Answer im thinking of is from a Western religion figure and died 1274 CE. Alternately one can possibly use an answer given by Giordano Bruno who died 1600 CE. Alternately we can go back to a Greek who died 322 BCE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Personally, I still use BC and AD, I don't like change, and it was that way for way too long for me to change.

Yes, but Bruno died explicitly (i.e., was burned for heresy) for making that suggestion and following it up with a couple of reasonable assumptions and coming to a theologically-impermissible-at-the-time logical conclusion.

Pariah Posted August 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 We have all been dancing around the basic issue: does Data have a soul? I don't know that he has. I don't know that I have. But I have got to give him the freedom to explore that question himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Yeah, it has to be taken as given: if there is such a thing as souls, then something has evolved to consume them. That is not a particularly comfortable thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
