Is taking an agnostic position on unknown things, a matter of safety?

I think my point remains. Without a clear definition agnosticism remains hijacked by atheism/materialism. If we are to assume the position of Agnostic, we have to agree to the "terms and conditions" defining Agnosticism and also we have to have those definitions heard and accepted by those in...

The smoke and mirrors appear to be in the strong/weak atheist relationship and how "weak atheist" have been identified by materialists as "agnostics". This opens up a question re the validity of the label being used, as weak atheists already existed long before Huxley coined the term "Agnostic"...

An Interesting Article. https://richarddawkins.substack.com/p/evolutionary-biologists-first-conversation?r=19nx5u&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&fbclid=IwAR0tgi1s7FNbfNnEqxadrNhvlCwmBEXNuU9BZbTOoLEKjcjbsBIZGD8IP_E

For me it is exploring the idea that both materialism and supernaturalism are stuck within the boundaries of those particular frameworks, so it is not simply just the case of the one is right while the other is wrong. The dilemma is created re the friction between the two opposing positions...

Have I not included those within my Natural Philosophy? Certainly they are included in my ongoing generated messages. Have I not included those within my Natural Philosophy? Certainly they are included in my ongoing generated messages. There is no necessary "role" for supernaturalism to play...

The issue isn't so much dualism (and any varying definitions) as "different substances" are still regarded as being physical in nature - and things such as minds/consciousness regarded as "non-physical" not been shown to be absent of physical properties. The dualism being referred to is about...

Philosophical Discourse on Spirituality, Mindfulness, and Purpose Christian Philosopher: A. There are things true of conscious states that aren’t true of brain states. GPT: This statement suggests a dualistic perspective, where consciousness and brain states are considered distinct entities...

True that, and where double standards are permitted is clear indication that things are amiss within the camp making the rules to suit the bias. It is a "my way or the highway" mentality which undercuts the reason for debating.

The Father and The Son Christian Philosopher: A randomly generated message is not evidence. It literally rightly belongs in random rambling. The Father: Matthew Twenty Two – Forty The Son: On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. The Father: “Under the breath words”...

Exploring Philosophical Perspectives on the Universe: Temporality, Eternality, and Analogical Challenges Me: Let's unpack the following. Philosopher 1: We observe matter/energy through various scientific implements (eyes and technologically advanced equipment) to see that it has length...

Human Science (science) is also "guilty" of this reaction. The place humanity is at currently shows us that the war is being fought but not with the intention to come to some agreed cease-fire through sorting out the human baggage from the actual experience human baggage derives. Science (as...

Let's unpack all this then. Okay so you are speaking only of natural physical stuff? I have already pointed out the contradiction. This is because you define God as supernatural being while I define The Universe as God (thus a natural being.) It appears that while you claim to be...

Yes - animism and paganism where humans identified naturally with the environment and the environment became the first "God" - naturally so. I think paganism was the first step/instrument whereby folk requiring answers to our shared fundamental questions initiated through animism, began to...

Temporary simply means Temporal/Temporal simply means Temporary. In what way do we observe this phenomena? Indeed - it could be argued that the phenomena observed (whatever these might be) consist of beginnings and ends. For example, we could agree that the phenomena of stars being observed...

Agreed. Any definition of "The Universe" which is not scientific knowledge - including the one you are using/wanting to use, should thus be placed aside because of that rule-set. The definition "spatio-temporal matter/energy" is breach of rule-set as it has within it's phrasing the word...

[Replying to The Tanager in post #141] Personality 1: Interesting reversal. So, the suggestion is that a personal cause, like God, has the freedom to choose when to create a universe, and that's why it doesn't happen repeatedly. But couldn't we argue that if a personal cause has the freedom...
