Why on Earth would it need to show that?
I do have large testicles. It’s true. As for my chakras … just one at a time. Mainly, if I can keep my prostrate chakra open for the most part, then I’m very content. No need to align the others.
If right triangles don’t exist, then how can you invent a theorem about them?
Because right angles exist in geometry. Whether or not they exist in nature makes no difference.
Isn’t that a bit like saying “God exists in religion. Whether or not He exists in nature makes no difference.”?
I don’t understand your question. My answer that you are altering with a substitution, is a response to your question (you know, the statement I quoted right before I typed it out)? You aren’t asking the same question, so applying your substitution doesn’t make a lot of sense. And I’m aware, that is going to go over the head of anyone who recently confused a theory with a theorem.
I guess what I’m trying to say is, perhaps you should make that substitution universal (and apply it to your question).
But for what it is worth, mathematics is not the real world; so there is absolutely no requirement for right angles to exist in the real world, to work with right angles in mathematics.
What I mean is: how relevant are a group of men from the days of Euclid drawing straight lines at 90 degree angles with rulers and compasses?
How relevant are these lines and angles, if the definition of “straight” and “90 degrees” are inherently flawed? Ie. the instruments used to draw them are assumed to be perfect.
Okay. Sounds about right.
That is not how theorems are proved; so what this has to do with the conversation, I have no idea.
I would naturally assume that any theorem or proof in Geometry would require the use of a Ruler or compass which is assumed to be “straight” or “perfectly calibrated to 90 degrees”. No?
ABSOLUTELY NOT, yikes! 
Did I just shit the bed 
on that one?
As I said, confusing theories with theorems indicated that you have a some very serious fundamental misunderstandings of what math is, and what science is. So yeah, I think you are going to be very prone to shitting the bed on those topics; over and over again.
eta: It seems to be a re-occuring theme from theists that post here (that they don’t know the difference between math and science). They are fundamentally very different.
I did go to university where I obtained a BSc. in Mathematics and Biology, so …
How about this. People often say, “We can say with mathematical certainty that a mission to the moon is possible.”
How is that different than someone saying, “We can say with Religious certainty that God is responsible for the tornado that destroyed the trailer park.”?
You should definitely get a refund if you got those degrees and don’t know the difference between a theory and a theorem.

People is dumb. I will not be held responsible for the stupid shit other people say.

Well that should settle things for the time being. Speaking of being, I am being a dog fucker and I should start doing my job for which I am paid (what’s the opposite of “handsomely”???).
Thank you for the conversation. I will be pleased to return to this later.
Except for two siblings, one followed me out at the same time, the other 3 years later…they all have nothing to do with us. Both sides of the family and extended… but the 3 of us are doing great

I’m not the one talking woo woo bullish. Give up on your Buddhist bullshit, your no true Scotsman sect, the inane explanations and just realize, you are human. You are doing nothing that billions of human beings have not done before you. There is nothing mystical, nothing magical, nothing spiritual in anything you are doing. All you have done is explore your mind but you have done it by forcing definitions and meanings onto experiences. You have swallowed the Buddhist shit, hook. line and sinker. Cultures all over the world, from the Australian Aborigines, to the North and South American Indians, to the Inuit, have all done the very same thing and attached their superstitious nonsense to the very human experience of meditating.
Well. You’re admitting that I’ve done something. That’s a change.
Thus far, I haven’t named it magical, mystical, or spiritual. I have defined it as the cessation of perception and feeling. Sense consciousness is required for sense object to make contact with sense faculty. When that sense consciousness is removed via concentration; and dispassion - then there is no contact. All tactile, and perceptual faculties remain but do not make contact with the outside world. What is left is a state of unbounded awareness.
I have described the state in terms of easy to understand ideas. I don’t know why you are jumping to the conclusion that I think I’m special; or mystical; or whatever.
If you don’t want to describe the state as it pertains to Buddhism, so be it.
As far as my “novice” categorization goes, I have aptly ruled that out. If I were a novice I wouldn’t have direct knowledge of the pinnacle of Buddhist teaching.
EDIT: What do I win for having the 100th post?
