One World Information System Guestbook

I cannot disagree with anything you've written. FYI, here is the traditional teaching on the subject of your webpage, as drawn from my limited understanding of the Prasangika Madyamaka philosophy of Buddhism: Not from itself, nor from something other, not from both, nor without cause, does anything ever arise anywhere.

I was pleased to read your site. It expressed some feelings and ideas I have had for a long time very well into words. A few comments to the 'flaws' people discovered in panentheist thoughts: If matter depends on spirit, it is not independent. If spirit depends on matter, it is not independent. But if matter and spirit are both dependent, then neither one can cause or sustain the other. So where did they come from and how are they sustained? This can be explained with evolutionary theory (Darwin) Norman Geisler notes, In panentheism God has been "demoted" from world Creator to cosmic Controller, from a being transcendent over the world to one dependent on it. But how can both the world and God be depending on each other for their existence? The same way the dead do not live on if they are not remembered. The same way the soul and the brains are depending on each other for existence. Brains without a soul are nothing, see people who undergo brainsurgery and come out as 'different' people, a soul without a brain is not apparent, thus dependent on the brain for it's existence. Is this not as incoherent as suggesting that the bottom brick is holding up the top brick at the same time the top brick is holding up the bottom brick? No, if there is no top brick, the bottom brick wouldn't be recognized as a bottom brick. Thus for it's existence as brick it is not dependent on the top brick, but to be recognized as a bottom brick it is dependent on the top brick. Geisler notes, "it is quite another thing to say that God is and infinite finite....How can God be at once both eternal and temporal? At this point incoherence...seems to destroy the panentheistic view of God." Panentheism simply doesn't make any sense." God existed from the time people thought him up and God will exist until people will forget him. For thus it being dependent on human memory, God will be temporal and eternal for ever.

hello roy! (i'm acting like i don't know you) very nice site. your always put it straight forward don't you? :) tell your adult daughter i said hello also. keep up the good work!

Excellent solution to a growing problem.

Potentially interesting site, spoilt by the forced screen width being wider than most monitor resolutions! If you get that fixed maybe people will bother to go beyond home and not press "back"

The missing words in my previous comments are:Home, Next and Previous.

Hi Roy! Excellent! Your site is coming along nicely. The infromation is clearly writen and broken down in such a way that it is easy to browse. I would suggest putting a link and perhaps a and or link on each page to better facilitate browsing. I'm impressed!
