Re: Conlang Random Thread
Klingon Alphasyllabary This script was inspired by research conducted in preparation for the Kopikon Conlang Conference held on September 23rd, 2023. During the development of my presentation on ‘How to make a good script’ I was studying the Ithkuil script made by John Quijada. During this study, I...

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...

Re: Atheism and agnosticism thread
I'm dubious.
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.

Re: Atheism and agnosticism thread
"Science" is a much broader term than "religion", don't you think?

Re: Atheism and agnosticism thread
Except for one problem: only humans use the internet, abide by the guidelines of communities secular or otherwise, and have written languages...yet you seem to have no problem with civil discussion while typing in a forum, all of which was built on upon the vast knowledge that humans acquired and h...

Re: Atheism and agnosticism thread
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
According to Islam, the natural world is revealed to the faithful as an eternal prayer. The Quran says so over and over. After an (IIRC) antisemitic bit, it Ah yes, that wonderfully non-human created book, the *checks notes* Qur'an. basically, your argument boils down to - or appears to boil down t...

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. Show me a pack of wolves making the sign of the cross, or a flock of robins engaged in meditation, even an alligator lighting a menorah, then, maybe, I'...

Re: War in the Middle East, again
We are trapped in this awful situation where no matter what we do we are murdering people , and amidst the horror all I can do is hope that it’s not any more of my family and friends who are murdered. That you think "we are trapped" in this scenario let's me know that you're not listening...
