No because someone has allowed your account access. That won't last much longer. ;)

Sorry to dissappoint you....

60-80%

More like 83% but that's just my opinion.

Ohh....BUMP  8)

Hmmm....this sounds like your debating me...  Yet there is no debate, so that would mean you are debating yourself?
Pointing out that it is not a debatable topic is debating? ::)

He is rationalizing that the debate is now whether or not a debate formerly existed. What this means is, nothing this person ever says will ever garner another response from me, because he is clearly here for no reason but free time.

Well that's what you think.....but how do you know that's not what I want you to think?

Maybe I am a soul who flew down to Earth and logged on just to mess with you?

Or...  maybe I've posted a question, whether debatable or not has stimulated over 100 responses in shorter a time frame than anything here.

Maybe that hurts your ego?

Awwww..... it's ok 21 year old Canuck who thinks he knows it all but couldn't spell inertia if a cup of coffee flew in his lap while making a left turn.

Yaaaaa dare aye.

A soul cannot be defined, because any definition of it is an opinion, because there exists no proof a soul exists. This leads one to conclude that anything assigned a soul is an erroneous assignment, because the presence of said soul cannot be validated by any concept under the sky in which you have somehow managed to remain breathing, despite your obstinate refusal to admit your "debate" simply does not exist.

And the Raspberry for "Best Comedy Thread Concept" goes to...

Its artifical-intelligents. 
A computer cannot think for itself.  No matter how many viruses it has. 

A computer alone cannot think for itself. The software/firmware tells it what to think and say. Technically, it could think for itself provided it was programmed really complexly.

Soul: many definitions exist, but the common theme is a relation to life.

Seperating a soul from its host causes death.

To seperate my body, you must seperate my soul.

To seperate a computer, you must seperate its soul.

My seperated body, will die. Either the seperated portion, or the whole.

My computer seperated, can live and function. While a finite limit on seperations exist, the computer can exist as 2 or more individual and seperate parts.

Therefore, the computer, as a whole, cannot have one soul. If it has a soul, it has many. One for each of it's atomic parts.




This thread definitely has no soul. In fact, it's purpose died in the mind (small) of its creator, and is now a placenta, rotting on the floor of a mad doctor's study.

I am sorry you haven't realized that although I have only been here 3 days total, and started 2 threads total.  I have engaged damn near every active member on this board with this thread.  This obviously speaks true my existence as a rotting placenta.  Aye? 

To the rest of you, I am happy to see you all actually engaging into this very tricky debate.

Peace

29 replies in a little over an hour....  Not one thing substantial from any of ya's

Think I'll check back in a day or so, allow you all to collaborate on maybe one intelligent debate or rebuttal.

When you actually have facts or at least a decent theory to keep me entertained i will provide more than momma jokes. Mids and I had a long debate a few days ago because he actually can bring up points that don't make me think he's another tool repeating what he learned in sunday school / middle school.

And this is why you hang on my every word....right!

I would like any of you....just once to present me, with some FACTS about this Flat Earth Theory....

You should really practice what you preach..... tsk tsk

I hang on your every word for the same reason SETI scans the skies, the search for intelligent life.
One day i hope to see a glimmer of it shine through your posts but until then i'll be there to laugh at your failures.

Now that's flattering....are you gay?

This thread is to demonstrate that anything can be debated endlessly, regardless of how absurd what your debating may be.

The example I am choosing to use is my computer.

The challenge is to you!  Any of you who wish to actually debate.

The claim: 

My computer has a soul, and can think for itself.



I welcome all half witted challengers, as well as the truly scientific minded to convince me, that my computer is nothing more then a pile of electronics and plastic.


Virus programming. /thread

so your fragmented sentence is your debate?  Try not to over analyze the subject would ya?

A - Define a soul.

B - A machine overrun with strong code can act on its own volition.

C - There is nothing to debate.

