life help: Nevermore. - Help.com

true but human curiosity drives people to ask why and how? and we can make a lot of educated guesses that have evidence that would agree with them. But it is true we can never know for sure. Just as we can never know for sure that we exist at all. We are limited to what we can know and we do our best :)

Well, we thought we would never reach the moon at some point. America never thought they would be free from Britain. We never thought we could measure the speed of light. The idea of the light bulb atone point was a joke. It all starts with an idea and develops when you work towards it. You’ll never know, maybe we won’t know in our lifetime, but it’s never out of the question. :)

that is true you dont want to be defeatist about it. People having an idea and daring to dream is what has fueled most discoveries.

p.s. is it worth pointing out that people didnt think the world was flat, its a comman misconception, that was proporgated by the song with christopher collumbus in.

lol, good point.

I must admit as a physicist myself im intreiged to hear your theory about negative force and energy spheres :)

*applause*

I am God, and all I can say is that nobody’s gotten it right yet.

SO STOP TELLING ME WHAT THE TRUTH IS, BECAUSE YOU DON’T KNOW.

I’m rarely impressed by people’s guesses as to what I do or do not know. I’m often very impressed by what other people tell me of what they know, but it can be misleading. It’s nice to have surety of direct knowledge, beyond that consensus reality is fine if we can all agree to find any meaningful common ground in the first place.

^He speaks! :P

Did I speak something that made any sense?

Naw, I just hardly ever see you reply to anything lol.

If we had an answer to all questions, we would have nothing left to discover. Part of life is discovering things. A man landing on the moon was a thing laughed at until they discovered a way to reach it and we did. Life is a discovery. Would you want to know the reality? If we knew answers we would not have different points of view to share because we would all agree on fact…does that make sense? :)

I agree. But there is no use getting frustrated with people who claim to ‘no all the answers’. Some people need answers and are not able to handle the unknown.. The unknown is to scary….so it is filled with science…religion…philosophy
But we are always ignorant
no matter what the bible, parents, governments…etc dictate

Slightly off topic. But im intreigued as to why people group science and religion, together like this. Is it becuase people dont understand the nature of science and so think think that its discoveries are equivalent to religious reteric?

I mean it just seems to me people dont understand what science is, as realistically they are opposite.

Science never states it knows anything. The possition of science is that nothing can ever be proved only ever disproved. ITs a contant fluid state of what we think might be happening. This is why they are called theories not truths.

Religion tell us this is the way things occured and this is the truth of the situation. It professes to know the answers which science doesnt.

It just seems weird to me that we group these two opposites together. AS one comes up with a theory and says it is true, whilst the other observes what occurs and tries to explain it with ideas that constantly are checked and updated.

The nature of science? Nature? Science, collective properties built up combined and tested to form a bigger picture. The ‘discoveries’ are something to be proud of considering how far we’ve come but if some of what is stated in the bible did happen then it would take a bloody long time to apply different theories of science behind it. I think they are put together because they are opposite thought processes..but yeah not sure.. for me it is

I don’t necessarily need “answers”, but the level of my not-knowing is way beyond normal red-alert-danger levels. Perhaps conducting a scientific experiment on a philosophy book in a government-sanctioned church might be helpful?

i wasn’t saying u needed answers, i only said to you that i agreed with what u said previously.
