By who?
Necessity is defined as 'unable to cease to exist'. A necessary beingness must exist, either its the universe itself or God. For the universe (matter/energy), the Principle of Conservation of Mass-Energy says matter and energy are never lost but rather transmute into each other. The problem is that we do not know if this law is eternally true. If it ever changed, or had emerged the way it is sometime in the past, it would mean that the universe could cease to exist. Also if matter and energy are also necessary then no changes could take place because it would destroy the relations within the universe, which are supposed to be necessary (unmovable). Further if the universe infinitely regresses, there is no ultimate explanation of necessary being, and it is impossible to prove. The universe existing 'for itself' is not a defensible position.
@Deleted User I'm losing you now.
I am trying to condense a lot in small format.
Do atoms have a charge from first mover or they move by themselves?
It would be much easier if you read Aquinas.
@Deleted User I've read Christian philosophers 15 years ago. Was not impressed at all.
Sure.
I switched to Buddhist
They been more rational.
The idea that matter 'moves by itself' has no explanation. It is just a vague statement.
It is an observation.
No, the observation is that matter moves. The cause is not determined by only observation.
The cause is not important. It is abstraction.
The observation is correct.
So you observe that matter moves. Congratulations.
@Deleted User You just not make abstractions on top of it.
Is it hard to do?
I guess not. But then you statement is wrong. You said matter moves by itself. But really only abstractions can allow you to think about how it moves.
The question of what kind of abstractions. How much are they detached from matter.
That's fair.
Commie cancer
In Marx's opinion Hegel had absolutely correct abstractions. But all results of his thought were wrong.
The only thing you are good at is starving yourselves
Even correct abstractions detached from matter are incorrect.
Not to mention incorrect ones.
Hitler will bomb your ass with his amazing Stukas
Watch how he fucks over Poland in just a few weeks
Losing 80% of your army to starving Slav is not a good look for the Aryan Supermen.

The only thing you Commies did that was good was kill those Muslim towelheads
did any of you vote for comrade corbyn?
14/88 and have a blessed white day, fuck Commies

@Firefly That's correct. You need to base your abstractions on observation.
Would you like to read Aquinas?
"Regarding the unity of the divine essence, we must first believe that God exists. This is a truth clearly known by reason. **We observe that** all things that move are moved by other things, the lower by the higher. The elements are moved by heavenly bodies; and among the elements themselves, the stronger moves the weaker; and even among the heavenly bodies, the lower are set in motion by the higher. This process cannot be traced back into infinity. For everything that is moved by another is a sort of instrument of the first mover. Therefore, if a first mover is lacking, all things that move will be instruments. But if the series of movers and things moved is infinite, there can be no first mover. In such a case, these infinitely many movers and things moved will all be instruments. But even the unlearned perceive how ridiculous it is to suppose that instruments are moved, unless they are set in motion by some principal agent. This would be like fancying that, when a chest or a bed is being built, the saw or the hatchet performs its functions without the carpenter. Accordingly there must be a first mover that is above all the the rest; and this being we call God."
@Deleted User thats from the time you couldn't know atoms moving themselves, right?
>But even the unlearned perceive how ridiculous it is to suppose that instruments are moved, unless they are set in motion by some principal agent.
'Atoms moving themselves'?
Do you really believe in that?
