Really?!? You're funny.. How many of your "answers" are provably true? Seems like you don't have any answers. As for the evidence for evolution from "nothing": please read up on archeology, carbon dating and cern. More proof han you will ever find in the bible...

No. The book you are using to "prove" your thoughts on "spirituality" is myth. It doesn't even understand basic concepts on day and night but you insist it is 100% true. It is not. Only to fundamentalists. It's mythology.

If we look at consciousness as a function of the brain, than it is exactly that: energy. The brain functions by "firing neurons" which is energy transfer... When you are unconscious, the neurons aren't firing...

It is the fact that you first have to grasp physics, before you can begin to understand metaphysics, that escapes you... You're talking about mythology, not spirituality, let alone philosophy...

Very easy; because there are people who do terrible things with that book as their "justification". Now that threatens/frightens me... personally... So also anybody giving that book legitimacy and spreading its message as 100% truth is prolonging that suffering... It is a book. It should be taken as a book. You can learn a lot from it, or not... You can have fun with it, or not... But you can never, EVER take any book for 100% truth.

Nice deflection Dan... the point is that if you do not understand basic principles you are not even coming close to understanding higher principles...

So you can be totally oblivious about how basic astronomy works but still be 100% right philosophically...? Interesting conclusion you make there, Dan... I've got news for you Dan: we all die. I know that for a fact.

Yes, and what about: "16 years ago"...?!?

At least, from time to time, someone "new" comes along and finds your words inspiring (and it saves that person a long detour to find those same arguments/conclusions)... 🤔

Please quote your sources, if I take a look at the Total Public Dept : 2005 Total public dept was: 26 trillion and now its over 58 trillion.... so where do you get your numbers from...?

Thank you (for driving the point home)!

It matters to those who feel so overwhelmed by the real world that they need mythology to reassure them... been like that for eons...

Thank you! Really appreciate it! Your's (and Cuchulain's and Key's) really contribute (to my own understanding and development), just wanted to point that (and my personal appreciation for it) out...

Hell no, my “beliefs” actually have a base i real world reproducible and empiric sciense (and actually provide the technology your using ATM to vent your ideas). Your beliefs are based in mythology (and would have kept us in the middle ages if it was up to fundamentalist christians).

'The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.'

A hell of a lot more proof of that, than of your mythological books... but you just keep believing this world is the centre of the universe... you don't need proof, right? And again, assumptions, assumptions, assumptions.... if you had just payed a bit more attention in highschool you would probably have known that energy is "immortal" (it only changes shape). So anyone who just grasps basic physics knows part of him has lived, and will live forever... Only thing is: physics explains (and proves) it a lot better than mythology.

What a load of bull$#!?. Why do you assume that? Actually we know where we came from with a far greater and provable certainty that any fairy tales told in mythology. And "we" know why we're here intrinsically, without the need for some "external" source for that. - I love being a parent and beeing there for my kids; - I love my work, helping organizations become better and seeing people grow; - I love to study more about the world around me... I don't need mythology to provide me with false notions of belonging. You philosophy is flawed (because it's based on mythology).

Oh! So that's what this is all about?

Exactly the kind of thinking any fundamentalist, past and present, used to approve his own wicked actions...

Wasn't it Churchill who said:

It's called cognitive dissonance...

Nah... I think you nailed it!

Read up on the CERN experiments (on creation). They describe empirical, factual en reproducible fact. Yes, "Christians" are gullible.

Off course! Obviously!!!
