been borg again Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Hi Amanda, I am not picking on you. Just this quote. Because I like brain teasers and Im a little drunk too. I dont really know the point of this thread. I am just picking your brain. Imagine this truth, which seems to contradict. look at a rock, is it still and not moving? You could say yes, this rock is silent and not moving at all... is this Truth? Suppose your standing in the center of the MilkyWay, you would see the rock moving at 30,000 MPH.. this is also Truth look at the rock again from an atomic point of view: the rock is accually moving/ vibrating at the speed of light. So you could say also this is Truth. Is the rock solid? You hit it with your fist and determine yes, it is solid. Is the rock solid from a quantum point of view? No, cuz your fist-electron shells, are repeling against the rocks electrons shells, which is 99.999999% empty space. is it a contradicting Truth?

chefranden Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 This is the blind men and the elephant. The truth of the rock is relative to your understanding of the rock. Even if there is something absolute about the rock you will not know it because your understanding of it is necessarily relative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouroboros Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Down boy....now get out of here and give your beautiful wife some of that passion that is almost surely at boiling point by now. Like a friend told me once: You can always go out to get your appetite, but you always go home to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is sort of what I am pointing at when I tell fundies that the existance of free will only makes the punishment of hell for not choosing christ even worse .
