If you were God

[jonbob]

There's absolutely nothing at all to suggest that the physical world actually exists. All we have is sensual data.

Create better cure for cancer

True. I managed to park my car on my foot.

What would I change? Well nothing about me obviously but I might do something about the continents. They look a bit untidy to me, maybe get a feng shui expert in to sort them out.

[Banana Co]

If I was god I would destroy religious people.

Where is the sensual data coming from?

oh, so you've changed your mind back again in the last few weeks, have you?

What you said back then was that we have the same evidence for the physical world as we do for our own existence (which cannot be doubted outside of gross stupidity), as our awareness of both comes from the exact same sensual data.

The reason that so many here think you only talk worthless bollocks is because you only talk contradictory empty and meaningless bollocks.

I'd make sure that as God I had a life ticket to Glastonbury (along with my mates) and that when we arrived our trailer tent, or whatever we were staying in, was already erected. The weather would be fine (just the comfortable side of warm) and the toilets would be spotless and sweet smelling for the whole of the week.

[rabid]

Im enamoured by the idea of you tidying up the whole world given the overiding attitude to housework at rabid towers ;-D

[grumpyhack]

I might lock Neil and The Worm in a room together and then give people free admission to watch the entertainment.

[lost]

I'd make semen taste like chocolate and addictive as crack, it would sort out war, world hunger and the population problem all at once.

They'd still feel ripped off, even if free. It'd be no contest, worm lost.

[eFestivals]

No I didn't. Stop lying.

The liar, as always, is you.

No I didn't. Stop lying.

When you say that they come into existence it appears to me that you mean the world of sensation, which I believe is a process of having your experience simulated into a body of pre-existing knowledge; pre-existing in the cultural language that you invariably learn.

So I believe that it is the moment that they sense, without knowledge of how, that they enter into existence. But by existence I mean a world of sensation; not necessarily existence.

Oh dear. Proven bullshitter by your own words.

[llcoolphil]

The physical world based upon experience only exists within sensation. The physical world based on knowledge only exists in the human mind. There is absolutely no evidence for a world outside of sensual data or the human mind.

Comprende?

[Kyelo]

I would eradicate three things...

• Religion

• Discrimination of any form

• Resource shortages including water, food and energy sources

With these gone the world would be better place but it would still leave space for the ups and downs in life, competition, ingenuity, flair etc all of which make us feel 'alive'.

[Kyelo]

Discriminating against religion as a way of ending discrimination is certainly creative

[rabid]

If I was god why would I need several thousand religions/cults/denominations all worshipping something other than me and pulling in different directions?

[Kyelo]

So you'd discriminate against them.
