Philosophy - June 2006

These are examples of the proposed classfication of the kinds of theories I think exist:
Evolutionary theory is an inductive theory based on inference from the facts/empirical data gathered & interpreted by scientists by applying the scientific method which assumes the natural world we live in operates following deterministic rules..

Intelligent Design Argument is a combination of the speculative, inductive&deductive kinds of theories. Inductive&deductive bec it is based on inferences fm empirical data gathered by scientists interpreted from a biblical point of view which assumes or presupposes that a creator god exists & that the world we live in operates based on god's will. It is a philosophically speculative theory with a long history that goes back to Aristotle who thinking on metaphysic matters logically deduced the existence of a prime mover or First Cause fm first principles like "every event has a cause", etc
Math theory is deductive bec it deduces theorems from axioms.

Poe wrote:
"All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream"

What did he mean by that?

Here is the fully stated question which could not fit the "Enter your question" box.

Does it make sense to anyone else to divide the logic of thinking correctly into two categories (1)thinking by inductions from empirical data to data generalizations and (2)thinking by deductions from principles to particulars or premises to particular or universal conclusions.

Do you think you will stand in front of God while he reviews you sins and then in the end you are asked if you repent or not?

Or it's more like a free "phylosophical" debate with God on the "good and bad theme".

Is God interested in your opinion about things?

Almost from the time man appeared on the earth thinkers, philosophers, prophets,religions,and human lovers have been seeking ,talking and looking for justice. Laws are made and courts invented, lawyers have studied to achieve justice,but as you may agree with me,achieving justice is becoming unaccessible in our modern world. I will be happy and thankful to have your idea about this critical problem.The rulers and governments(most of them) are deceiving nations,specially the public.when will this end?

Have you ever thought about it? What do you think is the reason for living, breathing and just being? What is your purpose in life?
