating if Jesus Christ resurrected when atheists don't accept God exists? Who or what is this God for the moment it doesn't matter. What is important is to determine with arguments if atheism is true or false. The only question atheists should be interested in and are not interested in is "does God exist?", that means "was the universe created from an intelligent entity?". You don't have to believe in God because God can not not exist because logically it is impossible the existence of the creation without the creator. Creation is what has a beginning of existence, like for example you, you didn't exist before you were born. The truth is atheism is a logical fallacy that assumes God is the religious idea of the creator of the creation to conclude wrongly no creator exists because a particular idea of God doesn’t exist. I will rephrase the atheist logical fallacy to facilitate the understanding. Atheism is a logical fallacy that assumes God is "sky daddy" to conclude wrongly no creator exists because "sky daddy" doesn't exist. I have explained a deception. To end the war the discovery that atheism is a logical fallacy has to be news. Thank you.

[@mabonbran8913]

Claiming god must exist is the sort of illogical fallacy put forward by an illogical phallus see!

[@heresa_notion_6831]

quote: The only question atheists should be interested in and are not interested in is "does God exist?", that means "was the universe created from an intelligent entity?". As an atheist, there's at least one "existence" proof of God that I fully accept, but I can't accept from that existence proof that God is necessarily a sentient and "intelligent entity". Still whatever the creative process there was that went from some kind of eternal grounding of existence to us, it (self-evidently) had the potential for sentience and intelligence, and that is still a pretty huge deal, imo. So I guess what I'm suggesting is that an atheist can believe in God (aka some kind of creative process) operating eternally, but non-sentiently; however, a conventional theist (must) believe in a God that is at minimum sentient and intelligent.

[@michelangelope830]

@@heresa_notion_6831 Listen, I need to get published that atheism is a logical fallacy. Nothing is lost publishing atheism is a logical fallacy that assumes God is the religious idea of the creator of the creation to conclude wrongly no creator exists because a particular idea of God doesn’t exist. I know what is atheism because atheists have explained it to me almost infinite times. I offer a different understanding of reality. Is not the end of religion what you want? I think God is simply everything that exist past present and future. It is just an idea that can not do harm to anyone. I am trying to overcome the most severe and devastating censorship in history trying to prove God exists fulfilling humanity's dream ending the war saving lives with knowledge. Logically it is impossible the existence of the creation without the creator. Logically what has a beginning of existence must be created from what is eternal. I need future generations to know the atheist logical fallacy because they would understand I am a good person among bad people. I am a psychologist and person of many talents, not a charlatan looking for attention. Thank you.

Lol! Illogical phallus, see! Not only illogical, but ego centric and self delusional... ha, ha, ha lol, rofl!!

[@kpllc4209]

​@@michelangelope830 " think God is simply everything that exist past present and future." What you described is called pantheism and Christianity rejects it completely. This was the basically the dominant belief of the classic Greek and Roman Civilization, their philosophies and mystery cults, and obviously inspired the writers of scripture. If you follow the logic of these ideas fully you basically are not much different from an atheist. As an example, the philosopher Spinoza who popularized "pantheism" during the enlightenment was labeled an atheist.

The Gen 1 character and the Gen 2 character are the exact same character (knowing good). 2. Zero is not fundamental and nonzero numbers are fundamental (Newton/Einstein calculus). 3. 0D is not locally real and 1D, 2D, 3D, 4D are locally real (Newton/Einstein physics). ⬆️ this is what we're all taught. Materialist/Empiricist version of reality.⬆️ ✅️Non-contradictory Theology, Mathematics and Physics (knowing good from evil; relations defined by constraints; limit is a separate operation)✅️: 1. The Gen 1 character and the Gen 2 character are polar opposite characters (knowing good from evil). 2. Zero is fundamental and nonzero numbers are not fundamental (Leibniz calculus). 3. 0D is locally real and 1D, 2D, 3D, 4D are not locally real (Leibniz physics). ⬆️ this is what quantum physics proved a year ago and if Theology doesn't match Math and Physics then you're doing it wrong. Realist version of reality.⬆️ [🦄Materialism/Empiricism💩 version of Religion]: Interpreting the Bible with the Gen 1 character and the Gen 2 character as the exact same character generates near 70,000 contradictions (see reason project graphics) and requires heavy apologetics. A Bible interpretation which includes near 70,000 contradictions (impossible to be true) is what a snake-oil salesman would sell you. 🐍 [🦤Materialism/Empiricism💩 version of Science]: The standard model of physics is Einstein's 3+1 space-time, which are considered locally real, where 0 is considered not locally real...been that way since Newton for zero vs nonzero numbers. Problem is...quantum physics proved the observable universe (1D, 2D, 3D and 4D) is actually not locally real... and that was over a year ago! 🦧 (Yes, Leibniz was correct after all and zero is "locally real"). locally real = more real (Leibniz said "necessary") not locally real = less real (Leibniz said "contingent") [Closing arguments]: The Materialism/Empiricism package contains within itself all the contradictions, false dichotomies, paradoxes and literally "life's biggest questions". It's been a year why is everyone still using logic, calculus and geometry that is contradictory at the most fundamental level? Legitimate question 🙋. If both Religion and Science removed their "Materialist/Empiricist-perspective shades 👓" (contradictory for a year) and put on their "Realist-perspective shades 👓" (non-contradictory for a year) they would not only cease to argue...they'd agree with each other. Imagine that.
