Post a message here. Service This editor is a Senior Editor and is entitled to display this Rhodium Editor Star. Award Message From For amazing dedication to Wikipedia and shock that none have yet awarded him a barnstar. PaxEquilibrium (talk) Well done. It's difficult to be objective, and harder to acknowledge when one is not being objective. AniMate 50px This user is awarded the Yugoslavia Order of Merit for exceptional effort and dedication to articles related to WikiProject Yugoslavia. Gaston200 (talk) For handling the attacks on you by Deucaon that were very harsh with diplomacy and ablomb, I award you the Purple Star..  Logical Premise Ergo? I want to acknowledge that you have spent so much time mediating between opposing editors. I know not everything has been resolved but your efforts have helped to reduce the conflict significantly. Polargeo (talk) 50px I, Kebeta (although sometimes seeing things differently), award you with Yugoslavia Order of Merit for your dedication to articles related to Yugoslavia. Kebeta (talk) This user is a medical student. General info: I'm a medical student from the Mediterranean city of Split on the beautiful Adriatic Sea, the second largest Croatian city and capital of the Dalmatia region. Besides medicine, I am also interested in history, military history (esp. that of the WWII period) and politics (esp. that of former SFR Yugoslavia's peoples). I just prowl around, contributing to such articles as I may... Split, the "most beautiful City in the World", as the song says... My cardinal views: From a philosophical point of view, I hold that there is only one truth, it always exists. We either already are, or we can and will be aware of it at some point in the future. A nation's economic welfare is absolutely paramount. All else is secondary. Nothing (especially knowledge) is beyond the reach of the Human Race (we're great! :) God, Allah, Brahma, Zeus, Amon-Ra and all others are fictional characters created to comfort and control the Human Race. (No offense intended to any real persons, of course...) Everyone is allowed to have his/her opinion, but no two opinions can be equally correct. Simply put, either all but one, or all opinions, have to be wrong. Regardless of one's right to hold it. Nobody is neutral. Absolute neutrality and objectivity of thought on any one issue is an ideal to aspire to, not a real state of mind. Our thoughts and actions should be scrutinized for neutrality - strive to come closest to the ideal. To be objective and neutral, to be above the instincts that cloud your judgment - that is one of the highest aspirations one can have, it is one of the greatest prizes sentience can award us, and the only foundation for knowledge and understanding. False premises of Mankind: 1. "The universe had to have come into being at some point." Energy/matter is indestructible. So far as we know, the universe may well exist infinitely. "The universe had to have been created at some point." To "create" suggests an active process on the part of someone or something. The wording alone constitutes a false presupposition. 2. "The universe had to have been created by a being." There is absolutely no reason to think, or evidence to suggest, a creature existing in an imaginary "area" outside spacetime. One needs proof positive before making a positive assertion, all else is fallacious. The following is what we would need to prove or indicate in any way in order to conceivably back such a a claim: 1) first and foremost, we would need a completely imaginary "spacetime outside spacetime". 2) We would need something at all to exist within it. 3) We would need that something to be alive. 4) We would need it to be intelligent. 5) We would need it to have some kind of magical powers over spacetime itself. 6) And then we would need to search for the god that created it. 3. "God is timeless!" Say rather the universe is timeless, and cut-out the middle man. If one accepts something that exists in infinity, why does one reject the infinity of the universe (which does exist), over something which lives only in one's imagination. 4. "God cannot be disproven!" "God" does not need to be disproven since he is not proven in the first place. The inability to disprove something by no means proves it. Such claims are simple logical fallacies known as arguments from ignorance (argumentum ad ignorantiam), "you cannot prove there isn't a teapot on the moon, so there is one!" 5. "Something cannot come from nothing." The tautological statement is correct, but irrelevant. Discussing the prospect that the universe has come into being at some point in some way (but keeping in mind that it was not necessarily so!) we find that "in fact, 'nothing' did come from 'nothing'. The universe is in actuality an engagingly reorganized form of 'nothing', while a-causal events are capable of seeing it come into being without intervention. - Prof. Peter W.
