It's common to think this is something that makes the difference between health and insanity. Take some time and figure out how are you personally making this difference.

I've heard this as part of a quote from some columnist but I'm pretty sure I've read it elsewhere.

Deos anyone know who else has written about explaining the known with the unknown (which seems to me like a basic procedure of science)

If you were told that you are going to loose your memory but you have the chance to pick only one solid memory (any kind of event etc.) which you will remember and forget everything else, what would that memory be ?

Think: You will remember nothing except for that one memory. You will remember no one except for the people in that specific memory.

To answer this question you will have to think who are the people you care about most, the ones you are willing to forget everyone else for. The memory you would never replace for anything in this world.

This has now been disproved, but it was interesting when it was believed to be undeniable...

Thought Exists,

Therefore existance exists for thought to exist in,

If thought were the only thing that existed in the universe, it would be infinite in parameters, otherwise there would be something that existed outside of it and there would be more than just thought that existed.

If there was more than just thought in the universe, thought would take up a fraction of an infinite space... anything divided by infinity is zero, and therefore nothing would exist.

Therefore, only one thing exists in the whole of the universe, and that is thought.

Have fun...

One of the conditions of knowledge is that you believe it... so is it possible that one of the conditions of belief is to know it to be true?

According to the tri-partite definition of knowledge, it is comprised of justified, true belief. But can you believe something whilst still doubting it? Philosophers don't believe that the table they are leaning on is there... but they continue to lean on it nonetheless...

I thought that coming here would help enlighten me concerning debate of deity. Unfortunately, the only theists that participate come from a single religion resulting in a lack of diversity in the theist camp. This is not their fault, obviously, but a pantheist or two would be refreshing. Where is the attempt at substantial discourse? Each side throws insults, shifts blame, conjures irrelevant histories, quotes texts that are unread by the opposition, uses logical fallicies in their diatribes, refuses to stay on topic, complains about each others power or lack thereof, avoids exploration of a consensus regarding moral and ethical principals, and cannot seem to actually discuss the opposition's conspiracy theories. There is a lot of fear, anger and rage in this "debate". I am aware that resistance to ignorant and dangerous philosophies is important. But is this business a conversation? Is this debate a war or a nursery?

say someone discovers *irrefutable* proof that the earth was made or that there is a god or not.....proof that explains how we got here and what happens after death and whats in the rest of the universe. i mean if the mystery is solved and it can't be denied....so how do you think the world would react? would there be wars, attempts to deny it, world peace????

before we commit sin either by compulsive reaction or deliberate, do we actually have a chance to think it over? Why is the old proverbial clause 'we take responsible for own action' so well overrated and overused same as the 90-10 principle?
