Absolutely! As I said, there seems to be a lot of false evidence pushed, again, such as snapping an ape’s hip bone to look more like a human, therefore showing it’s early stage. I wouldn’t be so fast to shoot down some points though, such as bone structure, and genes, however it is greatly exaggerated, and again, can also point…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo

Very true! The point that the atheist would make though is that though they still have the same problem, as everyone does, that doesn’t mean that it must therefore be God, as it could be explained by natural processes. They use the term “god of gaps” for this. Saying that anything we can’t currently explain doesn’t automatically…[Read more]

@mackenzie

In my opinion, (don’t hate me for this!😄) when worldbuilding takes center stage it can read like a text book. I do appreciate worldbuilding and rigorously defined rules, especially the work that goes into them, but they’re not aspects I’m drawn to in a book. I still believe in keeping details consistent, but I’m a character driven…

@orangearmadillo

Imma back!

Again, excellent points! I think I agree whole heartedly. Although, If God coexists with mathematics, is there a set of Axioms that defined His nature? This is more related to the other forum you created, but there’s still a whole lot to ponder in this regard. I think I must disagree that asking why Picasso didn’t…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo

Fascinating point! Here I actually differ theologically concerning God being material, as I’m actually a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Regardless, the argument is interesting, however when you introduce the idea of a “concept”, you should probably define that a little more, because that’s really open…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo

That sounds really cool! You made a forum for it right? I’ll have to check it out.

Exactly. However, you’ve still touched on something very interesting concerning the nature of math. The question of whether math was invented or discovered may seem obvious at first, and you and I can agree it is the latter, however, there is a…[Read more]

A late welcome to KP! I’m the ArcaneAxiom, I love math, finding divine fundamental truth, and exploring that in my writing. I’m also big on sci-fi/fantasy. I’m currently creating a multiverse with my sister (Princessachronicle) called the Septrum.

Hard or Soft worldbuilding? (Hard meaning more rigorously defined rules…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo

Ok, so I love this forum! Though I would like to challenge your original argument for God at the beginning of the forum. A learned atheist would likely point out that you’ve used a causality argument, which they would either say “god of gaps” or if they want to think a little more, they will ask “Who caused God”. You may say He…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo

Interesting thought on hard worldbuilding. I prefer hard as well, but I don’t feel like that’s really a problem with soft worldbuilding if it’s done well. The problem with soft worldbuilding is when the writer gets lazy and lets the story contradict some aspect of worldbuilding established earlier. That might be what you…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo

A late welcome to KP! I haven’t been very active lately, but I was mentioned on your apologetics page, which I love! I’ll be hanging out there, but first, I’ll introduce myself. I’m the ArcaneAxiom, I love math, finding divine fundamental truth, and exploring that in my writing. I’m also big on sci-fi/fantasy. I’m currently…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Yep, pretty much XD

Well, the thing is by my understanding we do live in an entropic universe already. I just don’t think that a fully entropic reality is enough to create something alive, or at least sentient. God still created the Universe as we understand it, and placed us in it, but He allows the universe itself to still be…[Read more]

There’s some really cool ideas here!

One idea I actually just had earlier today was basically to combine the general religious view of creation and the more nihilistic view. So the idea is where God/gods/divine-beings of this universe come to the entropic system of reality and place spirits they created in it. So far I don’t think this is unlike…[Read more]

@otherworldlyhistorian

What makes you say that? Would it not be nice to have something else do a difficult task for you instead of having to do it yourself? Or even some tasks that may even be impossible for you to do? (I don’t think practicality is the problem, but rather the opposite.)

@keilah-h

While what you’ve said is true, that we indeed are processing the same wavelengths of light, are you so sure that we experience the same thing when processing the same color of wavelength? The input is the same, and the retinal functions are the same, but when it reaches the mind, how do you know it’s the same? This follows the same…[Read more]

@livingwoodchronicles

Nice to meet you Kylie! I’m so sorry that life has been so rough, that doesn’t sound fun at all, but I’m glad your even still able to see the Lords hands in your life! Keep counting your blessings, and He will keep pouring so many blessings out to you that you won’t have room to receive them. He loves you, and has let these…[Read more]

(We have split the idea of AI into two main groups, narrow and general. Narrow AI can only handle a particular task, whereas general can handle, well, general tasks. Of course Chatgpt can do a bunch of different things, but it is still not quite general AI, because it is restricted as a chatbot, and basically operates as a knowledge database, it…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76

Thanks!

@otherworldlyhistorian

Yeah, I’m a Senior, adult life is looking at me with hungry eyes.

That’s awesome! It’s always nice when its something you’ve just covered, especially when it comes to something like history where you have to actually know things instead of being able to math yourself out of it.

My senior project was actually more of a…[Read more]

Hi Crocheter12! Welcome to KP!

I’m the ArcaneAxiom. I love math, searching for fundamental truth, and exploring that in my writing. I prefer to read and write sci-fi/fantasy, and my current WIP is a multiverse project with my sister (@princessachronicles) called the Septrum. Congrats on all your publishing!!!
