So...what is the other? Perhaps it is a little bit more legitamate.

O.K. one down and another to go…longitude & latitude

Eternity and never

[Dark_crow]

Mr. Crow, I just checked again; this is the Philosophy Board!

:):):)

So it is, what do you know, and I thought it was the graveyard. :D

[Dark_crow]

Who changes from dead?

The change is to dead, but not back again; therefor non-existence.

[Dark_crow]

Eternity and never

Never is eternity :)

Our sun indeed has a limited life span:
What is the life expectancy of the sun?

Stand still, I can't read your posts:D

Interesting thoughts you have. However, Nothing and Forever are concepts with-out objects, that is, they are not material objects.
(Snip)
However by my meaning of absolutes your answers are not correct.

I only quote this because I want to be an arse :)

I had to think about this for a minute, but I think you can dismiss latitude and longitude, also. If you're referring to them as the physical locations on continents, and geographic locations, then you shuold remember that the earth's crust is made of plates. These plates move, and the latitude and longitude coordinates of a physical location can change slightly. Supposedly, the earth started with one continent, Pangea, I believe was the name they gave it. The locations of almost everything has certainly changed since then.\

If you mean the lines we draw on a globe, then refer to what you told me earlier. They aren't real objects, just concepts, so by your meaning of absolutes, that can't e right either...

Sorry :P

Well arse,:) are there no absolutes: everything is relative?

[CaptainRich]

Your vision of philosophy and the introduction of your concepts of science have, over the past, been shown to mutually exclusive.

Haha, ouch. This thread is COLD. But it's all in good fun, right? RIGHT?

Also, I want to revise an earlier post. I'm changing my "The Past" to "History." The past may not exist today, but history does, as it refers to knowledge about the past. It's still not physical, but it meets the same criteria as nothing and forever now, I believe.

Good move, and that proves history can be re-written, right. :D

Damn... walked right into that one. Unless you consider it an annotation instead of a rewrite :)

Knowledge, now that is an interesting word, given the relativity of the world.

Indeed, when we interpret from particulars to generalities we often get it wrong.

In reality your using your own strawman riddle to pump up your own post.

[Dark_crow]

So that's what you think. And you reached that conclusion by Deduction or Induction

[retsoksirhc]

Well arse,:) are there no absolutes: everything is relative?

According to this, it looks like he used inductive reasoning. Since nothing is absolute, you can't deduct anything from it. Right? Oh wait, that was deductive..
Since nothing is absolute (for the most part), the majority of the entirety of existence (or most of it), nothing (or almost nothing) can be deducted from it (or part of it).

Right?

Um... what?

From nothing is absolute we might deduce that all is theory; which of course religion, Evolution and Politics is.

Ya think? Whooops, forgot science

[worthbeads]

What are two absolutes that exist in eternity and never change?...

The laws of time and space. Our interpretation of time and space may change, but the laws themselves will not.
