ST, I, Q.23, A5 ST, II/1, Q.112, A1 CCC, 600

It's almost as if the teachers of the Catholic Church taught predetermination.

I was under the impression that St. Augustine was rather important for the Catholic Church.

Good to know. But then don't call your doctrine Christian.

Because it's the word of god. D'uh.

Oh yeah, a made up theology is totally legit especially if it contradicts scripture.

That's not for you to judge. A tool can't judge its creator.

Yes. Indeed. Why not? God can't be evil. If he were, he would be imperfect and could not be æternal. Hence his judgment is justified. The sinners have been predetermined to hate God. Haters gonna hate. Good Lord, are you an anti-nomian???

If you had read the bible passage I posted, you might have noticed that God intended Saul to be evil by sending an evil spirit. There are many other places where god wants kings to be evil to punish nonbelievers or his own people. You are up to something. Use your keen intellect and go down that route.

Too bad that god using evil kings is a trope all over the Old Testament.

Bump.

They launched a satelitte, so they can put an atomic bomb on a rocket as well. However, the problem with ICBM is the re-entry vehicle. Building those is a non-trivial task. Most likely they can't nuke other places, but they have the power to create an emp device which would fry the electronics in a big area.

Sure, but that was at a time when it took a lot of man-hours to build a car and when unskilled laborers could work in production after a short training time with the machines they were working with. If you have a look at page 2 of https://www.bls.gov/mlr/2006/03/art3full.pdfyou will see that the percentage of jobs were automation was introduced has gone back from 1910 to 2000. Newer statistics give you the same picture. If an industry competes with marginal costs of production, and the operational steps can be automated, the number of jobs in that industry will decrease over time. It's not simply that some jobs like typists will disappear but that whole branches will be automated. If your jobs depend on making fast decisions (say 5 - 30 seconds) your job can as well be done by a machine or a computer, when the workflow has been standardized and adjusted.

Being a superhero violates the laws of physics and biology, atomic bombs don't.

Well they tested some, so chances are high they have some spare ones.

How is that relevant to mental states and neurology? Also, you don't need to understand the exact nature of mental properties to make statements about them. If you imagine a brain as a Turing machine, you can make statements about mental properties, other behaviour, limitations and so on. This is a popular misunderstanding. You don't test the p values of a hypothesis, but that of the null hypothesis. If the p value of the null hypothesis is below 0,02 either the null hypothesis is false and the hypothesis is correct or a an extreme rare event happened.

The definition is that an axiom is a premise that is taken to be true and that serves as a starting point for further investigations. It doesn't mean that it is true or can be proven to be true. That is also why different axioms lead to different systems in logic and math.

Obama was pressured just as much, yet he resisted. It's time to wake up to the option that the Trump supporters have been had and that Trump is a reality TV show host who buckles under pressure or worse that he never intended to implement his positions from the campaign.

Automation will affect white collar jobs as well. Whole branches like clerks, paralegals and so on will disappear.

That. You can speed up the progress by reducing a part of a text to its core theses / arguments using intendation. Thesis of paragraph(s) Argument for thesis Supporting argument Argument for thesis Supporting argument Supporting argument Further supporting argument This allows you to see the argumentative structure of a text instantly and to memorize it to the level you want.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_basis_of_selfis where I got the info from. There are some case studies where a person changes the personality after specific parts of the brain are damaged. That's a fascinating idea, but I would put it differently. Mental properties aren't meant to be a true information of the world, they are meant to be a good enough representation that makes it possible that the genes can be passed. The function of an eye and the visual cortex is to make future eyes possible by passing on genes, not to give an exact representation of the world. Natural selection hence came up with different represenations of the reality for different kinds of animals. A bird of prey sees the world differently than a mouse. Both are adapted to their enviroment. There are simple tests to check if your eyes give you a real picture of the world or not. See more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccade

That depends on how you define success. If you define in terms of biology, biomass is a good indicator. The reason for consciousness being ubiquitous in humans could be a bottleneck scenario, where a small group of self aware hominids survived a catastrophe. Well, you can look for neurological damage with persons who lost the sense of 'I' or self and then compare if there are damages to specific parts of their brain. It seems that when the parietal lobe is damaged, you can lose that feeling.

Where? Vapor means gas and skin is skin, and penetrate means to penetrate. Where is my mistake?
