    One thought about the divine conceptualism defended by Redeemed Zoomer that I forgot to mention at the end:
    On divine conceptualism, propositions are identical to God’s thoughts. For humans, propositions are the contents of our thoughts-they’re what our truth-apt thoughts and sentences and beliefs are about. But how can God’s thoughts be ‘about’ anything? His thoughts are supposedly identical with the propositions in question! It’s unclear how God could think about propositions, or anything, which would mean God’s mind lacks intentionality entirely. He can’t think about any proposition, mathematical or otherwise, because his thoughts are the propositions. If he can’t think about anything, then in what sense does God have thoughts at all? How can he have beliefs if his mind lacks intentionality? If God’s ‘thoughts’ don’t have contents because they are the contents, does it even make sense to say God has thoughts?
    First, this calls into question the coherence of divine conceptualism. Second, God’s lack of intentionality seems to be a prima facie problem for his omniscience, since he can have no beliefs about propositions or have any thoughts about propositions.

      Hi @EmersonGreen
      I'm not understanding that part you said about realism being "desirable". Like, desirable _for what?_ Under what circumstances would the realism/non-realism debate make a difference to a normal person's desires?
      It sounds as weird as saying "it's desirable for the mass of the neutrino to be non-zero" or something.

      There's a very big difference between Religion and true scripture..
      Example, Father's name is not only 4 power WORDs YHUH aka YHWH, it is also represented in his sigNATURE 🔯, sign in nature, the star tetYAHedron. It's mathematical, tonal, and cymatic, allow us to know how all things are KINnected on the material plain.
      YaHU'aH the 4|For power WORDs = tetYHUHgrammarten, in the shortest definition is; SOVEREIGN ETERNAL SUPREME IMMORTAL POTENTATE, and via sonic implosion creates light 🔯, the Star TetYHUHhedron 🔯, YaHs sigNATURE aka sign in nature.. his glory the lilly 🌷

      2 Esdras 5:24
      “And of all lands of the whole world thou hast chosen thee one pit: and of all the flowers thereof, one Lillie🔯.”
      MatithYahu 6:28-29 Gift of YaHU'aH🔯
      28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
      29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
      As in the many flowers of the field, the Lilly, Iris, tulip and mulberry, peppers, and many more. All display, Father's Great sigNATURE🔯, in flower form.
      Psalms 91:4
      He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: YaHU'aHs🔯TRUTH shall be thy shield and buckler. As King David did, {rather ∆au∆}, placed YaHs sign, on his shield🔯, buckler🔯, & breastplate🔯
      Ayob 38:2 words with knowledge
      As with all beautiful words spoKIN, even eternity, TRUTH, Harmony, Love, and Joy, so each Mandelbrot forms🔯around this sigNATURE🔯 cymatic tone. And no matter how many times, each word is written or spoken, the cymatic image of each, tho unique, still remain in the same form🔯. See Dr. Emoto Masuro & Prof. Luc Montagnier.
      Ayob 38:22

      21 Because that, when they knew YaHU'aH, they glorified him not as AllahAYnu, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
      22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
      23 And changed the GLORY 🔯 of the uncorruptible YaHU'aH🔯 into an image made like to corruptible man (J.C.✝️), and to birds, ( 🦅,eagle) and four footed beasts, ( 🐂bull), and creeping things, ( 🐍snake- don't tread on me).

    I really enjoyed this. I think RZ was essentially gish-galloping through a bunch of unsubstantiated points.
    1) Things that only exist in our mind.... that's what we typically call: *not* existing, not supernatural. Math doesn't need to exist to be important. Just as you can say false things about fictional characters, I think we can have mathematical statements that are true without any grounding in reality.
    2) Math doesn't control the universe; the universe does stuff, and we use math-language to describe it because it's the most convenient.
    3) Sure math has potentially infinite information, but that in no way implies omniscience; even if I grant that it has to be a mind, having infinite knowledge is not the same as having _all_ the knowledge. An infinite hard-drive that stored all infinitely many even numbers doesn't necessarily contain _all_ numbers.

