Yeah Trix, I see coins flip themselves all the time
OH BOY
The outcome IS based on the past...
Trix, YOU FLIPPED THE COIN!
Okay, I just flipped a coin. The present is based on the past. Did the coin come up heads or did it come up tails? Your contention is that the outcome was pre-determined. Prove it.
If you made a coin that was double headed, youre saying that it may land tails up.
You know I am saying no such thing. That is pitiful, wraith. You can do better.
Youve shot down nothing...
Im still waiting to see where you run red lights at "random"
Go search for it then. I'm not retyping all my evidence just so you can ignore it again.
without a double standard, how can you be more conscious than your car and TLOP?
You'll first have to give me evidence that TLOP are conscious. You have so far had a very bad record for providing evidence for this wild assertion. How many things without brains are conscious? I mean besides Franko.
Dam right it's well supported. Well supported with double standards and magic aka ◊◊◊◊!
You don't like the zygote to adult evidence? Well then tell me where the consciousness comes from instead of calling my evidence ◊◊◊◊. This is why you get hammered in debates.
By the way, you live your whole life around this belief...I bet that you would be crushed if you found out that it was false
LOL. You won't even bet on the outcome of a coin flip that you claim is pre-determined. But if evididence showed my belief to be wrong, I would happily adjust or abandon it. Show me the evidence.
Self contradictory?
How do you figure?
Because we all have consciousness. If that consciousness can make matter, then where is all the matter our consciousnesses are making in violation of the laws of physics?
Or can only
one consciousness make matter? One consciousness that you have given no evidence for?
Yeah, consciousness existing in timeless space? I dont think so.
Yet LD posits consciousness (The PS)existing without anything else. Consciousness with no matter to store information. Consciousness that is, by any definition, magic.
The PS ofcourse...
just how can consciousness exist without time and vice-versa?
Time measures the sequence of events. It need not have consciousness around for events to occur. Your preliminary assumption that there must always be a consciousness keeps you from examining any other possibilites. Why must there be consciousness? Because you can't imagine a universe without it? I'd say that has more to do with your lack of imagination than with the way the universe works.
E=mc^2
Youre perceiving energy!
There is no "hard stuff"
thats why I call it "dream matter"
It's like a dream for you, because you hate the idea of consciousness creatiing matter
So my question remains. Does dream matter exist for Logical Deists? If it is my "hatred" for your idea that makes it "dream matter, then you don't have it. Plug that back into your syllogism, and you wind up with a contradiction again.
They would be alive but they wouldnt be self-aware.
You said none of the senses would exist without consciousness. Protozoa can sense, yet they are not conscious. Busted again.
Youre describing a correlation...that doesnt imply that matter creates consciousness....
It is a great deal more evidence than you have given. Would you tell me again the mechanism for consciousness creating matter? Oh, and don't forget the evidence.
according to you, if a rock became more massive, it may one day be conscious?
Only if the matter it was adding was neural matter. I never said that ALL matter creates consciousness. (Oh yes. How many rocks do you know that actually get larger?)
OH
and whats this "graviton entering a human" business?
YOU ARE THE GRAVITON PERCEIVING THIS REALITY/UNIVERSE
Duh. By your mythology, gravitons are souls and each human has exactly one. How does this graviton/soul get associated with a particular human. (And shouting won't help your argument.)
or you could just answer the question
Or you could ask a question that has something remotely to do with the topic at hand.D
No, to the LD there is only energy
So the LD does not and cannot affect the material world in any way? Well why didn't you say so in the first place?
Time....what else?
(sigh)... Do we have to do this drill again? Okay, wraith. What created time?
