Serious Sam Game and Ancient Civilizations

Why would't my parents love me? I could just ask them, how could science prove im loved like its meant to be some force i feel from other people? Your points make no sense if you're not talking about god, you would know someone loves you by the actions and things they do for you, but i have no idea what you are trying to say and if its nothing to with anything religious what other meaning could you even be talking about, life has as much meaning as you make of it

Myrddin365: "It is impossible for observation of the physical to explain the metaphysical" Actually that is [b]exactly[/b] where metaphysics comes from: [i]the observation of the physycal to explain the 1st Cause[/i] [or cause without a cause]. Metaphysics - from the greek [i]meta-ta-physika[/i] [beyond the works on Physics by Aristotle]. Trust me, I have what you call a Major in Philosophy... not that it matters but Metaphysycs happens to be my favourite subject. It makes little sense to me when people apply looseley the term "metaphysics" in regard of somethings. But no ones fault really. That is basically because Metaphysics is not very well understood by the majority of people.

The problem with metaphysics is that it fills the gap for things which take sometime for science to understand. So it is the branch where you get to let your imagination run wild unlike science which connects the dots.

hi Sky: Indeed, and that is exactly it's point. Albeit it IS a science of sorts [logic is aplied to it]. Just not one you make it in a laboratory. And funny enough, all sciences that we know of tend towards it.

Yes. It is just that many parts of the metaphysics sounds like UFOlogists logic or sort of like thinking in the way conspiracy thinkers do. I don't if it is good or bad. I am just open to every theory and then go with the one that works.

Sky, Metaphysics has nothing to do with conpiracy theories. That is what I was trying to explain when i said that people use the term "metaphysics" freely and out of context to express something intelligible. Example: Aristotle Methaphyisics [where the general metaphysical Ideas come from], Parménides On Nature [also a great Metaphysical starting point]. Platos' body of work [all of it].

No. I didn't related your metaphysics example for conspiracy theory. I was observing people relating the religion vs prometheus theories for the metaphysics example.

Rawr My only point is that we all believe things we can't prove empirically, that we accept based on evidence, faith and choice. Thank you for agreeing. @ Shambala which truths have more value are up to you. The empirically observable chemical reactions in my wife's brain have less value to me than my belief that she loves me based on what she does and says. Due to my lack of telepathy, I just have to take her word for it. @David 1 I don't appreciate being quoted out of context given that my very next sentence clarifies that I am referring to observations made simply to yield empirical data. So to smooth over a point of petty semantics, my intention is to communicate that empirical data has little or no relevance in metaphysical matters concerning love and self worth.

Myrddin365: I'm sorry friend, didn't mean to sound rude, and believe me it's not out of pettyness that I do it, quite on the contrary. You may believe what you will, friend, but metaphysics doesn't cover such terms as "love" and "self worth". That is not the point on Metaphysics at all. And again I'll state that it is quite awkward to see people using such terms as "Metaphysics" out of it's [b]propper context[/b] [i.e. [b]devoided of what Metaphysics is about in the first place[/b]]. But that, I grant, it's because there are few people with degrees in Philosophy to start with. Metaphysics doesn't concerne it self with empirical laws of science because in-it-self, [b]Metaphysics is prior to all laws of science and beyond all laws of science[/b] [i.e. it is the root and the end of science as an interpretation on reality]. But that doesn't mean it is voyd of it's own "scientific" laws [those being Logic it self, until it brakes] That is why if you spend time to read from Aristotle to Einstein, they all start with a mind set on Logic and end up being unable to aply it. It's healthy info, friend, don't be so arsh on me.

LOL This thread is deviated from the initial topic. But the truth is it's very interesting to hear different points of view of members. In fact I accept that the universe is full of mysteries and oddities that can not be explained by empirical science, my point is that we must put all the tools and methodologies on the table to not close on a single dogma or point of view. On the other hand I must admit that I've never played Serious Sam Game. There was only discussed at the ancient civilizations xp... But what about the game is exactly? A version of Indiana Jones with steroids? And not understanding the points on the Dolphins ... Is it a theory about extraterrestrial life or evolution?

@Shambala, the relation with the game and the prometheus is usage of the ancient cult in connection with universal species residing in other planets and used by galactic vilian to harvest them on earth for invasion. That is the script of serious sam. That being said. I think there is a lot to dig in this topic and there are some good points presented here. As for dolphin, that poster related it with other alien theory.

I never played Serious Sam. But kind of reminds me of Duke Nukem. ahh, I loved BLOOD back in the day.

Duke nukem is more of modern version of the serious sam. In case of serious sam, it also goes something like alien movies. Sam checks all the ancient civilizations from past and kills aliens, gets relics etc. Ancient civilizations are worth studying for mystic factor.

Yeah. lol. it is also one of the older game which i guess is still good comparing graphics in that time. i mean 10 years back.