    As far as St. Francis Xavier goes-- Think about pasteurization of milk. It is possible to heat something to a high enough temperature to kill off the bacteria that would decompose it without burning it. If you did that to a body and then placed it in an environment that was very hot and dry, like severe hot weather in an arid or desert environment or an extremely heated room until it was completely dehydrated, then you could keep it preserved indefinitely as long as you kept it in very dry air. You can bet that the church keeping that body is turning up the heat whenever the weather turns rainy and humid. I used to collect deerskins from the dump during hunting season to make into buckskin. I would stretch them on a frame and dry them out. I could keep them for years, indefinitely, without them decomposing just as long as I kept them dry. Mummification is actually just dehydration. In ancient Egypt they used to add spices or other substances to the mummies. These were toxic anti-microbial substances. There is a church in Mexico where they have a whole hallway of dried out priests hung up on the wall. I think it's in an extremely dry desert area.

    13:37 it’s neither. The prospect of math failing to describe the details of the world is not a coherent option, and math itself is how we reason about arbitrary structures, which all starts with definitions thereof, which are also arbitrary. Whenever a matching structure is found, it is unavoidable fact that the abstract conclusions against the model are reflected in the thing being modeled, as far as that match is accurate. It is not a coincidence, not a miracle nor necessarily entirely planned, especially when chaotic systems are involved. I would say we develop math, which by necessity converges along lines wherever it appears useful.

I can in fact prove that knowledge is not recollection. It goes like this: sound reasoning can be simulated on a computer. At no point does a reasoning algorithm need to retrieve its conclusions from memory, for they aren’t in memory. The way it actually works is that intermediate conclusions are synthesized based on the pattern of previous premises. When a new conclusion is written, it really is new. The exact same logic applies to humans, running the exact same algorithm. Therefore humans are not retrieving memory when they reason soundly unless they have followed part of an argument already.

    We’re all confused on the definition of science tbh. I’d say this guy had a definition of science based on a strict understanding of the scientific method which does rule out supernatural or conscious agency. That is to say if science requires repeatable physical demonstrations then it cannot detect anything supernatural. If we observed a repeating pattern in the natural world that would not be evidence for anything supernatural or conscious. The evidence must be events beyond human control and not predictable based on any events in the natural world. Thats what makes it supernatural, that an event in the natural world proceeds from causes which cannot be observed in the natural world.
    The discovery institute uses a more liberal interpretation by which forensic science can also be science. It really is just a matter of how you define the word and what sort of evidence you consider authoritative.

    Saints don't decompose? That suggests that a saint is his corpse. But if you know much about Thomistic metaphysics, you know what a substantial change is. When a thing changes substantially, it becomes something else. A cigarette changes substantially when a flame turns it into a pile of ashes. After that happens, there's no way to rebuild the destroyed cigarette. When I die, my body will become a corpse because my soul will leave it.
    Read St. Those Aquinas's book On Being and Essence. It'll tell you that Thomas is a corruptionist. A corruptionist believes that although a person stops existing when he dies, his soul survives. Thomas teaches that each human person is composed of a human body and an immaterial human soul. So, what gets corrupted? The composite. My body and my immortal soul are parts of me. I'm neither of them.

    Mathematical objects are not entities, but they can describe or map onto entities. We pick the mathematical objects to describe the entities. But the math we can do with that object is irrelevant if that mathematical object doesn't well describe the entities. Math is just the logic of quantity. There are quantifiable entities, so math can apply to the world. No God needed. Theistic argument, from anything interesting or cool to God, because God somehow gets credit for any good or cool thing. The good or cool thing would evidently not be there if not for God. And somehow God "explains" it, He just does, ok?

