Results • Only through experience, but even then, we will never be sure as senses can be erroneous. - 13.89% • Only through reason and reason alone can we achieve universal truths. - 8.33% • Though all our knowledge begins with experience, it does not mean it arises out of it. Innate reason plays a part. - 27.77% • No possible way because truth as such does not exist, it is relative to one's perspective. Your truth is different from mine. - 30.55% • As Patrick Star says, sometimes we only need to go deeeeep inside ourselves to solve our problems. And find truth! - 5.55% • Who cares I got bills to pay! - 13.89% Q2: Where does consciousness come from? Results • Natural evolution. Our more recent understanding suggests that it's a network of neurons. - 45.28% • It's an illusionary construct of the human limitation to see the world in fragments. Once enlightened the truth of Oneness emerges. - 16.98% • It is our little piece of God who reflects His Being onto us. - 15.09% • What relevance is there of consciousness when all we could be aware of is our own existence? See Plato's Cave allegory! - 9.43% • Who cares I got bills to pay! - 13.20% Q3: Why is there something rather than nothing? Results • Because a creator made something from nothing! Anselm and Aquinas both provide some insights worth checking. - 19.44% • Anthropic principle - reality, the universe, appears the way it does because we are present in it as observers. - 22.22% • Quantum gravity - because of this, the universe can/will come from nothing. - 11.11% • Anti-matter! Haven't you read Dan Brown?! - 19.44% • Who cares I got bills to pay! - 27.77% Edited by New Rogernomics, Sep 25 2015, 07:30 AM.
