Philosophy Blog: Proof of God?

"Clockwork Orange brought up most of things I wanted to bring up to you"

Atheists are so original.

[Humanoidbioweapon]

What if philosophy is a way of escaping, and if too much escape is bad for you then when would you know you've had enough and should stop and go outside to socialize or exercise, especially since thinking is known to be common an everyday thing. (PT. 2)

[Humanoidbioweapon]

Does anyone agree that we need escapes from reality most of the time in our lives to feel better from the harshness events in life, I mean any sort of entertainment keeps us happy but sometimes we focus too much on trying to satisfy ourselves, Too much escape is negative right? (PT. 1)

[jackimn2008]

Idont get it people even SCIENCE Says god exist Nothing Cant Create Something let Along everything And plus Our planet has everything it needs for like HOW?? with out the moon we would Die it makes waves and wind And We Are pefectly far away from the Sun With perfect Orbit Shape with Out Summer our plants oxgen Will die With out winter it would be to hot and our plants (air) will die same with fall and winter Nomatter how far u go into Science from every angle it All points to A thinking Creator

[Sudelah]

To add to your logical reasoning. When it is God will it is like parents raising their child. They force there will on the child so the kid will not get hurt. By doing this your growing the child and giving it structure. Once the child gets the right age they themselfs have the right logic to think correctly to decide and make the right decisions on matters that can effect there whole life. Now the kid have the right stuff to have their own will.

Ever heard of correlation/causation fallacy? Just because something caused it doesn't mean it was meant to happen, or that whatever caused it receives the blame. I think we're referring to free will am I correct?

[ogirv101]

determinism is an inaccurate philosophical viewpoint, especially when you consider scientific implications to philosophy. Quantum Physics provides the best explanation for what I'm trying to say, nothing in the Universe is determined, and God doesn't play dice with the Universe as our great determinsist Albert Einstein said. Fatalism is an even worser concept, I feel that though they are distinct, they ar related to some extent.

[woolzytheindieboi]

do you believe in life after death?

(i dont and it scares me)

[superschema]

I think you are assuming too much when you make your statment about free will. First, you are assumeing that if you reround time, that you would create a dimension identical to our dimention up to that point. The probabilty of Time being more or less a linear device (each event falling in sucession with another) is just too great to ignore. There is a good chance that if you took hitler's body from the past, THAT would be the reason it was never found and dissapeared off the face of the earth

[guitarforfree]

stop taking acid dummy.

[perplexedmoth]

As for the quantum theory, Einstein thought that the randomness could be explained by a deeper level of deterministic behaviour. If you think about it this will be the case for any seemingly random behaviour - there is always the possibility of an explanation which we don't yet understand.

[08746]

according to quantum physics, most matter acts randomly. things that act randomly have nothing to do with cause and effect.  this is what I believe, and this is why i am not a determinist. what do you think?

[dudesmitt]

ur fucking stupid

[burnvictim77]

No, I'm not going to check out your videos.

[Ryan44567]

I have listened to most of your video and much of Darfius as well. I just wanted to say i agree with you and i understand what you are saying completely.

[GodMechanism]

Why do These Effects Follow These Causes? This is what is left out of philosophical discussions on Cause & Effect; If you notice that Physical laws are not explanations,but what is in need of explanation

[burnvictim77]

Elaborate.

[nazarene1]

There's only ONE great mind. For there's nothing that comes about and there's nothing that happens without the thought/mind involved. Mind and brain are DIFFERENT. You can draw a picture of the brain. So draw a picture of the mind. [pause & reflect] When you perceive the universe, you see design. Check this. Man makes machines with programs in them. So they NATUR(e)ally carry out that which theyr'e set to do. Man is like machine, yet greater. For man makes machines, but man doesn't make man.

[BananaPuddin]

Are you saying that someone/something made us and we have a purpose? When/If man is able to make man, then I suppose that idea would be illogic?

[nazarene1]

Man is already made. Man is not man's idea. Cars, buildings, bridges - man's ideas manifested into physical forms. Physical forms housing(containing) the ideas. The Creator wasn't created. So how can man, who was created, figure out how the Creator create us, and we don't see him like we see us(mankind)? Since ones don't see the Creator, ones find it difficult to know, much less believe in, the Creator. The MIND(Spirit), not ours of course, is the Creator.

[SomeFatGuy666]

he thinks them don't he ,lol

[nazarene1]

This physical realm is the manifestation of the mental(mind)/spiritual(spirit) realm. Ones could never see the mind because the mind is not physical. Your brain is different from your mind. Brain is physical, has shape/outline. Thought/mind is not physical, yet it manifests THROUGH the brain. There's the saying that you can't read people's thoughts; yet, we know thoughts manifest through one's words/deeds/acts.

