What do you do if you have the lower body but can't build upstairs?
Since OP bailed on his own thread let me give you a peace of information that I have found useful in years of many that I have been on this planet:

lower body, you got a problem building your your lower body, you got upper lower body, you got the upper body ugl the lower body you uh its hard to build the upper body. if you have the lower body, it's harder to build the upper body, if you have the upper body, it's hard to build lower, so, lower helps like i said, you have the lower body and you have no upper body you got a problem you got a problem building... wait a minute, you have the upper body and you have no legs, you have the upper body and you have no legs, you got a problem building the legs. you have an upper, you have the lower body, and you dont have the upper body the upper body, it's easier to build. so if you have the lower body, and you dont have the upper body, it's easier to build the upper body, you have the upper body and and you dont have the legs, you got a problem, building the lower body. naw you dont understand. you HAVE, the UPPER body, but you dont have the lower body, you got a problem building downstairs. you got up the dlldldldldlegs on the bottom, it's it's easier to build the top ehoh if you, if you have the lower BODY, it's, if you have the lower body it's easier to build, if you have the lower body well just let me say it, if you have the lower body, lower body, it's easier to build the top body, if you have the uh the top body, and no legs you got a problem.

You would eventually reach a singularity. Any notion of time and space beyond a certain point fails to make sense.

Big Bang is shortly after time began. We know time had a beginning, and there is no notion of "before" in this universe. There may be a larger structure in which this universe is embedded, but that is unknown. Believe it or not, it can have some implication to cosmology, and so some ideas can possibly be tested.

Who says there was nothing? Something blew up, though you could say a force started the process and we call that God. A cosmic being with that magnitude of power would surely be something incomprehensible to us, yet humans still humanise this possible ultimate being and tailor a cosmic entity to match the beliefs of their tribe. If there is a God, I'm sure we are ignorant of it.

Realizing this is likely a troll....you are missing the bigger point here. These questions don't have "answers" like for example, "is the square root of 2 rational or irrational?" has an answer. So to be answering one question after the next in here is basically idiocracy.

Also, lol at metaphysics in general.

When assembling a Victoria sponge cake, should the jam be spread on the bottom layer and then sandwiched by the buttercream or vice versa?..

So, from the top layer downwards

Sponge, buttercream, jam, sponge
OR
Sponge, jam, buttercream, sponge?

Basically, measured distances between objects are increasing over time. We think of it as if space is stretching out or inflating in a sense. That means if you look back in time far enough, you eventually get to a point where everything is really close together, and too close to make any sense of any idea of distance or time.

It is truly logically impossible to prove a false statement as true. God's reality need not have these axioms, but God is clearly constrained by the laws of logic. He cannot make something that is false true.

God cannot construct a one to one function mapping say the set {0,1} onto the set {0,1,2,3}. This is impossible. Not even God could do it.
You speak about God as if you're the one that has everything figured out, and he's playing by your set of rules. It's the other way around m8. God is transcendental, he cannot be fully understood, manifested, or defined. Without being able to do these things, it's impossible to say what God can and cannot do.

If you believe it, then God broke many universal laws (as we can understand them) and did things we know are impossible, through various prophets and through Jesus.

How do you feed a multitude with a few pieces of bread and fish, and end up with leftovers that appear to be several fold what you started with? The law of conservation of mass says it is impossible.

Lol, thought the thread was gonna be good then you start waxing philosophically about "free will".

I just showed you something that can't be done by God or anyone else. I didn't make these rules. It's logic. It's like saying God can divide by zero. It's nuts. You're nuts.

I grasped what you said. It's also stupid as hell. God cannot define a one to one function from {0} onto {0,1} because no such function can exist. Period.

BTW laws of physics could be imagined to be alterable by God, so it is possible Jesus turned wine into water, etc in principle, even though it would break a lot of chit. On the other hand, the laws of logic are much higher than that. Even God is constrained by them.

You don't understand how that could be possible, you mean.


Also it's distasteful to say something is stupid as hell, simply because you disagree with it, or don't understand it. Just trying to help your social skills.

If homosex is a dead end street in evolutionary terms why are there still homosexuals? Shouldn't natural selection have weeded them out by now?

There are only 2 such functions, and neither is onto the whole set, numbnuts.

But with homosex always resulting in a dead end you would think whatever causes it would eventually be bred out of the population. Like our tails did.

You calling me numbnuts right now is ironic.


You're talking about pointless things, whether God can violate mathematical logic or make 1=0. THAT'S your roadblock? Not how the entire universe could have seemingly sprung out of nothing, all contained in an infinitesimal point? Or how Jesus endured torture that would have killed several men over, only to raise from the dead 3 days later?

To entertain that train of thought, there is plenty of homosexuality in the animal kingdom that doesn't result in a genetic dead end.


In other words, animals do gay **** all the time but still go **** the other gender and make kids.

what is perspective if humans were not around to act as a relative comparator?

does it still exist?

why not?

are we the epicentre of perspective or is this just a figment of humanity's well-documented and ongoing delusions of grandeur as a species?
