Any substantial form of any non living body is not spiritual, but then contrary to spiritual, which may be termed material.Originally posted by Roy View Post

The burn! I have to say his arguments on the development on the organs is almost as bad as his harping on 'less from more'. Even though just about any thomist philosopher would agree that the earliest organisms could simple have the power to give rise to all the subspecies we know on Earth.Originally posted by rogue06 View Post
Too bad he couldn't resist going on another thread posting spree. He's off into the matrix again.

I suspect this might have been deliberate on JohnMartin's part. He was asking to be banned earlier, apparently as a way of breaking his habit. He was advised to simply change his password to something he would not remember. I think he's decided on this tactic instead... it might let him think of himself as a victim, or of theologyweb as unable to manage his incisive argument. I had nothing useful to say to him after a thread in the old theologyweb where I defended the proposition that he was abysmally bad at philosophy. The board is better without him... and I suspect John is better off weaned away from his pointless pursuits here as well.Comment

And nothing of value was lost."When the Western world accepted Christianity, Caesar conquered; and the received text of Western theology was edited by his lawyers…. The brief Galilean vision of humility flickered throughout the ages, uncertainly…. But the deeper idolatry, of the fashioning of God in the image of the Egyptian, Persian, and Roman imperial rulers, was retained. The Church gave unto God the attributes which belonged exclusively to Caesar."
— Alfred North WhiteheadComment

Bon voyage JohnMartin, even though we think you're crazy, we love you and hope the best for you. May you find better pursuits to sublimate your energies on.
