Klingon Alphasyllabary This script was inspired by research conducted in preparation for the Kopikon Conlang Conference held on September 23rd, 2023.

Re: Kala updates etc.

Thank you for sharing this; I have read the old document on Moya, but it's been a little while. I have always found Moya to be an interesting script; at first glance, many of the characters seem difficult to tell apart, but when looking at the examples, It took me years too. Thank you, Glenn. There...

I sincerely did not intend for my response to be thought of as rude.

My perspective is pretty clear, or at least it should be.

Re: Atheism and agnosticism thread

Science, as I understand it, is a set of empirical measurements and/or calculations that are used to explain and/or understand the natural world. Not "a view". I don't see a contradiction there. So, you either don't know what "a view" is, or you aren't sure what "science&qu...

Re: Atheism and agnosticism thread

Oh, you don't mean "science science", you mean "view of how the world works and where it came". Gotcha.

"Science" is a much broader term than "religion", don't you think?

So...gods can't exist, because whether they do or not, there will be a time when humans are no longer around? If that's what you got from what I said, then you should read it more carefully. as SETI used to say, "How do we know dolphins don't have a civilization? Do theirs have to look like ou...

Re: Atheism and agnosticism thread

The best Assyrian scholarship was that the gods spoke by creating malformed animal intestines. That's ridiculous to us, but not because we have better knowledge about what gods do. We just believe they don't do that. Which gods? Which animals? You brought up the religious life of animals. As an abs...

Re: Atheism and agnosticism thread

How would we know, on either side? This doesn't seem like a falsifiable proposition. You're right, it's absurd, which is exactly why I used it to demonstrate the lack of substance inherent in religious belief. I don't think we're completely clueless about animal minds, but it's a notoriously tricky...

Re: Atheism and agnosticism thread

No religion, spirituality, or notions of divinity seem to reside outside the imagination of humanity. All known belief-systems are by human design.
