I thot that the earth has a molten core? " Earth's magnetic field is produced as it has a solid inner core of iron with a molten outer core and the convection motions in the molten iron-rich outer core produce a magnetic dynamo effect."Originally posted by Owl^:No lah
God is not emptiness lah but our planet earth is hollow...may be according to 'some scientists' claimed to be...
But according to 'some scientists' that planet earth is hollowOriginally posted by AndrewPKYap:I thot that the earth has a molten core?

If the Earth is hollow, where does all that magma spewing out of all those volcanoes come from? Somebody must have a half-convincing answer to that question, presumably that handful of people who still believe the Earth is an empty shell. The idea seems quite ludicrous now, but in pre-scientific times, it at least appeared to make sense: if Heaven was a place in the skies above, where else would Hell be than somewhere deep below our feet?Originally posted by Owl^:But according to 'some scientists' that planet earth is hollowwhy dont you google ard to check 'strange hollow earth' theories
Good luck!
except few xxx legends are QUITE 'trustworthy'

Harder to understand is why the idea survived several centuries of scientific progress, including the powerful notion of nature’s horror vacui. In a 1692 scientific paper, Edmund Halley – yes, he of comet fame – put forth the idea that Earth consists of a shell about 800 km thick, and of two inner concentric shells and an innermost core with about the same diameter as the planet Mars.

AndrewPKYap,Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:How can science give meaning to life? Do you know what science is? As for religion, have you confronted all the issues and come to an understanding of your own faith or are you blindly following what "others" say?
What I meant was, to say the words... "science does not give meaning to life" is ridiculous. It is as ridiculous as saying "drinking water will not ease your hunger".Originally posted by apples:AndrewPKYap,
Please read carefully. I said science does not give meaning to life.
Psst... what makes you conclude I follow blindly what "others" say? You sound like you like to prejudge me so quickly with general statements which I know not what you are trying to point out. If you attempt to tell people of your views, explain your stance and convince.
If you haven't noticed. I used a lot of I because it represents my thoughts and belief. I understand people have different perception of things and respects them individually. I certainly wouldn't judge a person from a single short post and prosecute him for his views. If you think my views are wrong, explain and not criticise.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:What I meant was, to say the words... "science does not give meaning to life" is ridiculous.

Who were you talking to when you say: "science does not give meaning to life"?
Are there people in this world that think "science gives meaning to life" and are there people in this world that think "drinking water will ease hunger"?
Was electricity discovered in order to explain the purpose of life? How did you come to the conclusion that the discovery of electricity was to explain the purpose of life?Originally posted by apples:If you haven't noticed.

Simply, science, to me, has not explained to me what's my purpose here. You think it's ridiculous. But it's not to me.
Let me ask u? Did electricity explained the purpose of your life? Did discovery of gravity explained life? Or did quantum physics, chemistry, calculus, evolution, etc explained your purpose in life? If any of this or any aspect of science did, please explain to me.
Religion on the other hand attempts to do that. It talks about love, conscious, cycle of life, etc which science to me will never be able to explain.
Lastly, I said purpose and not meaning of life.
I seriously doubt your understanding of english. What u said is to be questioned to urself.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:Was electricity discovered in order to explain the purpose of life? How did you come to the conclusion that the discovery of electricity was to explain the purpose of life?
Which part of science was for the explanation of the purpose of life?
If you make the statement: "Air-conditioning cannot explain the purpose of life" and then go on to say:
"Simply, air-conditioning, to me, has not explained to me what's my purpose here."![]()
Obviously mentioning the obvious...Originally posted by apples:I seriously doubt your understanding of english. What u said is to be questioned to urself.
Another fallacy (error in thought):Originally posted by apples:I seriously doubt your understanding of english. What u said is to be questioned to urself.
sigh... oh brother... Mr. Andrew, just look what u have writtenOriginally posted by AndrewPKYap:Another fallacy (error in thought):
ad hominem: Latin for "to the man." An arguer who uses ad hominems attacks the person instead of the argument. Whenever an arguer cannot defend his position with evidence, facts or reason, he or she may resort to attacking an opponent either through: labeling, straw man arguments, name calling, offensive remarks and anger.
Buddhism is about "awareness" and "mindfulness" and that includes "awareness" and "mindfulness" of logic errors in your head.
I never say you are wrong wat... what I said was that your were confused in thinking that science was for the discovery of the purpose of life.Originally posted by apples:sigh... oh brother... Mr. Andrew, just look what u have written
First u wrote
"What I meant was, to say the words... "science does not give meaning to life" is ridiculous. It is as ridiculous as saying "drinking water will not ease your hunger".
Then u argued
"Was electricity discovered in order to explain the purpose of life? How did you come to the conclusion that the discovery of electricity was to explain the purpose of life?
Which part of science was for the explanation of the purpose of life?"
So...haha... should I thank you for supporting my point in you latter argument.
What are talking abt? Illusions, delusions, confusion... Confusion yes... there are misunderstanding between what each of us are saying. It's about English, ambiguous statements or perhaps typo error from you missing on the "not" word ... not Buddhism.. not everything is related to Buddhism.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:BTW that is one of the things Buddhism is trying to teach you... remove the "illusions" and "delusions" and "confusions" in your own head.
More like Buddhism is causing the confusion and delusions in your mind.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:BTW that is one of the things Buddhism is trying to teach you... remove the "illusions" and "delusions" and "confusions" in your own head.
