johnydon22: All these are hypothetical and cannot be obtained in reality . plus Its like asking God to do dumb things when He told you he is an all wise God . Or commit sin when He told you that he is Holy , righteous . |

Reyginus: You are only half right. Time travel contains many logical paradoxes. That is why you say it has contradictions But you are not looking at the bigger picture. Time itself is a paradoxical concept containing contradictions. Let me ask you- what is the first event that happened in our universe/cosmos? You can't answer the question! Why? Because there is always a preceding event before any event. This is the paradox of cause and effect and an infinite regress. Do you realise that you time travel every time you pass a time zone? |

johnydon22:Time travel assumes a lot of things that are not possible. I don't see time in that light. I don't see it in the same light some of you here see it. I wonder what exactly will happen to our earth for a particular person to interfere with the past? Does it affect just his past and how does our earth react to this movement involving only one person? Does the earth rotate faster and to whom? It makes zero sense. |

KingEbukasBlog: It is a paradox and if the question is illogical then the subject of which the question is based then becomes Illogical. Omnipotence. Paradoxes are created to show the illogicalities of an idea. . . So since Omnipotence means able to all things (this going from the definition means nothing is impossible for it) So if by saying it cannot do something this still murders omnipotence. . God cannot sin still is same as saying God cannot do everything therefore omnipotence is killed. God cannot forget, therefore it cannot do everything since forgetting is something and therefore part of everything. All these questions derive their illogicality from the illogicality of the subject.. Meaning Omnipotence is an illogical idea therefore leads to illogical paradoxes. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

KingEbukasBlog: If your God can not commit sin, then he is weak. He is not all powerful. Isnt that why he needed Satan to do the dirty work of tempting Adam and Eve or even Jesus? 1 Like |

Logicbwoy: Its just to let you understand that it illogical to insist something can be greater than God . He is beyond every imagination of powerful . So that's it . Any other question ? |

KingEbukasBlog:Oh okay you're now putting a full stop to his power.. His powers are now finite and constrained to only logical things like killing people through the help of others and can't do illogical things like raining food from the atmosphere You should have come clean a long time ago by simply blaspheming that he's not omnipotent |

johnydon22: No Omnipotence of God means He can do all things which are in His plans for anything in accordance to His personality or nature . Meaning He cannot do something illogical , or contrary to His nature . 1 Like 1 Share |

KingEbukasBlog: Does God know the future? If he does why does he need to test human beings? He tested Abraham. He tested Job. Also, if he knows the future, does that not negate the freewill concept? If God knows that I am going to eat ice cream tomorrow, then there is nothing I can do, I will eat ice cream the next day. |

Reyginus: Going back in time creates a paradox because if one person goes back and murders alexandar the great or Newton. this present will never turn out exact same way therefore he came from a future that does not exist. So you see, the only solution is annihilation of the paradox.. it is not feasible to travel back in time |

johnydon22: So what's the problem if you know that infiniti + infiniti = infiniti + 1 = Infiniti + 2 +... + Infiniti + n = Infiniti |

KingEbukasBlog: There you go, he cannot do something and also limited by his nature therefore cannot be Omnipotent. You see you have murdered the omnipotence yourself... You did it yourself. I'm through with the paradox nothing more to add 4 Likes 3 Shares |

KingEbukasBlog: Bros, why na? You said that God cannot commit sin. But then again, the only people that can not commit sin are people that lack freewill or people who lack the mental capacity to make informed choices eg toddlers and mad men. 1 Like |

dblackninja:Believe? No, don't use the word. You know, when we use believe we may be tempted to drag faith and then religion to it. Have you read the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. His meeting with the Invisible Councillors. That's what an OBE is like. I don't really know what would happen if such a person is killed but can such a person be killed? It's like being conscious in a coma. Like striking a body without what the French Philosopher Henri Bergson's called the Elan Vitae. I don't anything will happen to its functionality until it returns. Use this analogy. A television or a desktop connected to a power source. You can not really say the TV or Desktop is dead, that is, no longer works, if a person comes around and hits its screen when it's not connected to a power source. You can only know what the true situation of things is after you connect it again to the Power Source. Time travel is like a miracle if true. By miracle I don't mean, something that transcends our idea of reality but something that transcends reality. It makes zero sense to me. Help me with this. How do you even go back in time? What happens in the Solar System? |

Logicbwoy: Yup . God has prescience . It does not negate . He just knows the outcomes of any action . Freewill means you have the choice of action or that carte blanche in life . He just knows the consequences of your action . |

Re: A Thread For Nigerian Secular Philosophy! by KingEbukasBlog(m): 11:24am On May 05, 2016 |
Logicbwoy: God is an all wise God . A mad man to kill or a baby to kill - the person lacks the ability to discern what's right or wrong .So the mad man or baby would not have the ability to account for his actions . That's why babies/toddlers would go to heaven no matter what and mad men's actions would be accountable before the loss of sanity . That's why the bible asked us to be ready at all times . But the interesting question is doesn't the loss of sanity preclude his opportunity for salvation ? Now looking at this, death can also prevent any other opportunity for salvation . Death/Insanity = mental death . So whatever works that were done before , he would be judged by those |

Reyginus: Rey are you simply equating OBE to dreams?? If so then you can't use it to decribe the Matrix and hence you don't really understand what the matrix is all about like you said. I can't answer how to go back in time or the future cause is not yet feasible. There are many assumptions like the black hole, warm whole and even quantum entanglement to achieve it. Sci-fi is just using these ideas to show us how it will be like. If you read and watch sci-fi so well, you will understand how it makes sense (maybe a little) with what we currently know. |

Reyginus: Hahahahaha the Physics of time is different from what you are thinking here boss.. Let me explain like i explained to logicbwoy, time can go slow, stand still but not backwards. Let me use time dilation. In two bodies fires a laser beam travelling at the speed of light, one of the bodies is stationary while the other is moving half the speed of light. If both measures the speed of the laser beam fired there will still reach the same answer. (Which normally shouldn't be so since one is almost half the speed of light so is expected it's measurement should be half less than that of the stationary one) So the thing here is for the moving body, time slows down in order to equilibrate the spatial velocity dimensions and keep the constant of light (C). So XYZ (spatial velocities) + (time )= C (speed of light) 1 Like 1 Share |

Reyginus: Time doesn't run backwards, you imagine going back in time and meet your grand father then murders him automatically you won't exist in the future therefore there is no you at all. Then if there is no you how then did you murder your grand father? . . . .Its a fun brain juggling paradox boss 1 Like 1 Share |

Logicbwoy: God just knows that you will eat ice cream tomorrow . Even if you change your mind a hundred times before the ice cream eating tomorrow , he knows . If you dont eat ice cream tomorrow , he still knows you will change your mind . But anyway some people think God being prescient means he can tell the future from the actions done in the present . Any path followed , the future can be foretold . It was a hell of an argument with my friends that day . I can't forget . 1 Like 1 Share |
