Descartes was a dualist who claimed the universe is composed of mind&matter. Today, scientists look at the world with a materialistic view: reality can be broken down strictly in matter.

What do you guys thing?

There are 7 billion people in the world. Are these 7 billion people born with just matter, mind, both mind and matter, or something else?

What is reality composed of?

I'm an analytic philosopher. Of course, it follows that I'm a materialist.

being good at math doesnt mean understanding every intricacy of how the world works

physicists would be closer to that


actually math is the backbone of determinism. math is the antithesis of god


how can math be antithesis have god have you see the movie Pi? god can be math because god doesnt have to be a person he can be a thing like math which is the rules that make up the world. just like how algebra is a language


to define it, the god of almost every religion, in other words the creator, is the big bang. god happened, god is over. thanks for happening god


ok but then god continues to happen because if the big bang spreads it spreads by equations and physics and that means that math is still happening, thus god is still happening, its just the rules


god as the creator is a force, the force was exerted onto the universe after which point it ceased and the universe unfolded in response to that force

to say god exists youd have to redefine god as the universe itself, but then it can't be the force that created itself

because math is determinism. there's no soul in it. there's no choice in it. it's a machine.

im probably better at math than you, does that mean im right and you're wrong, or is that a logical fallacy?

humans created math to describe the world in numbers

also pi doesnt "explain the world"

obviously if you create a number for the circumference of a circle, all circles will share that number

ok but explain how math can do great mathematical numbers like pi to explain the world but we can't divide by zero. its because not everything is possible in reality like you say it is.
