Supratemporal and supernatural are not really the same thing — I like sushi
In more simplistic linguistic terms; if I cannot know something (in the purest meaning of ‘not knowing’) then I cannot know that I don’t know it. — I like sushi
All manners in which the “supernatural” is claimed, as far as I’ve seen, is in reference to phenomenon - which is by definition NOT supernatural, therefore the term is part of a word game where the claimant declares knowledge of what they don’t/can’t know. It is a fallacy of language — I like sushi
3. Omnipotent - NO
Could God create a copy of himself? If he did create a copy of himself, he would no longer be omni-potent, so we can conclude God is effectively not omni-potent. — Devans99
If being omnipotent requires being the most powerful existing being then it follows that God would no longer be omnipotent after [\i] having created a copy. But this says nothing about whether he is omnipotent before creating the copy. He might well be omnipotent at that time. — PossibleAaran
Agreed, I personally use a definition of supernatural as beyond nature; IE beyond spacetime. — Devans99
Parts of the universe are moving apart from each other at faster than the speed of light. — Devans99
First, if this is the case, the speed of light is not actually a (universal) speed limit. — Terrapin Station
So nothing breaks the speed of light limit but things on the opposite side of the universe are moving apart faster than light. — Devans99
If nothing breaks the speed of light limit then nothing is moving apart faster than the speed of light. If something is moving apart faster than the speed of light, then something breaks the speed of light limit. We can't have it both ways. It's a simple contradiction. — Terrapin Station
It's not the galaxies that are moving; it is the metric of space expanding — Devans99
Imagine a rubber band with two dots on it (=galaxies). When you stretch the band, the dots/galaxies do not move (relative to their immediate surroundings) but the distance in-between them increases. — Devans99
Nothing is moving faster than the speed of light. — Devans99
Then we can't say that parts of the universe are moving apart from each other at faster than the speed of light, lol. — Terrapin Station
Parts of the universe are being stretched apart at FTL maybe? — Devans99
Isn't stretching moving? — Terrapin Station
You don't go with what someone tells you non-critically. Anyone can say something wrong. — Terrapin Station
The medium (space) is stretching. The things in the medium (the galaxies) are not moving. — Devans99
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
