Philosophy - August 2007

Nothing will be You if You cannot be thought as "part, whole, equivalence, uniqueness, link, limit, influence, sensation, origin, derivative, rule, condition, intent, and fulfillment."

I want to rephrase this statement in the context of http://wwf.totalh.com/tp/predictor.php

I want ot replace the term "nothing" with a suitable term.
I need your help in fixing this.

If I were to say to you, You're a Christian!

How insulted would you feel?

But if I were to say instead to you, You're a Jew!

How insulted would you feel?

And to whom does the fault belong to for you to feel as you do?

subjects, sciences for which they have found an explanation which satisfies them?
Does this mean that what they have not managed to explain is discarded as not existing, or just a load of misguided rubbish?
If that was so, what would happen to Light, Human Emotions, Love, Telepathy, etc., etc., besides so much knowlege, not easily explained scientifically, that has been passed down to us through Mythology, and has served as a valid guide for Humans over thousands of years ?
And might it also mean that as a result Scientists would soon be out of a job due to there being nothing valid left for them to explore?
Therefore don`t you think it might be wise for Scientists to try to be a little more open-minded?

Greek sculpture and many modern images are false and not to the real dimensions of the human body (angle of face, length of leg, etc).

Thinking of some of the greatest recognised people in the world, many of them had some kind of outstanding mental disturbance, for want of a better term. What mad them brilliant instead of just plain crazy?

My wife and I are currently working hard on a book that is more of an investigative reporting than anything else.
Five black people in east Knoxville raped and murdered two privledged white kids from west Knoxville back in January 2007.

Since then there have been so many rumors, protests, horrible reporting, lack of national media-attention, public anger, sadness & speculation that the entire subject warrents setting the record straight from beginning to end.

Our plans are to take the reader on a step by step account of EVERYTHING - including interviews with the suspects, interviews with the suspects family, friends and employers, interviews with the victim's family members, friends, employers, etc...

My question is
(Since this happened 8 months ago) does anyone give a damn? Would anyone buy the book? With so much garbage happening in the world today, would anyone take the time to dig into this story with us?

Music needs air to exist and travel. In space/vacuum there cant be any music/sound waves.
Similarly all objects are made up of various materials. Door from wood, tumbler from glass, toy from plastic etc. also various materials are made up of various molecules.
Light is made up of photons.
Animals and creatures are made up flesh & bones.
Etc.

However, every person is always thinking various thoughts. Some times he is thinking of music he heard before & enjoys its playback in mind. Some other time he is thinking of various objects , people, food etc.
Now the question is what these mental objects are made up of.
You can measure the properties of real objects but how do we measure properties of mental objects in thoughts.
On what ground these mental objects exist? Some one will say MIND but we dont see nor we can handle mind as a measurable object. By the existance of thoughts only we can imagine existence of mind. So how do we go about controlling the existence of mental objects?

Ok, this is related to the age-old question of how this Universe began. Nowadays, we have the Big-Bang theory, the Unified Field Theory and all the Grand Unified Field Theories to explain how this Universe evolved from the Big Bang. But isn't there Conversation of Mass and Conversation of Energy. Then what came before the Big Bang. Did it all just sprouted from nothing. Or is it eternal- no beginning no end. And let's say the Creator created everything. Who created Him? Could He create Himself? And the most puzzling of all, Why does SOMETHING exist in the first place instead of NOTHING at all? I mean, Why something and not nothing?

If scientists were to succeed in cloning a human being, would that clone have a soul? If so, when does that soul come in?

It seems every time scientists come up with a new medical or biological technology, they're accused of "playing God." Considering God made us in his "image and likeness," doesn't that mean we're supposed to be like Him? I'm specifically wondering about this article:

It's Genesis 2!

Christopher Hitchens insists that religion "poisons everything." While, without reading his book yet, I can see how this might be true. It does bring about separation between people- resulting in problems. John Lennon asks us in his awesome song "Imagine" to imagine that there's no heaven- to help "all the people live life in peace".
I say that if we can't find a common ground, we'll never have peace.Personally I like to think that we can find unity threw diversity- with that making us stronger people.
If we exclude religion from our life, would it really make a positive change? Or would it just be one damn thing after another regardless?
