Some paradoxes I need help figuring out.

[SuperRacoon]

1. (the grandfather paradox)
If the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time is valid evidence for time travel, then the time line simply splits into two parallel universes.

2. (the god paradox)
I like the way that 70s show asked the question better. Like other people have already said, this proves omnipotent beings inherently impossible.

3. (Immovable Object vs unstoppable force)
Well, for the object to be immovable, it must exert an equal force in the opposite direction of any force applied. So this can simplify to two unstoppable forces. So, we in fact have video proof of what would happen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S363ixv9oZk&feature=related

4. (M&Ms)
This is just bad wording, the chocolate melts at a temperature lower than normal body temperature, the sugar coating does not, the sugar coating does dissolve in water though. So the M&M really melts regardless, the Sugar coating just keeps you from noticing, (unless you have super sweaty hands)

5. (Forget)
Oh, that's easy, all you have to do is not give a **** about your responsibilities and it becomes daily habit.

If toast always lands butter side down, and a cat always lands on its feet, what happens if you tie a piece of toast face up to the back of a cat?

Cat > Toast

Deities in general cannot be falsified (disproven). This is why they are non-scientific, and thus of inconsequence.

However, INDIVIDUAL gods CAN be disproven. The Invisible Pink Unicorn is a good example. It is a contradiction in terms! Something cannot simultaneously be invisible AND pink. That god does not exist.

The Christian god is said to be omnipotent. But this is clearly impossible. Thus that god does not exist. So you will be forced to reevaluate the meaning of "omnipotent".

Au contraire, my friend. As you may have heard, and I hope you have, seeing as it has been stated in this thread, that anything and everything is possible with, as you say, the Christian God. This includes everything that you can think of. Like creating "round squares" or "Invisible Pink Unicorns". Several years ago, my youth pastor said "Think of a color that does not exist." I challenge you to do this. Think of the actual COLOR, not a name for it. This is impossible for us to do, is it not?

Please, refer to my previous posts for a refutation of what you've just said. But if you'd like to debate further, apply to the debate hall and post it there. We needn't hijack this thread any further.

I shall do so. Anyways, let us get back on track, as Timaltus said. Are there any more philosophies on these contradictions?

1. If i went back in time and killed my grandfather, what would happen?
No, Time is a definite thing, you may travel back and forth in time, but you can never change it. Traveling dimensions is another thing.

2. Can God create a boulder so huge that he himself cannot lift it. (answer even if you are not religious please)

Yes, if God has infinite power then he can defy reality. Mass will not mean anything to him. Nor does anything, for he can change it at will.

3. When an unstoppable, unbreakable force meets an unmovable, unbreakable object, what happens?

The unstoppable object just bounces against the unmovable object, in the said vector.

4. If M&M's only melt in your mouth and not in your hand, what happens if you put your hand in your mouth while holding the M&M?

They melt when exposed with any type of heat.

5. Can you remember to forget something you were supposed to remember?

No, you can't. The decay of a memory or function is the gradual decline in stimulus response. Therefore, you cannot remember to forget something.

Try your best to answer, please. My life is in your hands, guys....

1. How much wood can a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

2. Why is a door open; Ajar. But a jar open isn't: A door?

3. What was so great about the great depression?

4. I Can haz Cheezeburger, Plox?

Answers

Spoiler

1. None, Groundhogs don't chuck wood.
2. Ajar is a adjective and an adverb, while a door is a noun.
3. The suffering and hardships of those that lived in poverty.
4. Everytime 'You can haz', God kills a Lolcat.

 

[SuperBowser]

The creation of a round square is impossible. Thus fulfilling "Fact #2" as I had written it.

As already said, this is like saying can God ajsfogvbafb to gubsdjlkgbsd?!?!?

 

[Lotasin]

And He Can!

1. If i went back in time and killed my grandfather, what would happen?

If you tried to do it, you would FAIL. The fact that you are alive to make the choice to go back in time to kill your grandfather says that you must have failed because you are still alive, meaning it's impossible.... I think.

 

[xstompx]

1. Couldn't happen.

2. By the definition of God: Yes, he could make it and, yes, he could still lift it ;-)

3. These things exist how?

4. M&M's do melt in your hand if it's warm enough :-P

5. No, unless you consider remembering to damage your brain as remembering to forget.