[nazarene1]

Conceit in man is deceit in man. For creation to verbally deny the Creator is bad. I say 'Creator', and ones deny. What's the problem. What's up with this sharp, quick opposition to the thought of 'God'. I know organized religion has been the cause. Spiritual is not religion, though. It's the simple,original way of life. Call it Love.

[nazarene1]

What I say is foolishness to those who want to debate. But listen to what I'm saying and you'll see. Nothing I'm saying is wrong. It's self-evident. Why are ones ignorant of the higher one? As if ones are conceded, all caught up within their own self? Well, it must be that. And it is.

[nazarene1]

Most High is the Mind. The highest mind is God. Look at the intelligence that designed everything/everyone. Not understanding Truth doesn't erase the Truth. Brain is not the mind. Just like word, which is expression of thought, is not physical. Thought/word manifest in flesh/material/physical. This is real, not no personal belief that needs to be proved. It's natural and true.

[nazarene1]

Seeing is believing. So believing is seeing. Seeing = believing. The evidence of 'God' is creation. Creation is everything that's created. Everyone/everything is created. Time is nothing in supreme reality. Life was, is, and will always be. Life is more than physical energy, physical movement. ALL IS THE MIND.

[nazarene1]

There's truly nothing new on earth. Everything was, is, and will be. The studying of matter is nothing new. In ancient times, people in Africa was studying matter and the universe. Yet, they never denied divinity. They knew divinity was within the matter, not just separate.

[nazarene1]

The things man creates is the reflection/expression and evidence of man's mind. What about the things man doesn't create? Everything. Everything man uses to create, man never created. Man's body was not made by man. Including man's physical brain. So whose idea was/is all of this creation? Creation, where there's certain orders? Whose idea? What idea/mind? Only a fool truly believes in his/her heart there's no God/Creator.

[nazarene1]

Many people suffer from unforgivingness in this world. Without forgiveness there is no love. Just grudge(hate) and then the continuation of greed(uncontrollable desire) and envy. Love is simplicity, being as the elements of life such as the one sun that shines over all and the one breath we all are sharing. Without oneness there is no life. Love is the oneness.

[nazarene1]

Love is the defining connection in/of life. Remember, everything is interrelated. Without love, you can't see God. God is a name/title. Presence of God is God. God is Love. Love is knowing we(creation) are all made as one family.

[nazarene1]

Space is just space. All of these celestial bodies are in this space. Space has no outline. It's just space - where creation takes place. Due to religion, people have been given a short-sighted conception of God. This is also due to the separate, divided way ones view creation, including themselves. True/pure Love is the integral part of life. Love is divine.

[nazarene1]

Time is the measurement of existence in this space we are in, utilizing the position of our planet Earth with the Sun and Moon. It is JUST man's measurement. Man says 60 sec makes 1 min, 60 min makes 1 hr, and so on. They say 365 days make a year, 12 months. It's how man counts existence based on perception.

[nazarene1]

So what one calls the moment is what one calls the moment. Names and titles are just that. Names and titles. They're given to the things that exist. The earth spins on its axis. Wherever the Sun is hitting at the moment is referred to as 'day time' due to the light - 'day light'. Light defines the day then.

[nazarene1]

Universe/Space is the mind field of God. Word of God is God, Word of God is Life. God(Life) is the supreme will of life. All answers lies in our savior,the Most High. So seek and trust in that Mind. Our Creator. Blessed love. Peace.

[ThoughtGaze]

there is no creator.

[nazarene1]

Fool, we are all formed and shaped. As well as the rest of creation - the planets, stars, everything. There's a certain order set. Creator is above and greater than simple man. There's an idea behind/within everything, including man. God is that Mind. Remember, mind is not physical. Thought is then not physical.

[ThoughtGaze]

The concept of creating spacetime is flawed within the very definition of the meaning we give them. If this is so, then when you say things are created, you are stating something absolutely meaningless. If you care to see how this is so, view my video, I try to explain it pretty clearly. How do you know there is an idea behind everything? Because it seems as though there is? is that your reason?

[nazarene1]

Alright. Look at the things man create. There is an idea behind and within. Creating begins with the idea. Everything carries a thought within it. Now, look at creation - everything that has been created not by man, including man himself.

[nazarene1]

Space is not created. Space is just space. It was, is, and will be. Just is. Was, is, and will be is the language of time. Time is man's measurement of existence in this space, where objects are in orbit. Cycles are observed and given names. Creation occurs in space. Creation is formation. Things form and take shape. Everyone is born into this life, and have to learn of it. Everyone - babies, children, parents, and their parents, and their parents, and so on.

