Since the scientific method is the only currently known method for us humans to come to conclusions of truth, it is true without any way to disprove it. Well, unless you found another method to prove stuff of course.


"Since the scientific method is the only currently known method for us humans to come to conclusions of truth,"

prove this scientifically

nothing what you said is scientifically proven.

you haven't demonstrated why he must cause an event to have knowledge of it


Yes I have. If he didnt cause an event, he cant have knowledge of it unless someone else caused it and told him about it. Thats simple logic. Thats how logic works. If this is not enough for you, then theres nothing you should and could ever discuss about ever again.

No, that's a false dilemma. His knowledge isn't 'acquired' by observation, nor does it have to be causal. God's knowledge can be a perfect, inherent awareness of our free choices as they will occur. Knowledge doesn't equal causation.

If it "simply doesnt follow", explain to me how one can know something beforehand without being the reason for what they know will happen. One example. Please. You love to sound smart, but wheres the actual argument?Tell me how its possible, thats all I am asking.
God omnipotence follows the logically possible, so explain to me how he knows what I will do tomorrow without being the initiator. Thanks in advance.


I'll cut right to it with you go read Swami Vivekananda's complete works volume 1 if you want to know the answer about causation.

Once again stop acknowledging only the Abrahamic God as the God you are refuting. Do you notice that you have a predetermined bias on "God" because you didn't research into Atheism/Buddhism/Hinduism/Sikhism/Zoroastrianism/ETC.

You don't have a full picture of God or Science so stop pretending you know a damn thing about either.

I'll go back and read what you said in previous posts just to show you how you walk around in platitudinal circles and don't know shit about anything.

Also there is no such thing in science or "god" that is ABSOLUTE not a damn thing. Numbers/Symbols were all created by man not the universe and our an evolutional adaptation we gained after going from hunter-gatherer to an agricultural society we began to develop "language/numbers/symbols" as a means to communicate. Like I said research ancient Sanskrit which is the root of all language and you'll experience the truth.

Human beings could never concieve or contemplate the "true reality" which is the "thought free state" that is the only real state of existence everything else is a fanciful illusion or in Sanskrit "maya".

Like I mentioned before that is the deep symbolism behind the story of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. Eve bites of the "fruit of knowledge" and becomes separate from "existence/reality/god".

So let me ask you a question do you believe in God the formed or God the formless(hint hint you believe in God the "formed" based on your above statement lol. Because there is a difference that you can't see because you are unread in these philosophical disciplines.

Try harder.

Knowledge doesnt equal causation - unless its unaquired.

"Awareness of our choices as they occur" implies that there is or was a point when he didnt know it.

My point is that your claim – 'the scientific method is the only currently known method for us humans to come to conclusions of truth' – is one of those things not scientifically proven. You're asserting a truth that cannot be validated by your own standard.

You think consciousness is not scientific because its not fully explained? Thats the same leap others have made here before. We have no current full explanation for it therefor: Metaphysics.
Thats not how it works. Many scientific fields are actively studying consciousness. Neuoscience, cognitive science and psychology for example.

Consciousness is a real, scientific field of study, but it’s not fully understood or explained yet. Many theories exist, but there’s no final consensus. That does NOT mean, its not scientific.

As long as nature can affect consciousness its fair game for science, thats for sure. We can "turn it off" so to say, we can alter it and so on.

There was a point at which we couldnt explain electricity. That did not mean it was supernatural or metaphysical all of a sudden.


Good God you don't even know about consciousness either. I'm done with this topic holy batmans ballsack have fun with this goon you've been intellectually too kind to him :rofl:

The guy is just a troll or a supremely unintelligent and arrogant bigot.

I explained to him in very clear terms how science has already fundamentally disproven determinism (or lack of true free will), and his only response is "science is just a theory"

Megaclown


Can't believe you guys actually explained out what I refused to lol!!! Like I said you guys are too kind for showing him the other end of his fallacy.

First of all: Yes, I talk about the christian god. I dont know enough about others, thats the god I talk about here. I cant talk competently about other gods and also didnt try to.

Maybe I dont know a damn thing, but you dont either. And you know who didnt know a damn thing either? Swami Vivekanada. No one knows shit, will all just make our assumptions, so if you wanna come from that direction do not exclude yourself or the dude you love so much.

We all here know that symbols are manmade thanks. And I dont believe in any god.
