What god did Einstein believe in?

both sides having merit is what defines a paradox.

Incorrect. Both sides having merit is a discussion, with each "side" being an argument.

A paradox is an apparent contradiction. Religious people tend to prefer the word "paradox" because the word "contradiction" is harsh, carrying the connotation of rendering everything FALSE whereas a paradox allows for discussion and acceptance where permissible, e.g. religion, unexplained observations, etc.

It's funny that you didn't know a roll of a die was completely deterministic from the perspective of the physical forces of the universe. It's only our lack of perfect information that makes it seemingly random to our minds.
You never set foot in any physics class in high school or college, did you?

Please don't feed the trolls. I'm tempted to put this fucking moron and his socks on ignore just to clean up the forum for reading.

He has never, ever contributed anything useful or intelligent to a conversation. He was interesting to study for awhile but now he's just a repetitive bore.

The Universe is not a force.

It's only our lack of perfect information that makes it seemingly random to our minds.

You still have no concept of random number mathematics.

You never set foot in any physics class in high school or college, did you?

Physics isn't a school, college, university, degree, license, government agency, book, pamphlet, website, paper, association, journal, or magazine.

You routinely discard physics.

The Universe is a random dustcloud.

So bottom line is you did not have the intellectual and cognitive power to realize the roll of a die is completely deterministic from the perspective of the physical forces of nature, and the only thing that makes it seemingly random to our minds is because we lack perfect information and computational power for all the forces involved.

Repetition fallacy (chanting).

YAFI. Inversion fallacy. You cannot blame your socks on anybody else, Sybil.

You are describing yourself again.

No. That is a conversation.

you always get this one wrong.

why can't your dumb brain learn?

Go learn English.

Not quite. A paradox is two conflicting arguments made by the same individual. The truth or falseness of either argument is not particularly the question, although one of the conflicting argument must be false if one is to claim the other.

No religion is involved here.

See the concept of a Strange Loop.

It's entertaining to watch them slowly and belatedly realize they were wrong, but then try to bullshit their way around it anyway

Agreed. FWIW, I doubt he's stupid, just irrational to the point of illness.

Agreed, in addition to having trouble thinking clearly and rationally, this troll seems to have some kind of mental impairment.

A paradox is two conflicting arguments made by the same individual.

Exactly. In logic, that is called a contradiction. You prefer the word "paradox". Nothing more.

No religion is involved here.

Every religion is involved. All religions are unfalsifiable. Any attempt to discuss a religion logically implies assigning truth values to statements, which leads to contradictions everywhere the religion is otherwise unfalsifiable. To bypass this connotation of an unfalsifiable religion being falsified, the word "paradox" is used to denote that an apparent contradiction requires further discussion and greater nuance.

Every religion is involved.

Logic is not religion. While a paradox is a contradiction, a contradiction is not necessarily a paradox.

All religions are unfalsifiable.

True.

Any attempt to discuss a religion logically implies assigning truth values to statements, which leads to contradictions everywhere

Supporting evidence is not a contradiction.

the religion is otherwise unfalsifiable.

Religions are unfalsifiable. It is not possible to prove any religion True or False.

To bypass this connotation of an unfalsifiable religion being falsified, the word "paradox" is used to denote that an apparent contradiction requires further discussion and greater nuance.

Paradox has nothing to do with religion.

The Universe is a random dustcloud!

The motions of masses the size of dice, baseballs, planets are completely deterministic.

This is the very first topic covered in high school physics.

The fact you did not know this and that you keep bellowing that everything is random and arbitrary just demonstrates you are unqualified to have this conversation.
