Wrong science in the Book of Stealing: 57:7.4 1,500,000,000 years ago the earth was two thirds its present size, while the moon was nearing its present mass. Earth's rapid gain over the moon in size enabled it to begin the slow robbery of the little atmosphere which its satellite originally...

Very amusing. How about you two read it as it is written (an unpopular approach I know): "...leaving one hemisphere of the planet always turned toward the sun or larger body, as is illustrated by the planet Mercury and by the moon, which always turns the same face toward Urantia" By the way...

Wrong science in the UB: P657:5, 57:6.2 The planets nearest the sun were the first to have their revolutions slowed down by tidal friction. Such gravitational influences also contribute to the stabilization of planetary orbits while acting as a brake on the rate of planetary-axial revolution...

OK. Bye. Stuart

It is a religious platitude. You have not defined "living spirit" and you have not established that the computer programming analogy is a sound model for this. Your writing has no communicative meaning. That is because it is an idea unsupported by any evidence. You have not given any...

Please link to the post(s) where I ever wrote any of that. I think my perception of beauty is the most honest one because I do not lay down celestial conspiracy theories on top of what actually appears to be the workings of the universe. Electrochemical, actually. There's nothing...

The first sentence is a logically invalid ad hominem argument. Something "doesn't make sense because I am proud". The second is a logically invalid non-sequitur. That is the logical fallacy of special pleading. This is the logical fallacy of begging the question. The existence of the thing...

Huh? Is that an answer to the question of how evolution could "think" things? It makes no sense. As usual. That does not depend on anyone's "standing". That would be the logical fallacy of the appeal to authority. What god? Including yours, by the looks of the typically defensive...

So in other words, you want to have your fantasy idea, which is supported neither by empirical science nor inductive reasoning, regardless. All you have is words that are not attached to any significance. You do have special pleading, but that is just a polite term for crazy talk. The mind is...

Just what I was thinking! Stuart

OK, bye then. Stuart

Which god were you discussing? No, the course of evolution is that which includes love. You are putting the cart before the horse. For all the evolutionary advantages it gave tribal cultures. How can evolution think things? Stuart

No, it's a platitude. Stuart

God is alcohol then. Unless you care to point to an alternative definition. Reference please. And not one to a site of religious woo that cannot define the words it uses. So what? I exist, as far as Descartes allows me to assume it, and I don't need a whole bunch of pseudolanguage to...

But you can't tell me what area of psychiatry does not actually work on that basis, can you. And that is because you are wrong. Stuart

Reference please. Reference please. From a physics journal or respected popular science source, if you can. Stuart

Are you trying to dismiss the entire basis of modern psychiatric medicine? How do you justify that? Stuart

Ever noticed that the definition gives the meaning, and if you cannot define the word then you are not communicating? Ever notice the whole swathe of words that are used by the religious which are so poorly defined that they achieve their goal of convincing others that when you use a word like...

What is a spirit? Is mind the same thing as described in the theory of mind? Do you agree that mind is a function of the chemical contents of the brain? Do you also agree that consciousness is a function of the chemistry of the brain? Is being that thing which is described by the Descartian...

But you used the word consciousness, and now you are using those other terms. What do I think they are? I have no idea what they are. So a god is a compound of meaningless words. Stuart
