9. Do problems that no possible intelligence can solve exist?

hi

It is possible to experience events objectively but it requires conscious effort.  As for the universe being real that is detremined by the defeinition of real rather than by the fabric of the universe itself.  It is also irellevant in relation to question six since reality is itself an experience rather than a state.

Numbers, well that would take us back to the contrivance innateness debate which as we may have noticed is certainly unanswerable.

Who created God? How did He come into existence?

God was created by mankind as they invented religion...

I define philosophy as a deliberate attempt by global culture creators to twist and turn about ordinary subjects, that ought to be known instinctively by the human spirit, so that their real meanings are masked by the web of complexity created about the subject by the philosopher. No wonder, the classical philosophers were Greek aristocracy, probably the earliest global culture creators. Examples of this are even more obvious today! everything has become a philosophical question: from simple everyday topics such as gender identity, sexual orientation, marriage, to much higher subjects such as life and death.

That said, there is nothing philosophical about the so-called "philosophical questions' listed above.

The entire universe, in its breath-taking magnificence and perfect harmony, together with the biological life: plants, animals and humans  therein,  was created in perfect balance by a perfect God. That's the one and only truth that matters... God is not synonymous with religion. Humans created religion in their attempt to find and understand their creator.... but that is a futile effort because God is unknowable out of the human Spirit because God is Spirit; the one who created everything by pronouncing it into existence and animates it. He is the Beginning and the End...

• Mat 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
• Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

Who are the false prophets?

• 1. Religious establishments which have reinvented god in their image, instead of the other way round
• 2. philosophers who have twisted the truth of God and cause many to lose their instinctive knowledge, inherent wisdom and faith
• 3. scientists who have perverted God's creation and deceived many by false accounts  of the origin of the universe, life and its entire purpose...
• 4. Disciples of the above, who continue to deceive many, driving them towards eternal damnation...using various tools such as religious institutions, academic institutions, news and other media, etc

The one question has has not been posed above is this: what animates this flesh and make us different from animated robots?

it is called SOUL; this is beyond the scope of the world's retarded science... SOUL=Spirit+Mind+Will.

That's a gift which the CREATOR in His infinite Wisdom put in each of us: the spirit is what animates the biological organism; mind governs the physical intellect and will is the freedom to chose (good or evil, freedom or slavery, etc and ultimately, God or no God).

Therefore, humans are free to choose to believe in God as the Divine Creator who created all:

• Gen 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
• Gen 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
• Gen 1:22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
• Gen 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
• Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
• Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Or humans can choose to believe that the entire universe just appeared from nothing, and that dirt in its own right became bacteria, and then morphed into higher and higher organisms and then finally into apes; and one day, a group of apes went for a walk and discovered a magic formula that enabled them to take the whole evolution thing to the next level. By applying it, they suddenly began to transform into humanoid forms, and moved away and started building cities, leaving their monkey relatives in the jungle....

Unfortunately, most humans around the World today are operating on only one component of their human 'beingness', the 'Mind', and even so, a very small fraction of it...; The 'Will' is being totally surrendered to the dictates and manipulative writings and teachings of the false prophets, while being totally ignorant of the 'Spirit'.

The other important truth is that there is a timeline in which all there is now shall pass away.

• Mat 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

What the scriptures mean by those who endure is at least three-fold taken holistically:

• 1. those who will believe in God, the Divine Creator to the end of times;
• 2. those who will keep Mind, Spirit and Will together, compromised;
• 3. those who will chose good over evil in all their forms, to the end

But, while we are still alive, there is hope! God in His infinite Mercy, is willing to welcome back all his rebellious children...like the parable of the prodigal son. Just pick up a copy of the Holy Scriptures (Bible) and read... it contains all the instructions of what must be done for a total transformation to occur... But still, make haste because there is a deadline...

Cheers

God only exists to those who believe in her.  God does not have any seperate existence beyond that belief.

The universe however exists in its own right, irrespective of the beliefs of those who observe it.

"God only exists to those who believe...."

Belief is an act of faith, not a creative process; what is, is irrespective of whether you believe it or not...

Unbelief in in a Divine Omniscient Omnipotent Creator God is also an act of blind faith... not guided by any impirical knowledge... Therefore, you have to strongly believe God doesn't exist but have no way to prove it, although all of nature seen and unseen screams in testimony to His wondrous power, His Magnificience and Amazing Beauty and Grace.

In contrast, true Faith-driven belief in God is both observable and spiritually experiential; it is however not a mere physical process that can be viewed under a microscope and described using a set of myopic scientific principles.

God exist out of our narrow human perceptions and academic rationalizations... We can have a personal relationship with Him if we let go of our ignorant pride and accept the fact that we are absolutely incapable of independent  self existence....what we have is an illusion of independence. Proof: we can make decisions on the superficial things in life such as what to wear, study, career etc... but we have no clue why we were born and when we are going die...

Only by recognizing God's purpose for each one of us, and living a life that Glorifies the Lord accordingly, can we experience the fullness of life here on Earth and an even better life once we shed off this biochemical suit and our spirits released in the physical process of death...(shedding of the physical existence and entering into eternal spiritual existence).

So my friends, lets give God the chance to rescue us from the shipwreck we call life...(life without GOD). Let Him guide us through the narrow creeks and ravines towards His Glorious presence here and in the afterlife...

Its simple but:

Find yourself in a quiet place and sincerely and humbly seek God with a few words such as:

'Dear LORD, I am sorry for having not recognized and obeyed you...Please forgive my sins and accept me back, come into my life'.

Anything along those lines... Do it out of curiosity or sincerity, and you will be amazed at the transformation...

Cheers

"Unbelief in in a Divine Omniscient Omnipotent Creator God is also an act of blind faith... not guided by any impirical knowledge.." (sic)

The ethic of doxasticism requires no faith, blind or otherwise.  No emprical evidence is needed to disprove the existence of something.  It is never necessary to disprove anything, the maxim is "he who asserts must prove"   

Your answer demonstrates my assertion that God only exists to those who believe in her.  To you she is very real, to me she does not exist.  

I wish you well in your faith and hope it serves you well.  

So, I conclude: two intelligent peers cannot come to a common solution.

#4 has been proven to be unsolvable up to now.

Anyway, regarding my original question: solved actually means having found a solution that is based on logical assumptions, which obviously can be falsified. Faith cannot be falsified. In my point of view, the assumptions should be minimal, which excludes such cases as the flying spaghetti monster theory.

Question 3 is also unsolvable but what should be asked is is there life before life?

Is our universe real? Does it matter?

After 3 years, this question seems to gain some attention again. Don't forget that the original question asks for additive problems than the 9 mentioned (I include Santiago's contribution).

Anyway, I know philosophical topics need time. BTW:

10. What is time?

Time is merely a human perception, a productt of human conciousness.

Our limited ability understand it is a result of the finite capacity of the human mind.

I am agreeing with "Micheal"

You are right, there is no chance of answering to philosophical questions because no one have got any proof around those questions..
