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

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

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.

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

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

Does random exist

Hello,
I was just wondering if random exists within physics.

Does Truth Exist?

Does Truth Exist?
My belief is that the truth varies with each individual.
There is no truth, there is only what each person perceives to be the truth.
If we are in conflict with someone regarding truth, the best thing to do would be to accept that everyone sees what they want to see...
