Nobody is equal. Individuals aren't equal to themselves on some days. People all have equal rank in terms of being human, but this is not the same as being equal generally. I have often wondered what it would be like to 'step into' somebody elses body for a bit and think their thoughts (while...

I have read it. It's pretty good.

Woohoo! My thread has made it to five pages. What are you peoples favourite areas of philosophy?

Whats the type of book called when it's about the collapse of society/rebuilding society? That's my favourite at the moment and I recommend reading The Day of the Triffids. I read it in year 7 and again in year 9, because I liked it so much. We never had to do it for school, but I know some...

I am so annoyed that it is going to be on the 18th, 2 days before my 18th b'day!

I leave this topic alone for just a few days, because it was going pretty slow, I come back and find a lot has happened. I am glad sei has taken up my stance, I am not very good at arguing the points. Besides, I was really just trying to provoke other people to discuss it, so that I wouldn't...

If you believe that, then you have your answer. But surely that only works for Jews and Christians? Are there other religions which believe in an omnipotent, omniscient, benevolent God? If so, how do they explain natural evil? Also, you didn't answer all my questions. Ok, say God does allow...

I read Enders Game. I quite enjoyed it and read the following books. I still haven't read the most recent one yet though. I have also read Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, but I think that would come under comedy.

I have read 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke. The book is good, but the movie sux. Contact, br Carl Sagan The Shining, by Stephen King The Republic, by Plato *can download it from http://promo.net/pg/ *

A thread for all you sci-fi fans!

Wow! was this forum made today? Maybe we should make different threads for different genres and say this <insert period of time here> we will be looking at <insert genre here> and they go to that thread, but the people who aren't interested at all in that genre can have a look at a different...

If God is omnipotent then He should be able to create a world with free will and no evil. Although having free will means there is the possibility of people doing evil, why should this ever have to happen? Why couldn't we all have free will but always decide not to commit evil? And besides...

But surely if He knew everything then He would know a way that we could have free will without evil? And is having free will the best thing for us?

Those are ok questions, but just because an ocean is deep doesn't mean one has to drown, what about good swimmers? Maybe you should have asked can He make an ocean so large (which covers deep, wide and long). I like the one, can God create a wall that not even He (referring to as he because...

:) Good questions McLake *gives thumbs up*. I think of similar questions when traveling through a city, and I feel as though I'm traveling through a human zoo. All those people thinking about different things, I wonder if they think the same way though. I was talking to a friend of mine...

I was wondering if anyone else had an interest in philosophy? Are you interested in any specific branches? Got any good philosophical questions for others to ponder (and reply to)?

hehe, good one! I wonder how many people can identify with it?

I already have done this poll. It is listed under - How easy was IPT? and my poll question was - How did you find the IPT exam?

I put like audio, graphics... etc.

I agree. Those were along the scales I was thinking when I worded it actually. Oh and I edited Huy's quote because having a smiley face after anger didn't make much sense.
