You are mistaken.The term 'nothing' or 'infinite' are just as unintelligible (sic.) — universeness
Introducing someone skilled in the art of cartography would not change the outcome of the demonstration. Either character could have been a cartographer. — Experience of Clarity
Your 'incorrect map,' being compared to the 'real' surroundings in the scenario you offered, was, in my opinion, a poor way to exemplify the reasoning used by theists, or anyone else, who accept the existence of the supernatural.What did you mean with the word, “compare”? — Experience of Clarity
I don't see why, as I am employing 'reality' and my human processor (brain). I just found your 'incorrect map' analogy, along with its observational solution, a bit weak.What you consider new and improved about your version removes from consideration the appeal to the real world and to real human processors. — Experience of Clarity
I agree, but again perhaps it's just down to personal preference and taste. Many people favour their own way of arriving at much the same position.The passage guts the concept of its relevance to reality in the same way that the duped map-reader in my post has not conferred with reality. — Experience of Clarity
If you bitch at me Bammo, I will bitch right back at you. Have your wee tantrums, in your own padded room. Don't try to spew over me. I hope that explains ME very clearly to you.Your bitching at me makes no difference to that argument. It does say quite a bit about you. — Banno
BTW, how amazingly arrogant of you, to advise anyone on what is appropriate, when your manners are so low.The appropriate thing for you to do is to reply to that issue. — Banno
:lol: Are you related to @Bartricks by any chance? I know you really do want to apologise properly. Shave your knuckles first, that might help!OK, I apologise. Sometimes I forget that I may be dealing with children. — Banno
For example, both have uses in mathematics and physics, whereas "supernatural" is at best a fringe notion. — Banno
