Philosophy - March 2007

It is a small world. I am referring to the small world effect. It is a theory that says that in an irregular network (like social structures) will have most if not all points effecting all other points simultaneously. Although this theory has not been proven as fact you just have to think about it for two seconds to see that there is something more to it.

So my question is, if we are all effecting each other constantly, are we not the ones (in at least some small part) forming what the world is today and what it will be tomorrow? And if that is so, do we not hold a responsibility to try and change our effect for the better?

Please answer only if you understand the question.

Thanks.

its called: "NEVER"....

Never say "i love you"
If you really dont care
Never talk about feelings
If they arent really there
Never hold my hand
If you are going to break my heart
Never say you are going to
If you dont plan to start
Never look into my eyes
If all you do is lie
Never say "hello"
If you really mean "good-bye"
If you really mean forever
Then say you will try
Never say "forever"
Cause forever makes me cry.

I see a lot of people labeling them as invalid arguments. (Teleological, Cosmelogical, Ontological)
Wouldn't this be seen as someones belief in God is greater and perhaps holds more weight than an a priori or an a posteriori argument proving his existence?
I guess I am asking what it would take to have an actual valid argument in the existence of God. I for one think William Paley's design theory is somewhat valid when you look at it in a simple, broad approach. By the way, aren't complex problems nothing more then numerous simple ones? Could we not apply them to proving the existence of God?
Thanks.

1) how is it not real if you perceive? in order to perceive you would have to have a mechaniism physical or no in order to perceive.

2) if only you exist you would be god. but then how did the self come into existence?

3) your thoughts are formulated by language, and language is based on prefeixes to suurrounding in the illusion and roots of words pertaining to an illusion. so then that would mean that your thoughts are false because the meanings to them cant exist. and any idea cannot make sense.

4) one can not even conceive of an illusion without having prior reference to things. it like trying to think up of a new color.

5) its impossible to come up with a private language let alone a universal language. wittgensteins private language arguement

so how is it that the beleif of life being an illusion be irrefutable? how is there any basis of a possiblity in which you can beleive that life is in fact an illusion?

I look at the Bible as a book just like any other fiction book.

It is one of the greatest storys ever created telling of the creation of the world by a supreme being that it calls "God". He created all of what is in the universe, etc. It goes in to Jesus Christ and God in profound detail which makes the stories and ideas of the book extremely believable.

However, above all, the Bible is no more than a remarkebly well structured story. There is no other solid evidence outside the pages of the book of the presence of God. Jesus Christ may very well have walked the Earth changing the lives of others around him with his oustanding insights and also have died for "our sins" but Jesus Christ himself is no evidence of God's presence. He may have been the prophet of Christianity but is there any true proof of that besides the Bible that he was sent by God?

With only best intentions, I truly do not see why God can be real.

I was thinking about people such as Martin Luther King, Gandhi, El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz (Malcolm X), Langston Hughes, Einstein, Voltaire, Descartes and innumerable others. I just feel that there is a lack of strong leadership in the world today and I don't know what to attribute it to. I mean where are the people that help move the world towards good, fight injustices, and usher in new ways of thought.
