jesusjnr2020: So why did you say "sure" when you don't agree that an eyewitness of an event can have an eyewitness when he's giving an account of the event?
Because I don't understand what you're still busy arguing about what I never said after you said "sure". Because I thought you were saying an eyewitness can listen to another eyewitness. |

jesusjnr2020: Lol! You're still not getting it?
Who said anything about scribes?
I'm speaking of the human carriers/bearers of these stories from generation to generation, including the eyewitnesses of eyewitnesses of eyewitnesses of the eyewitnesses of the actual events according to my explanation. They were yet present at the time and the story in the manuscripts tallied with their general belief and tradition, hence their general acceptance of it. Oga a person listening to an eyewitness who didn't see the event themselves is not an eyewitness, what part of that do you not understand. It was scribes who did the copying, you think people went to school to learn how to read and write, like we do now, back then? No, they didn't that's why it was scribes who had learned how to read and write especially in Greek language which is what the oldest Gospel of John manuscripts were written in. |

jesusjnr2020: So you agree they originated from the original manuscript of apostle John.
If they didn't have the story as some claim, it must be that it was omitted, hence the manuscripts with the story were generally accepted because it was as it should be. Remember those alive were closest to the generation of the eye witnesses of those things, so it's hard for them to easily accept those with the story if not true.
The only way to prove it wasn't in the original manuscript written by John is to provide the manuscript, if not park well oga , let me continue to see road with the Words of Jesus in the Bible which I believe was 100% inspired of God. Of course there was an original but we have no access to it so you can't confirm what was or wasn't in it. How can the one closest to the original not have the story then the newest one have it then you say it was removed from the older one. So where did they get it to add back to the newer one? Also even if you as you suggest it was removed from the older one that still poses a problem, the scribes were editing the book. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Then How Come The Bible Is 100% The Word Of God? by LordReed(m): 10:39pm On Dec 20, 2022 |
jesusjnr2020: So tell me, what's the difference between between 2000 and 1800 years later? If that of 1800 years ago was available, why not that of 200 years earlier?
Moreover, were did the rewritten manuscripts originate from if not the original? The original was not available 1800years ago. They were written from copies of copies. They didn't have printing press or photocopy machine so every copy had to be made by hand. And they had to do that because the writing material they were using would deteriorate since they had no modern preservation techniques. So by the time P66 (the oldest surviving manuscript of the Gospel of John) was written, at least 150years had passed since the purported death of Christ, who knows how many times the copying process had already been done by then. Also as you are suggesting the copies were made from the original so why is the oldest surviving copy not having the story? |
Christianity Etc › Re: Then How Come The Bible Is 100% The Word Of God? by LordReed(m): 9:55pm On Dec 20, 2022 |
jesusjnr2020: Well if that be the case, it's quite unfortunate because that's the only manuscript that you could use to prove to me that anything was added to or omitted from what was originally written by apostle John, because anything can happen along the way. LoLz. This is so freaking funny. So the book was translated from manuscripts that were written more than 100years after the purported events but here you are almost 2000yrs later looking for the original. People 200yrs after didn't see the original talk more of you 2000yrs later. Good luck with that. LMFAO! |

OLAADEGBU: Scientists Discover Hidden Code Within Our DNA...
Scientists have discovered a secret second code hiding within DNA which instructs cells on how genes are controlled.
Ever since the genetic code was deciphered over 40 years ago, scientists have believed that it only described how proteins are made. However, research now indicates that genomes use the genetic code to ((write)) two separate languages.
Scientists discovered that the second language ((instructs)) the cells on how genes are controlled
The second language remained hidden for so long because one ((language)) is ((written)) on top of the other, scientists said.
Scientists already knew that the genetic code uses a 64-letter alphabet called codons. The research team discovered that some of the codons can have two meanings – one related to proteins, the other to gene control. Those codons were given the name 'duons
(We are twice as complex as evolutionary scientists once thought! If Darwin had only known this information..)
https://answersingenesis.org/biology/microbiology/dnas-hidden-codes/
Source So what if we are twice as complex as we first thought? How does that prove your god is real or that evolution didn't happen? BTW all these findings happened in a lab not in Bible study. LoLz. |

You don't believe everything else that was presented to us as facts in the Bible and the Gospels, except that the story of the adulterous woman was not in the original manuscript, but only an addition according to some so-called Christian scholars.
So what is your proof that what they said is the fact and not what other Christian scholars claim to the contrary?
That's why you must provide proof of what you believe otherwise I would not believe you. Seeing is now believing lol. LoLz. All this to just avoid answering a simple question. Meanwhile point to anywhere I have written seeing is believing. |

triplechoice: So where would the consciousness come from in the first place for an AI to change its software by itself and become sentient? Or how would those software change on their own to enable sentience?
The artificial neural networks in modern AI's are not exactly the same as the one in the human brain. They don't form and dissolve exactly the same way.
The former is not flexible while the latter is. What you're envisioning will never happen.
It's an impossibility for AI' to have sentience because they're machines without any form of life. Life has to be present first before any kind of sentience can happen. It's as simple as that.
There's no general consensus in the sciences where life or consciousness has emerged from. But you seem to be certain where it has emerged to be so sure that one day AI's would become sentient.
And just look at what you wrote up there. You said it's certainly not an impossibility that AI's can rewrite their own codes someday. Ha!
Honestly this is getting crazy LoLz. You know what, let's agree to disagree. You don't think AI will become sentient, I do. We'll leave it at that. My main focus for this for bringing up the show was just to get you guys thoughts on some of the more philosophical aspects the show hints at, like what is the nature of our reality, is the human mind able to be copied or any interesting thing the show made you think of. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Matter And Mind by LordReed(op): 9:14pm On Dec 19, 2022 |
triplechoice: It's you that's has not made it initially clear what path that it would take.
Now that you have said it wouldn't be biological, I am going to repeat what I already declared; AI'S, if they wouldn't evolve biologically and become sentient, would only do so when cats start to talk suddenly.
Why do I say so?
The main mechanism which makes it possible for AI's to replicate human behaviour is fixed and can only change by human intervention.
This is unlike the human brain that can evolve or devolve naturally on its own due to plasticity.
So tell us , How can something that's fixed suddenly change into another thing on its own and start operating differently?
Or do you think someday cars would suddenly grow wings and start to fly?
I am not trying to mock you here, but it's what I can only make from all you have argued so far.
And untill you can show me a little of the science which has inspired what you're envisioning concerning AI's, I would continue to place all you have been saying in the same category as the popular rapture vision of some Pentecostal Christians. We know rapture won't happen . It's crazy talk.
Where's the science about what you think. Let's discuss that, so we stop assuming about what's possible or not possible.
I have already explained that it's an impossibility from a scientific point of view and even from some other position you can think of it. LoLz. This is funny what is AI if not software and why would software not have plasticity when it can be infinitely adjusted. Unlike us biological organisms an AI would be functionally immortal. There is nothing that says AI would not change or adapt. I dunno what makes you say it is fixed. Any of the current neural network based machine learning capable AI experiments already show that capability of adapting. Right now there are commercial available AI chatbots, the new fad all the banks are using now. Its practically the same code but it can be made to serve lots of different roles or communicate in different languages. Of course we are not at the point where the AI will rewrite its own code but its certainly not an impossibility. Why do you think its an impossibility? What in science says AI cannot gain sentience? |
