March 29, 2008 at 11:50 pm In his Genesis commentary, Calvin clearly said that the cosmology of Genesis was not correct; it presented the cosmos “as the unlearned perceive it to be.” “There’s no water above the heavens,” he said, “and we all know it.” Why the error? God–the inerrant God–accommodated the errant views of...

The propositional theory of knowledge holds that one must have justified true belief in the content of a proposition in order to have knowledge.

Many observers ascribe the collapse of the state vector to the act of observation itself.  To some, this means that it is observation by a conscious mind that forces the quantum vector to collapse and take on a definite outcome.  In a “speciesist” version of this theory, the cat will be suspended in a mix of the alive ...

Social media is revolutionizing what we buy, who our friends are, where we work, how we game, why we vote for certain candidates, and so much more. For the first time in history, anyone with an internet connection can speak and be heard across the globe in seconds, by audiences of one to one million.  What's more, the ...

When a being is in actuality, it has fulfilled its end, its telos. All beings by nature are telic beings. The end or telos of an acorn is to become an oak tree. The acorn’s potentiality is an inner striving towards its fulfillment as an oak tree. If it reaches this fulfillment it is in actuality, or entelecheia, which ...

(Optional) More AboutLogic Ideally, we can come up with a “perfect” logical system, which is consistent (not having contradictions) and is powerful (can derive everything that is true). But Gödel proved that there is no perfect logical system. This is called the Gödel’s incompleteness theorem. It is an important and su...

Notably, Dobzhansky said in 1955 that nobody had seen that the earth is a sphere, or caught a glimpse of atoms. The 1957 success of the Soviet satellite Sputnik provided the first direct “proof” that all the previous inferences about the earth’s shape were true. Today most everyone has seen photos of the spherical eart...

We consider the problem of low probability estimation: given a machine learning model and a formally-specified input distribution, how can we estimate the probability of a binary property of the model's output, even when that probability is too small to estimate by random sampling? This problem is motivated by the need...

It is now hopefully clear for a naturalist scientific realist that mathematical realism offers a better option for her than causal nominalism; while the latter just doesn t square with her naturalism, the former integrates into the whole picture quite well. So, by now, both the advantages of mathematical realism, as we...

Truthmaker theorists often express their core commitment by saying that truth is grounded in being, and grounding theorists often take truthmaking to be a paradigm case of grounding. But I will argue that truthmaking is not a case of grounding. What is crucial for understanding truthmaking is not grounding but rather m...

Yeah, we can define a set as an object in its own right in the same way that I can call an “apple” a set of “apple atoms” with all sorts of various properties to them. We can even define the universe as a vast set of information. That is, after all, how we even know about the universe to begin with. It exists and has p...

“Syndiffeonic relations can be regarded as elements of more complex infocognitive lattices with spatial and temporal (ordinal, stratificative) dimensions.

This necessary existence of God entails the necessity by which every individual thing is determined. This is because Spinoza is committed to substance monism, or the position that there is only one substance. This is markedly different from his rationalist predecessor, Descartes, who, though also arguing that only God ...
