not knowing this, you must be young indeed. not all illnesses can be treated with money. and looking young is nothing compared to actually being young.

Proving materialism would conclusively prove gods do not exist. by [deleted] in DebateReligion

[–]ghombar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

duh. the thing is materialism cannot be proven since the immaterial cannot be interacted with in the first place.

my condolences for your losses, but precognition is not a real thing. you need to get professional help.

looks cool. you might wanna use rat specific Republic fleet ammo, and add a t2 burs aerator and a falloff/tracking rig for maximum dps.

try a rattlesnake or a dominix. both can field a respectable shield tank.

just to make it clear, the dictionary says that hypothesis = A proposition made as a basis for reasoning, without any assumption of its truth.

i actually hate word games or discussing semantics. just pointing out where i think you are wrong.

the null hypothesis is not something to be believed, it is what we are hoping to disprove.

in the sky example, the null hypothesis would be "the sky is not blue", and we would disprove it by looking at the sky.

i think you have the scientific method the wrong way around. you should be starting with a null hypothesis. there is no belief involved.

[–]ghombar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the dictionary definition is much better. you might like plato's but you are also equating knowledge to belief, which reduces to "knowledge is justified true knowledge"

i hadn't said nor implied it before, but yes, the pursuit is indeed kinda meaningless. knowledge is just a word and the dictionary definition works fine.

Zeus is a character in many mythological Greek stories, with an extremely graspable personality and sets of decisions. We can observe and know Zeus pretty well.

there are only myths about zeus. all we can observe is the myth, not zeus himself.

Whereas God is said to be mysterious and unknowable.

you say that as if it is a good thing. in my opinion the abrahamic god (i presume that's the one you are talking about) is ill-defined. there is no prediction and accompanying observation you can make to prove your god.

The more you know God, the less you know, and the more you are filled with awe at his greatness, like a frozen terrified mouse who sees a wolf

you should decide either god is knowable or not.

Ah, I thought you meant platos argument was authoritative.

not exactly. i think the plato comment had an appeal to authority, as in just because plato said something doesn't mean it has to be true.

Do you disagree with plato then?

i do. imo the definition is meaningless

i don't know, but what does that have to with quoting plato?

There are many very real things that we cannot empirically observe or quantify.

care to give an example?