[allismind]

your arguments are pretty ambiguous, it seems ur spouting a stream of religious and emotionally charged slogans. I dont think i doubted that things are created within time, but you posit an absolute creator of all things. this religious "Most High" you speak of does not exist.

[nazarene1]

How blind(ignorant) can one be to not know the Absolute Creator? Life IS the Creator. Due to human imperfection, religion has become a set of rules/rituals and nothing more than a political tool. Yet, there's existence. The fiber that keeps everything together is the Creator.

[nazarene1]

Nothing is wrong with the physical. 'God' is the spiritual. Love is what it is. Love is the oneness of creation. Anything/anyone created is created. Man RE-produces, so we are reproducers. When a man/woman makes a life(baby), it's RE-production. Re- is 'to do again'. Yet, man/woman's mind/thought has little to do with the process. So man/woman DOESN'T make a life(baby)

[nazarene1]

The biggest man/woman was once a baby. Daddies and mommies were once babies, and so on. To deny the Creator is to deny the creation. The clear perception of our source, who we refer to as God, has been blurred by religion.

[nazarene1]

You can't identify the Creator by isolating him/her/it and say "there he is" or "here he is". The original self is 'god' in flesh. See. Oneness of creation is what it is. We are all interrrelated. Relatives. One family. The original way is the first and only way. Love/Life is purity in its original self.

[allismind]

wow nazarene, like i said all youre doing is mixing a bunch of words together that sound pretty but really mean nothing. i deny a creator because i deny creation. it is an illusion that things are created. everything is static in the highest dimension. there is no change. time is a dimension. If you could perceive that dimension lets say from traveling through a higher dimension, you would see time very differently. time gives you the illusion of creation.

[nazarene1]

You deny creation? Weren't you created? To create means to make. What's made is the reflection/expression of the maker's mind. In this world people talk about creativity - the ability to create, the quality of being creative. Creating is bringing into being.

[allismind]

to create means to bring into existence... logically it is impossible to go from existence to nonexistence and vice versa.

[nazarene1]

Physical existence is physical existence. When one manifests an idea, one brings it into existence. You see, you can't debate about the Creator's existence. Everything exists before it manifests. Everything comes from the Creator.

[nazarene1]

When one is born, they go from not being here to being here. Then, when they leave this physical life via death, they're not here. The physical is the manifestation realm. Just like how we make/create things, we are/were made/created. My 'argument' is to state the Truth. Truth is the Creator. Simple.

[nazarene1]

Everyone was once a baby. Are you still a baby? Everything grows and evolves from a substance. Man and woman come together and become one flesh. That one flesh that manifest from this union is a baby - another one of us. So there is a definite pattern SET. Babies grow/evolve into adults.

[allismind]

indeed, all of this happens within "growing" happens within the time dimension, but all of it is static in an even higher dimension.

[nazarene1]

When I say creation I'm not talking about anything that would be taught in a school/university. This is not a theory nor ideology. It's reality, fool. Why don't you have love of creation? You and I are creation - formed and shaped. By whom? By ignoring the Creator you have ignorance in you. What you say is completely STUPID.

[nazarene1]

Only reason I'm talking to you is to help bring some sense out of you. Time is an illusion - meaning that if man doesn't measure existence/keeping time, there is no time. What's the difference between 10 o'clock and 11 o'clock. Time is just the man's measurement of existence. Existence of course is real. Existence - the act of BEING. There's the cause for the being.

[nazarene1]

Man's movements are measured through the invention/concept of time. Everything happening is real. But time gives the impression of how long the existence of something is/takes. It deals with specific measurements. Time is just measurements of existence.

[nazarene1]

So, what and WHO cause the existence? You see, before time(physical existence), there is no time. The beginning of creation(man included) was/is the beginning of time. Time is the measuring of physical existence. This physical realm we are in/a part of is full of shapes and forms. Anything/anyone with shape/form was/is shaped and formed. CREATING IS THE SHAPING AND FORMING. IDEA MANIFESTING, BEING CARRIED OUT.

[allismind]

youre deluded in thinking you have the right idea. because you contradict yourself numerous times and bring no coherent argument. if you want to attempt to debate more send me a message, it is not efficient to debate in the manner of comments on this video.

[nazarene1]

You see, people's idea of the Creator has been this view that the Creator is a person. Person, meaning a physical living being like me or you. People debate about who is God. Truth is WE are God. God's reflection. Look into a mirror and you see yourself. God is not a distant being. God is the universe, which we of course are a part of. Everything interrelates. Therefore, everything/everyone is ONE.

