Originally posted by knightmeister Once again you choose not to engage but scoff instead. If I were a compatabilist I could just let you off because it's inevitable , but I'm not. What I find interesting about your approach is that you think I'm talking nonsense but you somehow feel it's important to take the time to have a dig anyway. Me thinks you scoff too much!
But you ARE spamming. 3 threads for one topic? This is nonsense man, keep it to one thread.

It's a lot more than three, and I've tried to engage in a few of them.
What difference does it make? I was unaware of any rule that said you could not post a lot of threads. The threads only look repetitive to you because you are uninterested in the details (for example the subtle difference between Door 18 and 17 ) . In any case Door 18 was a direct response to whiteheads objection to door 17 , I had no plans for it.I also start fresh threads because you run out of room eventually (eg why so angry 1+2) If the mods made it so that we didn't have to click for 30 minutes to reach the end of a thread I would happily continue.
Also , many of the threads on this forum are repetitions in various forms of many of the same classical issues such as free will . Open you eyes.

I argue against causality because it's ultimately logical that causality must break down . When you think about it what caused theuniverse and what caused that (inifinite regress) or something coming from nothing or God. All these competing models have one thing in common causality starts to creek at the seams.
I do not know that free will isn't an illusion but neither do I know that my life is not a dream. What I do know is that our experience of free will is strong enough for us to question whether determinism really is the only truth to reality.

there are 3050 posts on the evolution thread, you don't scroll through all them else you might learn something.

All you have ultimately, is what aristotle, not a god said;

Sop being disingenuous.
You're mind reading like visted has been saying recently. I find the yellow triangle tedious. How do you know that I am not being honest? I know I am but how do you know , are you sure you are not projecting an aspect of yourself on to me?

It is a pain when thread go past 20 pages, but there are ways round it.
1. click on a page then modify the url where it says page=number to a higher number.
2. when you are at the end of a thread you post in regularly bookmark it there and you will be able to get back there.

I'll try it , but it still sounds a lot simpler just to continue on another thread.
