may I recommend the smithy.com as well? It is thorough a website on Scotism (named after blessed Duns Scotus) and Saint Bonaventure.

League of reason, please. usually people insecure of their ability to reason well would feel the need to trumpet their reasonableness . It is as bad as the "brights."

[Theologica37]

Definitely.

Hehe, sorry Robot I've been really busy. I'm planning some stuff. What sort of stuff were you looking for?

One possible explanation for gravity is that invisible non-material angels hold everything down. Of course this could be a possible explanation for gravity, but no one would believe it to be true since no one has any reason to believe in anything non-material.

[Theologica37]

Many things either cannot be reduced to material entities or are wholly independent of them, examples would include: numbers, abstractions, values, essences, laws of logic, all laws of normativity and the truth of propositions.

In these ways, materialism as an explanation of the world is not only insufficient and absurd but downright self-refuting for you relied on much of the above to assert this.

Rest with this: materialist worldviews are false.

Considering the eligibility of the LoR requires no formal education, and only the mongrel horde cry of non-censorship (I might also add that they NEVER provide an argument for the normativity of free speech! Indeed they never could under scientism).

Further, the Prosblogion has been recognized, rewarded, requires an actual degree and has some of the most prestigious philosophers in academia today active there-- I not only prefer the Pb over the LoR but pity whichever deranged minds that don't.

The pretension of "reason" on the part of atheists has always struck me as banal, childish, and just plain weird. There is probably a very good commentary on it somewhere, but does anyone else feel the same way?

[HonestTechnoAtheist]

Since you don't think much of the league of reason perhaps you might want to get on there with them? Have a little chat you know.

[HonestTechnoAtheist]

The laws of logic are eternal as are numbers. Since they are immaterial.

@migkillertwo Of course, our brain is a constant consumer of a lot of energy. Probably why having such a big one only caught on once.

[migkillertwo]

they're the actualization of properties. Is an event in our mind an event?

[iToyRobot]

@Theologica37 honestly, ANYTHING would be good

[kamijk]

@migkillertwo What are events without a change in matter or energy?

[migkillertwo]

"causality is attached to changes of matter and energy"

and interesting sentiment, but I think that you would be hard-pressed to defend it given that most things aren't reducible to their constituent parts. If things are caused and they're not reducible to their constituent parts, then causality isn't necessarily linked to changes in matter or energy. Furthermore, we intuit causality not when we encounter any change in matter or energy, but when we encounter any event.
