/pol/ is an echo chamber.

2017-06-08 02:38:52 UTC  

Yeah

2017-06-08 02:38:54 UTC  

I hate /pol/

2017-06-08 02:46:35 UTC  

I posted there everyday for 6 months.

2017-06-08 02:46:40 UTC  

But I reformed.

2017-06-08 02:49:38 UTC  

I used to lurk a ton

2017-06-08 03:05:54 UTC  

Aquinas kept me awake last night.

2017-06-08 03:06:08 UTC  

I hope tonight will be different.

2017-06-08 03:07:31 UTC  

@Deleted User are you reading him after Greeks?

2017-06-08 03:07:31 UTC  

Aquinas?

2017-06-08 03:07:45 UTC  

Like the Particracy moderator?

2017-06-08 03:07:48 UTC  

Oh, no.

2017-06-08 03:07:54 UTC  

A philophor.

2017-06-08 03:07:56 UTC  

or...

2017-06-08 03:08:02 UTC  

I can't spell

2017-06-08 03:08:38 UTC  

Yes, Thomas Aquinas. Specifically the First Mover argument. Science does not contradict it. And I can't find any good refutations.

2017-06-08 03:08:53 UTC  

It is driving me crazy.

2017-06-08 03:09:05 UTC  

*Because it's true*

2017-06-08 03:09:13 UTC  

No.

2017-06-08 03:09:15 UTC  

what is true?

2017-06-08 03:11:14 UTC  
2017-06-08 03:11:18 UTC  

@Firefly I read Greek philosophy several years ago. I got into a discussion yesterday about God and was referred to Aquinas. He refutes a lot of the Greeks, so does most philosophers, and scientists.

2017-06-08 03:11:28 UTC  

That's a poor video.

2017-06-08 03:11:59 UTC  

But yes, that's the Argument.

2017-06-08 03:12:45 UTC  

The problem is that time and motion had a beginning.

2017-06-08 03:12:49 UTC  

I think there is no first move.

2017-06-08 03:13:03 UTC  

Its an eternal movement.

2017-06-08 03:13:19 UTC  

But science tells us there was a beginning in time and motion.

2017-06-08 03:13:56 UTC  

One of the theory made popular tells, yes.

2017-06-08 03:14:40 UTC  

There are different opinions and theories

2017-06-08 03:14:55 UTC  

Are you familiar with Soviet physicists, Lifshitz and Khalatnikov?

2017-06-08 03:15:10 UTC  

Turns out their theory was wrong.

2017-06-08 03:15:37 UTC  

So?

2017-06-08 03:16:05 UTC  

It is not about opinions.

2017-06-08 03:16:31 UTC  

Versions

2017-06-08 03:16:36 UTC  

Are different.

2017-06-08 03:17:48 UTC  

One popular idea inspired by Judaism and Christianity is not necessarily correct.

2017-06-08 03:18:41 UTC  

That's not what I am say. I am saying that science shows, especially in the last decade or so, that the universe had a beginning. And because of this, the First Mover argument is hard to refute.

2017-06-08 03:19:18 UTC  

@Deleted User Which theory you are talking about?

2017-06-08 03:20:51 UTC  

Do you mean the science or the argument?

2017-06-08 03:21:35 UTC  

I mean how the theory of physics you are with is called?
