Thanked: 0more blather
I haven't read all the posts to this thread, nor have I even read a single post in its entirety, but I add a rant anyway:
Freedom: seems to me if you're not free to make a mistake or do something stupid, then you're not really free, are you? But human behaviour can be, and often is, abhorrent...and laws seems to be needed to curb behaviour and effectively limit choices. Looks like we are, after all..."Human . . . all too human."
God's existence: to paraphrase Anselm, . . . only the fool had said in his heart, There is no God.
It seems to me that the theory of evolution opines as to how species come to be from something, but it does not explain how there is something at all in the first place, rather than nothing. Science cannot explain it, from what standpoint can you devise an experiment? Even Logic can only go so far, and Reason itself, which also embraces contradiction, eventually gives way to faith.
Big Bang, as cosmology is a joke. Think about it, what about before Big Bang? There was Nothing? How can something ever come from Nothing?
The Scholastics used to say "Ex Nihil, nihil fit", and before them Parmenides...
Science, without intuition, is empty formalism.. dull, eh?