Origin of life scientists say, that a minimum of 206 different types of proteins are needed for our first ancestor. Now, some of those protein molecules are 1000 amino acids long, and need anywhere from 10 to 500 thousand copies of themselves depending on there location in the cell. Sir Fred Hoyle, any probability greater than or equal to 1 Chance in 10 to the 50th power would constitute a Miracle. Well, just one small protein, of 150 amino acids long--the chance of it coming together by chance in Darwin's little pond, is 1 Chance in 10 to the 77th power. Now a small cell needs 41 million protein molecules, 206 different types, upto 1000 amino acids long, and upto 500 thousand copies all at the same time..
    Now throw in 400 Million lines of DNA to program those proteins, and then both a replication, and translation system BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION AND MINE (and getting more complicated by the day) AND YOU BELIEVE IN FAIRY TALES if you think that could happen by CHANCE in this universe in Darwin's Little Pond even in a trillion, trillion 10 to the 18 power seconds (13.6 billion years).

      No. If some branch of math doesn't relate to anything in the world, then it is a branch of math that doesn't relate to anything in the world. Math isn't obliged to take any test posed by the world.
      Roger Penrose has an interesting tribulation of reality into the natural world, math and consciousness as independent but interactive domains.
      I am also inclined to say that math is discovered rather than invented. The basic philosophy is called mathematical platonism. I have never heard a single mathematical platonist call math supernatural, and certainly not in the sense that ghosts and gods are supernatural.
      The things we do clearly have control over is which mathematical domains to study, which problems to tackle and things like that. Humans and sometimes specific humans can be said to have developed a given field or cracked a specific problem - through discovery, not invention.

      @johnrichardson7629 I have to politely disagree. Just because we don't know what a mathematical equation is describing, doesn't mean it isn't describing something in nature, or something that could possibly exist in nature. Math equations can fail because they don't follow the rules laid out in math. Numbers and letters are just place holders that describe reality. Once established, math can be used like our imaginations and create concepts and theories using languages.

      @@dustinellerbe4125 Yes, there is a long history of some bit of advanced math being discovered and an application found only years, decades or even centuries later. My point is that finding an application isn't what validates the math. The math validates itself and if no application is ever found, that validation isn't rescinded.

      @johnrichardson7629 that's bc the math is conceptual. Just like using words, the math replaces the words used to describe such an object, real or conceptual. You can use words in a manner, as well as numbers to create a coherent non contradictory description of something and not know if such a thing exists or not. Just replace the words with numbers to describe location in space, size, function, features, etc. Math is a language just as English is a language. It can describe real and conceptual things. A unicorn isn't real, but words and numbers can be used to describe it. The same with any coherent mathematical formulation. As long as it's non contradictory, it can be used to describe something real or conceptual, but the numerical system was based on real things as placeholders. Same with words. Words are placeholders and have been used to create concepts as well as describe reality.

The origins of mathematical inquiry are interesting but the ultimate destinations are vastly more so.

      You said that thoughts, dreams, logic... etc, are impossible to be immaterial under a naturalistic point of view.
      This argument is invalid because it pre-supposes that thoughts, logic, consciousness are immaterial entities to begin with.
      They are not. We do have a natural explanations for the dreams, thoughts, logic, consciousness (though we don't have a definitive answer to coinsciousness, we figured out much of it, and all of it was natural). I won't go into details about thise explanations here, but the short answer is that they are a product of the brain.
      Again, if you pre-suppose that naturalism can't explain entities X or Y, of course it won't be able to explain them; you already pre-supposed that it can't!
      As for the argument from incredulity part, I am not wrong about it. Let me show you why
      The argument from incredulity is asserting that a proposition must be false because it contradicts one's personal expectations or beliefs, or is difficult to imagine.
      You did exactly that. You claim that under a naturalistic point of view, dreams, logic... etc, cannot be explained under that view, since they're immaterial.
      You imply that naturalism is false by saying that in your comment. The reason why you think naturalism is no reason other than that you think and ecpect those phenomena (dreams, logic... etc) to be immaterial and non explainable under naturalism.
      The definition of an argument from incredulity applies to your case. This is why I accused you of it.
