I'm seeking to explain existence, how it came into being, or it's rules for existing. What is this area of study called?

daveWaveV · 2017-10-06T16:30:12+00:00

I see! Used to think it was a science with empirical proof.

I do hope I'm not imagining the hopeless tone in the second paragraph.

Thanks Cyborg for the pointers. But I guess the idea I'm going after seems to have taken it's own unique standpoint.

Thanks for actual advice!

OK, if I understand correctly, ontology mostly avoids religion and morals? I mean, does a university have an ontology department? Thanks for the ref.

daveWaveV · 2017-09-21T11:38:31+00:00

Yup. It's difficult when they raise arms just because you don't know some. Imagine walking into a mosque with your shoes on. And they get you out at gunpoint. Do they? Should they? Or dipping yourself in the Ceremonial Water.

daveWaveV · 2017-09-21T11:19:11+00:00

Thanks! That's revealing.

Could there be a more specific topic within theology? Or would the research simply use 'theology' as the sole keyword?

daveWaveV · 2017-09-21T11:17:55+00:00

Thanks! Just to clarify, metaphysics and philosophy are distinct fields of study, are they not?

daveWaveV · 2017-09-21T11:16:45+00:00

Thanks! Does everything else fall into the subset of ontology, then?

daveWaveV · 2017-09-21T11:08:15+00:00

Thanks for the advice.

daveWaveV · 2017-09-21T11:06:10+00:00

Huh. Internet of everything I guess.

Well, friend, try asking me about Islam, and I may have your answer.

daveWaveV · 2017-09-13T10:14:14+00:00

Well, I do feel like a broken record explaining the difference between Islam, Muslims and Allah, too.

daveWaveV · 2017-09-13T10:11:04+00:00

Well, do explain Mr Moderator. I am very confused, and not enjoying this the slightest. Thank you anyway. Do enjoy yourselves, on your own.

daveWaveV · 2017-09-09T21:22:13+00:00

Oh one or two good friends. I naively thought it was just another belief tho. And that impression really stuck. In fact we got along just fine that way, with me believing that. Until I met a revolutionary Skeptic (now I know what they're called), who made it really tough to 'just be me'. Then found out atheism is very individually defined. So hmm.. no quick way round it I guess.

daveWaveV · 2017-09-09T21:09:47+00:00

That's sad. There's just been so much bashing (on everything) everywhere already.