A:  since you are too handicapped to look it up in webster:

Main Entry: 1soul
Pronunciation: 'sOl
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English soule, from Old English sAwol; akin to Old High German sEula soul
1 : the immaterial essence, animating principle, or actuating cause of an individual life
2 a : the spiritual principle embodied in human beings, all rational and spiritual beings, or the universe b capitalized, Christian Science : GOD 1b
3 : a person's total self
4 a : an active or essential part b : a moving spirit : LEADER
5 a : the moral and emotional nature of human beings b : the quality that arouses emotion and sentiment c : spiritual or moral force : FERVOR
6 : PERSON <not a soul in sight>
7 : PERSONIFICATION <she is the soul of integrity>

B.  A computer overun with strong code...???  That code came from where?  Thin Air?  I think not.  A HUMAN wrote the code.

C.  That's what I think about your Flat Earth Theory!

Your mom doesn't have a soul after what we did last night. ;)

Not True....  Our genetic code may control how tall we grow, or what color our eyes are.  But environment and the act of learning is seperate then genetics.
Quote
No, our genetic code also tells us what to do with the information. For instance, look at savants, or autistic savants, etc...

savants and autistic....have mutations in their genes, they do not realize what they are calculating, there is a big difference between knowing what your doing, and doing something without thinking.  If you cannot control your calculations then they are un usable, making them irrelevant and pointless.



Humans are much more then just organic, we have the divine spirit within us.  It wasn't always this way ya know.

Monkeys do not have souls, neither do dogs, cats, or any other animals.  Humans are the only beings with a soul.

Our souls are made of light energy that never dies, are organic form is just a vessel for a short time here and now.

Do you have any evidence to support your outlandish claim?

I will now refer you to the oldest and most widely read book on the planet.  The Holy Bible.

A human mind can only operate as it is 'programmed' to do through it's genetic code. If computers cannot have souls, then neither can we.

Not True....  Our genetic code may control how tall we grow, or what color our eyes are.  But environment and the act of learning is seperate then genetics.

Who is to say that souls are exclusive to living things?

I say...  prove me wrong.

Ok...  well seeing as this isn't quite working out as I had planned, I'm going to switch my stance and debate that a computer does not have a soul.

A computer cannot have a soul because it is not ALIVE.  It is merely trace elements combined together through man-made processes.

A computer can only do what a person has programmed it to do!  Debate That!  :D

Does this mean you are agree'ing that my computer does in fact have a soul?

or smart like wearing a bib while eating because drool spews from the open mouth?

5th Grade Physics? Sadly, no.
Unless you can provide math of the moon's gravitational pull on an FE, please do not post hypothetical suggestions.

I substitute your reality and will use my own...pfffftttt

How about you explain the concept of triangulation, and why they need 3 separate satellites to send a signal across the Planet?

If the earth was flat, you'd only need 1.

No. Provide any scientific, photographic data. Predict the next occurrence.

Photographic data from an Astronomy Picture of the Day shot: ftp://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/ESC_large_ISS013_ISS013-E-54329.JPG

Prediction of next occurrence: When the moon rises to its highest altitude.

1st of all, how do you know that isn't an airplane?

While you RE'ers go on screaming "optical illusion", FE takes the common sense stance of the observable and concludes that the stars simply passed in front of the moon.



common sense stance?  so "if" stars are passing in front of the moon, by common sense this would mean the moon is like 40 gazillion times larger then the stars...

Regardless of the distance.  Furthermore, if that were the case and the moon was that size its gravitational pull on Earth would be so immense we would be sucked into a collision.  Most of this entire FE theory can be explained with basic 5th grade physics.

It's a perspective effect.  Really, the sun is just getting farther away; it looks like it disappears because everything gets smaller and eventually disappears as it gets farther away.

Have non of you ever been SkyDiving?

I reckon all of you flat Earth believer's take a little ride in the elevator in Sears Tower to check out the Observation Deck. 

You will undoubtedly see the curvature of the Earth.  And if that's not proof enough.

Try jumping out of a plane at 10,000 feet.  FE theory is complete non sense...
