[QUOTE="dancho, post: 15876, member: 245"] [b]The Creation of Man[/b] I don't agree that "the fact that there is a beginning to everything" is universally accepted. As a matter of fact, I would be inclined to think that this idea (that there is a beginning to everything) is the kind of notion that is so trivial that it is not considered worth discussion in a serious philosophy class. Similar ideas would be "reality is what is apparent to my senses" and "good and evil are obvious." I'm inclined to think that you get your ideas from [i]legal[/i] philosophy, or something closely related, like business management. Scientists tend to think this way, and they are very insistent about the "truth" of what they are saying, even when they don't know what they are talking about! Philosophy (thank God!) is not beholden to the laws of any country. In legal language, things begin and end, reality is real, and "good and evil" are understood by everybody. But that's just a legal fiction created to make governing easier. In real philosophy, such considerations as "practicality" are the [i]objects[/i] of discussion, not the limiting parameters nor the desired results. [/QUOTE]
