Theory of monism panpsychism

I retract my advocation of his work.

read this imo

@Nyarlathotep

That author is a known crackpot.

Ah, Christopher Langan - Wikipedia
I see now that I’ve actually read about that person before, and video commentaries about interviews with him. Yeah, crackpot seems to be right.

Now, by definition, reality contains everything that exists. There is nothing outside reality. […] Although this mind (God’s mind) sits in knowledge of itself in an unchanging, eternal way, it contains within it all of the processes required for it to refine itself into existence out of nothingness.

This seems like a contradiction. There is nothing outside reality, but “God’s” mind is seemingly outside reality, defining itself into reality. Bollocks.

The universe can be conceived as a vast arrangement of information

It can also be conceived of as a vast cheese pizza.

Conceiving is not demonstrating.

A pizza with only cheese? That’s inconceivable to me.

Thank you guys for rebutting Christopher Langan.

I edited the wikiversity page to remove him and also add Circumstantial evidence.

Tell me what you think;

Circumstantial evidence of God

This appears to be an apologetic for young earth creationism and I have seen all these assertions before. Assertions are all that they are. If there is scientific substantiation for any of it, I’d love to see it. All I see are things like YouTube videos.

[HumbleBeauty]

“young earth creationism” teaches that a creative day is 24 hours long

I calculate that a creative day is 9,500 years long.

Can you rebut the things in the videos?

That’s nice.

@HumbleBeauty

Can you present the science that has been done here? What peer review have these claims received? In what recognized scientific journals?

[HumbleBeauty]

Well there has been years of debating atheists, studying hard, doing experiments, and writing proofs. Now I created a wikiverisity research project to get public review… and after that step it will be peer review.

[HumbleBeauty]

But these are University works that I cite;

The strange case of solar flares and radioactive elements

What is it about atheism (or this forum) that attracts crackpots?

I must admit that I sometimes have crackpot ideas myself, but I like to believe that I abandon these ideas after I’m shown to be wrong.

I consider myself to be reasonably intelligent and that I have a small talent for math and physics, yet I couldn’t follow most of this guy’s notations.

Am I just being dismissive and/or intellectually lazy?

I have just had the ghost of Captain Cat arrive with whiskers bristling and swipe me with his murder mittens. “Crappola!” He hissed! Then I swear he said “look here’s 10 IQ points you dropped under the desk, just reading this shite…”

I was about to continue the conversation but he slowly vanished all but his whiskers…and then they went as well.

@HumbleBeauty

Inasmuch as science is observational or perceptual in nature, the goal of providing a scientific model and mechanism for the evolution of complex systems ultimately requires a supporting theory of reality

That didn’t take long, begging the question fallacy.

@HumbleBeauty

Where information is the abstract currency of perception,

Sigh…

@HumbleBeauty

the theory of information while extending the information concept to incorporate reflexive self-processing in order to achieve an intrinsic (self-contained) description of reality.

Gibberish.

@HumbleBeauty

Because is amount to a proof of the existence of God.

Nope, I don’t think proof means what you think it does. It is a philosophical idea, and all one need do is flick on any news channel to see hwo much traction it has gained.

@Get_off_my_lawn

The International Society for Complexity, Information, and Design (ISCID) was a creationism advocacy organization

Well quelle surprise.

@Nyarlathotep

That author is a known crackpot.

Probably why his spiel comes across as gibberish.

" Errol Morris even directed a short documentary episode on Langan titled The Smartest Man in the World . However, his pet theory, the “Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe,” appears to the casual observer to be a steaming mound of incoherent babbling, and Langan has reportedly used ad hominem attacks against those asking him to explain it further, which does not bode well for his “misunderstood genius” claims."

It appears you were bang on the money Nyarl…

@HumbleBeauty

Circumstantial evidence of God

I don’t think it is objective evidence for any deity, or that a deity is even possible.

@HumbleBeauty

“young earth creationism” teaches that a creative day is 24 hours long

All earth days are 24 hours long?

@HumbleBeauty

I calculate that a creative day is 9,500 years long.

Get a new watch.

@HumbleBeauty

Can you rebut the things in the videos?

No need, the burden of proof always rest with the claim, you’re using an argumentum ad ignorantiam fallacy.

@mordant

So no then.

@Kevin_Levites

Everything after the A…

[Get_off_my_lawn]

Oh my, we are now at a level of crackpottery that exceeds my abilities to answer in a calm, polite and civilised manner…
