Reply to comment by ConsciousLiterature in [Peter Harrison] Why religion is not going away and science will not destroy it by BasketCase0024

It doesn't exist "in this universe" though, or maybe it does. It interacts with matter in this universe. That does not necessitate that it exists in this universe.

I think that Islam is the truthful account.

I really don't think I'm deluded about the age at all. Narrow-mindedness to such a degree is only a youthful quality, literally because the brain has not fully developed yet.

But it does. Why don't you try learning some things about it?

Because it's in this universe.

Yea it does.

Ok then you believe that Mohammed split the moon in two.

>I really don't think I'm deluded about the age at all.

But you are deluded though.

>Narrow-mindedness to such a degree is only a youthful quality, literally because the brain has not fully developed yet.

And yet I don't believe a human is able to split the moon in two.

Can you go get some for me to prove it does?

Can you even prove gravity exists in this universe?

What happened one second before the Big Bang?

Science has all the answers though you say. I say that's quite a belief you have. I also say that no matter what road you go, you're believing in something.

No, I do not think Mohammed split the moon in two (PBUH).

If I am deluded about the age then you are definitely a narcissist. That's fine too. I still lean towards a little Column A, little Column B rather than just one of those though.

As I said please read some papers or watch some youtube videos on it.

I am not a physicist but yes it has been proven that gravity exists in this universe. I can't believe I am talking to a person who denies gravity exists. That's a new one.

Nobody knows. Do you?

>Science has all the answers though you say.

I never said that. Why are you putting words in my mouth. Why are you so dishonest?

Then you don't believe the quron is the truth.

Or maybe you are a person who believes things based on no evidence.

it's actually column C. You lack thinking and analytical skills. You are prone to believing things that are not true.

Because I am specifically trained in rhetoric. That's my secret in every situation I find myself in. I'm better at it than you. I also have quite a few years of life experience on you, young narcissist.

I've read enough science books to know that you cannot scientifically tell me how gravity actually fundamentally works at all. I don't deny its existence. No shit it exists. Your personal god (science/yourself) can't explain it though. What use is this science you hold above everything else when it can't even answer what should be a very trivial question? It could though! So much belief. That is a bigger leap of faith than the alternative when you actually think about it. Why do you want to be right so much in this area? Why does it matter to you inside so much? "Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?" I can clearly see which way you have chosen in response to that question lol.

>A person specifically trained in rhetoric won't be as dishonest and sleazy as you.

And yours does?

I don't hold science above everything else and I don't claim it can answer every question.

As for what good science is well I am typing this on a computer on the internet while on medication so there you go it does plenty of good.

Once you blow through all the pleasures of being "successful" and finally bottom out from it all, you start spending a lot of time focusing on personal development. What else is there that is actually meaningful to do? I found the path that works for me after all of that. You should honestly be very thankful I did.

If you are an example of a muslim who has achieved the top of personal development then no thanks. I don't want anything to do with islam and I hope to god all muslims don't act and think like you do.

A path that believes dark matter and gravity don't exist in this universe.

Disgusting.

Why?

Do you always pass such sweeping judgements so quickly, my lord? You know absolutely nothing about me beyond this very brief exchange in which I have been purposefully dismissive and avoidant of several of your questions. You started out the conversation with an immediately insulting tone, and yet I have still treated you with far more respect than you deserve. I am Buddha for being able to deal with people like you. You must have a TON of friends lmfao.

>A path that believes dark matter and gravity don't exist in this universe.

You have yet to provide a singular source that proves that they do. You cannot prove exactly what they are or how they function, what they are even comprised of. Therefore you cannot make such a statement. The fact that you continue to distort this position so severely yet throw out the insults you do proves the narcissism. I have a lot of experience dealing with narcissists. What I love most is that they can never not respond.

I was not a very nice person.

Do you object to being judged by your words and actions? How else should I judge you?

>You know absolutely nothing about me beyond this very brief exchange in which I have been purposefully dismissive and avoidant of several of your questions.

I have based my opinion on this exchange. Everything is based on things you said.

>You started out the conversation with an immediately insulting tone, and yet I have still treated you with far more respect than you deserve.

You haven't treated me with any respect at all.

>I am Buddha for being able to deal with people like you. You must have a TON of friends lmfao.

I do have a ton of friends. None of them believe gravity and dark matter exist outside of the universe though and oddly enough none of them have demanded I tell them how gravity works.

>You have yet to provide a singular source that proves that they do.

Pick up any science book. Have you provided some evidence that they exist outside of this universe?

>What I love most is that they can never not respond.

Is that why you continue to respond?

What gives you the inherent right to judge anyone? God.

>Pick up any science book. Have you provided some evidence that they exist outside of this universe?

My only argument here is that I personally find it odd that science always comes tantalizingly close to these answers. Like 98%. But never 100%.

That's not an argument.

Can you prove gravity and dark matter exist outside of the universe?

I'm not interested in your opinion on this particular subject honestly. I am on the more general subject.

How much respect do you think you inherently deserve? I have certainly treated you with magnitudes more respect than you have me. Have I thrown an insult or two in? Yes.

>There is no god.

But you exist. You judge people like you are god. Why are you not the god of your own universe?

There is no god. I judge people like I am a human being who judges people based on the things they say and do.

One trait of a narcissist is that they always approach the world in very black or white thinking. Only absolutes. What do you think about that?

>I judge people like I am a human being who judges people based on the things they say and do.

Would that be the role of god if they did exist?

>I don't have a universe.

Are you the god of yourself?

I think that your position is a further leap from where humanity stands with its current knowledge of the universe than mine is. I have my own hypothesis as to why it is the preferred stance.

You certainly seem to be. Maybe it's a trait common in religious people. After all if you think there is some omniscient omnipresent being that created the universe and you think this being actually cares about you, what you eat, who you have sex with and why, where you touch yourself on your own body etc that's pretty narcissistic.

I don't think that at all.

But not you? I can assure you I do not meet the clinical definition or anything close to it. I have a plethora of Psychologists who have said so. I got sued and paid for a couple of lawyers' and multiple psychologists vacations and kids' college funds. I do not question at all where I clinically lie on any of those scales.

Part of what I just said was a lie. I continue to respond because the overwhelming majority opinion among Psychologists is that you can never change a narcissist. Never in a meaningful way. I don't want that to be true inside for reasons that are my own. So, I experiment with that.

Personally, I am an empath. Doesn't mean I can't have narcissistic tendencies. Everyone does to some degree. I am not always a good person either as you have pointed out, but I try to be.

Your freedom of speech ends at the point where it infringes on someone else though. Passing judgement on someone else can also be called libel, or slander.