[nazarene1]

Everything is dimension, as you've stated. So, we can look at one object(focus of attention) from different angles, and get a completely different view of it. Creation itself is the reflection/expression of the Creator. Creator is the idea. God is the idea that manifests creation, expressing itself. Order is seen through this expression.

[nazarene1]

Time is the measurement of existence in this space/universe, based on man's observation. Man uses the sun,moon, and position of the earth to determine time. In the supreme reality, there is no time. It's just the measurement of existence. The Most High has no beginning or ending. Was,is, always. How can finite mind(man's) understand infinite mind(God's)? The physical realm is the Most High's creation. Glory to God(Life).

[nazarene1]

Man does not create himself. In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and God is the Word. Word is expression of Thought. Brain is physical matter. Mind is spiritual. Thought goes with the mind. Our Creator is the Master Mind of creation. We are creation. The Word of God is Life. God is Life. God is here, there, and everywhere. It's not our mind that manifests creation, including ourselves. God provides our options. How one views them is how they view them.

[S0n0fMan]

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[m] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,

[S0n0fMan]

The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, I am telling you what I have seen in the Father's presence, and you do what you have heard from your father.[c]" And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him.

[S0n0fMan]

and when a prayer or plea is made by any of your people Israel—each one aware of the afflictions of his own heart, and spreading out his hands toward this temple- Azel had six sons, and these were their names: Azrikam, Bokeru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah and Hanan. All these were the sons of Azel.

If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels."

[Savagery34]

He did that to me too. What a loser.

[S0n0fMan]

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor heavenly rulers, nor things that are present, nor things to come, nor powers,

[JohnHasSeriousQ]

Indoctrination of the supernatural in children is ubiquitous. Raising children to believe in any supernatural as fact delays their developing some critical thinking skills, and in turn, as these children grow and work and rule and teach their children, a great loss in potential development of civilizations result, over, and over, and over again. Have you told a child who asks you that you believe 'there is NO god' lately!

[BeatBuddy]

He blocked me too! He loves to demolish the prejudices of others, but he can't handle it when anyone challenges his own prejudices. And I am an atheist!

[nuniyabidness]

LMAO @ "Why arent we leopard flavored"

[BJJMTF]

BAM!!! at the end of your video is the perspective of the buddist with the origine idea not being important or explainable =D

[mf103]

re: Fatalism

You define fatalism in relation to some supernatural force, which isn't how I understand it. I took it to be as follows:

x is a fact

facts are timeless

thus x is 'always' a fact

thus, even prior to x, x is determinate/inevitable.

I think this is originally Aristotle's view (my recollection is a tad hazy).

[burnvictim77]

Well, you are talking about the logical argument for fatalism, which isuniversally rejected (I'm pretty sure) and is quite different. Basically, what makes fatalism fatalism is the denial of man's will of having consequences.

[peranimo]

A circle needs no begining

[Try2Bkinderguy]

Gary. I often benefit from listening to you. During scrutiny though, one might offer, you'd be best to steer far more clear of your notes. Some points wander or get lost more often then not, when you return your eyes/mind to your 'syllabus.' True, your ideas lend well to cheat-sheets. There's certainly a lot to cover where you're concerned! Always enjoy your discourse; polite or vindictive. Thomas

[Try2Bkinderguy]

Just re-read that.

Meant to just say

"great job mate."

More philosophy blogs on youtube!

[Darfius]

Thanks for the responses. Challenging as I expected. I'll get my own responses up ASAP, but that may be a couple days.

[HoldinCoffee]

:D There used to be...but not anymore...Metaphysics bombed it and there's nothing left.

[FantasticBabblings]

How do you know we are not leopard flavored? I've never tasted leopard or human (ingested, at least).

[HoldinCoffee]

One could just as easily say 'we are leopard flavored' as another could say 'we are not leopard flovored' as yet another could say 'we are blue flavored'. Sense and perception become so subjective that anything can be true...

P.S. There is no universal "NOW"

[FantasticBabblings]

Is there a universal "THEN". Alas, the perception of humor is subjective as well.

[k3hatchbacks]

roflchips.

[TheSonOfCulture]

"Why aren't we leopard flavoured?"

I totally dropped any intellectual ideas that were forming once you said that. Oh man.

[k3hatchbacks]

i concur.

[burnvictim77]

Well, why aren't we. Philsophers have NEVER come up with a good reason.

[DickJohnson3434]

I thought "leopard flavoured" was an excellent line.
