True things measure up to the truth

There are no absolutes in science

Untrue things don’t measure up to the truth

Right

What do you mean

Because there’s always a gap between your truth claim and the truth

The truth is higher than your truth claim

Why are you saying truth claim

What do you mean by truth claim

Because that’s the best we can do is make claims of the truth

Gravity isn’t disproven. It’s hardened by many experiments

But it’s still a truth claim

But it’s not absolute

It’s probably true! But it’s still not the truth

Exactly

It’s not absolute. Exactly

That’s why they don’t use the word truth in science

Because nothing is absolute

But in order to test anything, you are aiming at truth

Don’t see what you’re trying to get at

Sure

You just never hit it all the way

You can aim at it

Right so you assume there’s a truth to aim at

Good. We are on the same page there 🙂 but I really have to go. I think I need to close the discord app so I don’t get sucked in haha. Continue later or tomorrow?

Yes I’d like that. Talk to you later

Different use of the word. But I like the meme heh

Yea me too 😛

Statistically atheists, Buddhists, pagans, and some Jews, have median IQ well above global averages.

However, I hear "theres" "athiests" who are exceptions to that statistical pattern?

I certainly don’t claim to have a high IQ

iq is an illusion

What makes you think that

Sounds like someone who scored low on an IQ test

Jk

Paradox of Perfection

1. If God exists, then He's perfect
2. If God exists, He is the creator of the universe
3. Perfect beings must create perfect things
4. The universe is not perfect
5. There's no God

It's what a lot of these arguments and lofty metaphorical statements about the nature of God sound like

Why is there only one well known low IQ society (MENSA, 98th percentile), but 4 "Triple 9'er" groups, that argue viciously about valid metrics for -g- ?

In the pinch around Sigma 4, how many people who make claims of sexism in high intellectual demand jobs, realize or admit there are 5 times as many men as women?

There is no “if god exists then”

The understanding is that God is the source of creation. Not “god the man in the sky”

“That which allows for existence is God”

Your premises are flawed; make no sense.

You cannot talk about “existence” without first assuming existence exists

Also, “the universe is not perfect” puts you in the chair of God if you’re deciding that. Perfect by what standard? It’s exactly as it is.
