One issue I have with that is that the Talmud was written down from oral sources between 200 C.E. and 600 C.E. The passages dealing that are alleged to be dealing with Jesus are very likely to be a response to the gospels accusations about the Trial of Jesus before the Sanhedre
In other words...
No, you haven't. You have made a declaration, based on word salad. You have not provided a testable and repeatable experiment. Unsupported claims, and redefining of words does not 'prove' anything.
I personally suspect that one inspiration for the Jesus stories was the execution of the Samaritan Prophet. I will note that Luke had Jesus being born in 6 c.e (the date of the census when Judah become a providence of Syria), and this execution was in 36 c.e. Luke also said Jesus was about 30...
Yet we can absolutely say facts about deterministic systems!
One such fact is that "predetermination" of the kind you are proposing is only possible if there is a god ("fate" requires intent).
Secondly, we have established that all systems are representable as dererministic systems...
That is the issue with determinism, predetermination, and in determinism. No one can show which the universe actually is I have yet to see someone propose a test to show which it is.
No , but that decision is predetermined by conditioning. THe 'choices' might be available, but what is chosen is predetermined to it's merely an illusion there is a choice at all. The illusion of choice is important though.
Christus was actually reference by Tacitus, not Josephus, and he used it as a name not a title. That indicates that Tacitus was misrepresneting what the Christians believed, and therefore could only show that Christians existed, not the truth behind the claims.
That claim is exactly what I dispute. You are making the assumption that you have a 'choice', but if if the choice is predetermined due to determinism, then you have no choice but to go in the direction you think you are choosing.
THere are a number of assumptions here. One, there is the assumption of first hand knowledge of the historical person of Jesus. None of the sources claim a 1st hand knowledge. There are also source that appear to have been tampered with by Christians. What can be said is that a number of the...
Can you prove that law of non-contradiction is valid?
Let's look at the statement
"This statement is false"
Is that statement true or false? It has to be true, or it has to be false, according to the law of non contradiction. Which is it?
Part of the problem I have with both determinism and in determinism is that, well, currently, it doesn't seem testable. When talking about the philosophy of that and choice, I can say it look like incompatiablism is internally contradictory from a logical standpoint.
What is the 'act of choosing' then becomes the question. It's the interactions of the biochemsitry ot the brain with the external sources, and if things are deterministic, the outcome of that choice is determined before the choice was even presented. If that is the case (it's a deterministic...
So you don't assume a first cause. Ok. one thing I am not seeing is actual evidence that determinism is correct, rather than things being probabilistic. There are many varieties of QM that are not deterministic. If everything is deterministic, there is no such thing as actual choice...
