Journey to nowhere - the fifth episode
"my dear friend, I would have anything here in many applications from ports."
"You know I always listen."
"I confess that I am tempted to question on topics Difficult. About who God is, what sense might have life and other goodies like that. "
" My answer to disappoint, so if I were you, move on to something more ... soil. "
" Before we go to questions about "me" or "me-with-others" there is a fixed idea that haunts me. "
" That? "
" You women are strange, you only need someone logs there any question in two parts, which now v'incuriosite. Once you understand this trick, you can easily win you over. "
" I hope this is not the question. "
" It is not.
Imagine for a moment of primitive men. In a movie I saw one of the cavemen, the sight of his dying, he had calmed down just wishing him a pleasant journey. Wonderful! The one who assisted her to believe in something, the afterlife, life continues after death. How not to alleviating our inescapable fate with this simple belief? "
" What deep thinking! "
" We are still in the middle of the application.
continue to work of fiction. How to explain to these men the structure of the universe known to date, the theory of Big Bang , how did the universe and how it evolves? See you there to explain to them what is lightning? Or the space-time relationship? They would not understand, ask questions you crazy, putting doubts about ghosts, witches and witchcraft. It would be a shock for them and probably would not believe. Yet we know almost for certain that was the Big Bang to create the universe as we know it. Of course do not know who or what has triggered this reaction. Nor do we know why it happened. "
" It seems clear, but I have to disappoint you. It has already happened that the aborigines of the Western encounter and assimilate the knowledge, albeit with some difficulty. "
" I have not finished the question.
Given that in fact there must be an answer to all our questions about what we do not know yet, there should be a truth about how things have gone really. In theory we know if God exists, why the universe is "exploded" and what it really is dark matter ... "
"When you reach that point, maybe we could raise the dead, time travel, cure any disease and, especially, to understand why we are the world ..."
"Do not run. The fact remains that we know once and for all the truth. "
" In my approach to thinking, truth corresponds to reality . According to the Bible is the truth embodied in Jesus himself. I think that you had put in a fine mess. "
" I do not think so. I refer to the demonstrable truth. So, at most epistemology. And then you know very well how much I prefer the theory of knowledge. I think it looks better. "
"I want to support you the game. And if the universe was eternal? Or, as if a god had created an eternal universe, maybe this is not forever? How do you start in respect of 'eternal ? How could conceive of our mind? It seems a simple concept, something that does not begin and end. But there is only one example in the entire universe of something eternal. Eternity is a metaphysical concept of time, can neither touch nor prove. It is even difficult to imagine. Time is up for physicists, philosophers infinite. You choose your side. "
" So I am confused. Here, in nothing, nothing seems as it should be!
If the ontology is the study of the foundation of what exists, as the exist, if only conceivable, if it is constant, universal, verifiable, then it also implies the search for the deeper meaning of all be real. This is also relevant to the question about the very meaning of human existence that thinks and you think. Every question about the 'subject', the 'object' and their "relationship", then between "I" and "world", is also an ontological question. This is the link. It will agree with me that in this research effort is good physical understanding of the reality before the metaphysical. Perhaps there is a scientific answer to everything, and thus also to the meaning of life itself. "
" If that were the case, you would have just killed metaphysics and religion. "
" Now you are expressing the same fears of a religious, "
"After a statement so bold, I'll give you something to read. Perhaps you will clarify the ideas. O tempesterà your mind to new doubts:
"The question" Why there is, in general, the being and not nothing? "Claim the top spot because, firstly, is the largest, second because it is the deepest, then why is the original ... because that this question is the most extensive is the deepest. "Because in general there is the being ...?" ask why is like asking: what is the reason, the foundation [Grund ]? On what basis the being come from? On what foundation is based? A foundation that goes back? "
