So You Agree With Aristotle?

Alex,

Hmm... You agree with Aristotle's belief of first cause, how about Plotinus' view of a Logos? He said that there was an Intellectual Principle (or Logic, Gk. 'Logos') that exists as a timeless existence and is the cause of all creation. Would you agree with this theist too?

Warm regards, Harv

        Harvey, so far no god(s) were found in many millenia quest. - alexander - October 30, 2001 - 16:19 UTC
        
        I don't think so - harvey1 - October 30, 2001 - 16:35 UTC
        
        I would surely welcome such god (call it math, or nature). - alexander - October 30, 2001 - 17:00 UTC

        No, because actually SE follows from UP. - alexander - October 31, 2001 - 17:36 UTC
        
        So are you saying - harvey1 - October 31, 2001 - 20:59 UTC
        
        Harvey, position and momentum ARE uncertain at ANY level. - alexander - November 2, 2001 - 18:11 UTC
        
        Huh? - harvey1 - November 2, 2001 - 19:50 UTC
        
        Classic position and momentum are not entangled. - alexander - November 5, 2001 - 09:51 UTC
        
        In that case - harvey1 - November 5, 2001 - 20:35 UTC
