No

oh

why not simply an eternal universe

it's against the laws of physics

How come there would be an eternal universe when big bang says otherwise

Cosmic background radiation and what not

But, in general we reach a paradox

also at that level you're saying that everything is determined by the start of the universe. then the idea that the superstructure is determined by the base is wrong-> both are determined by the big bang

A causeless event

So the question reverts back to what made this start of things?

Which is a given that is assumed by physics

No I dont think we can ever determine that

but we don't really know what happened at the big bang we can only get to within the last split second but its still important. there are competing theories

Should ethics be concerned about this?

It still comes down to a causeless event

Knowing the beginning of everything?

Ehh up to them lol

Right but that just shows science can't explain everything lambo

it's rather a hard question

I never stated science could explain everything

That is truthfully sad

I do state that science can explain the material conditions around us

Which still give ways for religion to subjugate others because science can't give enough

including the human condition that we live in every moment

but if it can't exlain everything it can't really explain anything

It can explain everything materialistc

It can explain everything

but it is not probable

atm

we don't even know if we're gonna get hit by a big rock in the next decades

or so

We're rather in a stuck issue with being a tiny blot in an empty vast space

assuming there is no other life forms

But I'm not really against materialism, it's not a big deal to me. My big issue then is that "ideas" are just as material as the sun. I hate the constant harping about "idealism" because brains are material objects and i think marxists neglect the role of ideology as the software of human brain hardware

I am almost entirely against idealism

From a scientific standpoint

So Marxists should take into consideration the concepts of what exactly?

I could understand absorbing it in political strategies

but aren't ideas material? answer me

but philosophically?

That's hard.
