Intellectual Video That Goes Beyond Itself!

This highly intellectual video on atheism goes far beyond it! So I feel.
I mean; the ability to be there discussing abstract things such as; faith and religion! Perception and intuition! Reason and superstitious beliefs...


Although I could clearly see the intellectuals trying to reduce some theories to nothing; there is also a great deal of clarifying and very reasonable talking.

 For instance; the professor Richard Dawkins’ desire to help us open our minds over to reason, instead of blindly believing in whatever religious nonsense! Just because one might be afraid of a Divine punishment!

I totally agree with him that we need to use our capabilities and reason about such repressed superstitious prejudices!
Nevertheless, he has rejected the opportunity to debate his atheistic views against William Lane Craig’s teleological views!  And at another point, when asked: - “can you give an example of a genetic mutation or an evolutionary process which can be seen to increase the information of the genome?”  He really struggled to construct an answer and that was quite uncomfortable to watch.

Never mind, that was only a human reaction nothing else. We are in it together. Some are here as scientists, others as philosophers and so fourth. None of us know it all. What matters is that one keeps on broadening his/her mind and understandings, as much as one possibly can.


I surely agree a lot with him although I truly empathise with William Lane Craig imputes although he is not part of this particular debate.

He says that in recent decades scientists have marvelled; at the discovery that the conditions of the Big Bang have been finely tuned for the existence of intelligent life, with a precision and elegance that literally defies human understanding!

He talks of something made of two kinds: -one; when the laws of nature are expressed as a mathematical equation... some constants, such as the gravitational constant... what intrigues me the most is that these so intricate constants are not determined by the laws of nature though!
However, the laws of nature are consistent with a wide range of values for these very constants, how amazing!

-Two: -and to make things even more sophisticated, there are certain arbitrary quantities distributed as the inaugural conditions in which the laws of nature then influence.
We can use the quantity of entropy or the balance between the matter and the antimatter in the universe as an example. Now all these constants and quantities fall into a remarkably narrow range of values that permit life. Should these quantities or constant be changed in less than a human hair, the balance would be destroyed and life would not exist... so says William Lane Craig and it really makes sense so far!

One only has to keep the mind open and be aware of the real meaning behind these kinds of debates!
The talkings are all about faith and beliefs after all! You either believe one or the other!

The atheists cannot prove their statement about a nonexistent Creator! And the believers cannot prove that there’s a God! Hence, the former believe that there’s no God as much as the later believe that there’s a God!

However, in my view and experience, one may learn something crucial with them all!
For me, at this exact moment ... The fine tuning of the universe is a good enough theory as it follows logically that the best explanation so far is the Design. Thus, the teleological argument gives me something to hold on to! It offers me an intelligent Designer of the Cosmos and that suffices... for now.

Life is so broaden! One cannot place it in a box of any kind!
Meanwhile I’ll keep on learning and thinking things through before I board in a strange place and call it my home!

What about you?!

A Memory In My Mind

...It feels just like a memory in my mind.


A memory of a long gone past!


The past that was keen to offer itself over to me...
 In trays filled with vagrancy.


Yes!

Trays laden with dreams...


 Deafened dreams...by the cries of a heart which never believed that it would somewhat be freed from the shackles of; "good morality" ...



But what good morality? "...

The Thought And The Hand!

The thought! Intensifies...
The hand beseeches the fingers to enshrine it.


Thought that otherwise would come out flying on a voyage that although eternal could neither be caught, nor read or felt...


Not even imagined by others...


Then the writing comes...
The bold writing that manipulates the thought!


It plucks it out of the intimate brain and...
 Uninhibited it exposes the vibes into words...All to make sense.


Thus was born the book; Yesterday And Today In Parallel Lines.

... What is this book all about...!?

Find out what the book, Yesterday And Today In Parallel Lines is all about...



                                                           
                                                         - synopsis -

Lucília Augusta is a special woman.
She knows it and everyone around her recognise it as well.
 However, in an attempt to redefine her life, she lives experiences that will throw her face to face with  human degradation, humiliation, racism and even do what she has never dreamed of, ending up rediscovering herself as a fully human being and, finally, find her freedom...

                                                                               

Yesterday And Today-In-Parallel Lines: coming soon in English!

 




The other day, I’ve started translating the book Ontem E Hoje Em Linhas Paralelas;
into English.


It has been a work accompanied by a very intense and interesting experience...


A daunting challenge I recognise!

 
                                                                                                       

Coming soon!

in Englihs...

However, it’s of such a great magnitude that I am hugging it with my mind as well as my soul.


The title is pretty much the same...


Yesterday And Today In Parallel Lines

I’ve already boarded the ship of hard working, from which I can only land at the end...


By the day that the ultimate result of the last chapter is definitely reached.



i,e; the very last words!



                                                                                 -THE - END-

The correct question…

I jumped so high that I fell over and on a riotous applause I woke up from the nightmare that kept me deluded.                                                                                      




  I don’t know the answer yet, because; I was not asked the correct question.



It all happened while I was standing upon the stage of my experiences about the life of which I’m dressed of.

From above, I saw indescribable shadows! Sharpening up for my downfall!

Later on, someone yelled: - "do not listen ... do not listen ... because everything you touch, or even look at, it’s a just for you beauty! A beauty that’s unrelated to any sort of vanity...

And, in one’s contemporary days ... my days, it says "Oh! Do you want to see me? So go to the internet and click ...  on my blog!!!

YESTERDAY AND TODAY IN PARALLEL LINES
Coming soon in Englihs...

The smiling Potato Plant

Look at this; the brand new green potato plant which smiled at me in the dark of the night....


This is how it looks like when seen at daylight… so marvellously green! I did not feel like cleaning the place where it had been squished; remember? So, apparently, I have nothing to do with how it

grew...


After I’ve reclaimed over four hundred times about my neighbour’s conduct; neither such, nor any of my plants were treated as they should. The only thing that I can tell you for sure is: -

As I mentioned on my earlier posts; a swirl wind of nerves went over my head in such a way that I found myself reducing my trips to the balcony and neglecting my green plants all together.


All I was left with was the; “I couldn't care less” feeling. Then, hiding myself in the silence of such indifference!


Thus this opportunistic potato plant came on to light!


Although no longer so assiduously, my strange neighbour still keeps sending me the same difficult to decipher messages.


However, it is cooling to know that from the forgotten garbage came this beautiful newly potato plant that keeps making me think and think. I am confident that it will probably reward me with some new potatoes... hum! No!


 Anyway...some how, I did get my neighbour’s trash turned into... new life?!
After many whiles of ignoring my balcony! The moment I saw it, I laughed so much that all my seedlings might be much happier now.


Let’s enjoy the parallel... the trash of yesterday in parallel with today’s new potato plant. It really gave me something to think about! Such as... new beginning?! Yes. All that’s new is indeed at our disposal. At our service! It’s all around us even when it shows up in the way that this new potato plant arrived and invited itself into my surroundings. :)
