“We should conclude that this Nothing is eternal. To prove that Somethi...” — Dejan Stojanovic Quote

“We should conclude that this Nothing is eternal. To prove that Something is not eternal, we would have to prove that this Something just appeared from nowhere and became something. The burden of proof here lies on atheists to demonstrate how something came into existence from nothing. This burden is the same one Bertrand Russell tried to impose on theists, deists, or any believer. Why would believers be burdened with the burden of proving God and disbelievers get away without proving how Something, whatever we choose to call it—God, Universe, World, came to be?”

“Zero enslaves space and time when a compressed idea, the Universal Mind, explodes into itself through emptiness; when a compressed idea, the mind converts and irrupts into countless ideas (messages). Creation of space is the classification and ordering of ideas (information), not division or motion but development, birth, and happening, the life of an idea, and development of the musical scale. Space is the trembling of emptiness: the life of a mind that listens to itself.”

“A breeze, a forgotten summer, a smile, all can fit into a storefront window.”

“If the creation of the world needed to be perfect (absolutely perfect), then why create (design) to arrive at the same point of the Absolute, which would be pure idleness, an idle walk from one perfection to another or from nothing to another nothing? If the purpose of creating is not only in creating but more in existing, and not only in existing per se but in meaningful and purposeful existing, then this creating or creation must first and foremost accommodate its purpose rather than perfection itself. Its perfection must be valued and measured by and through its purpose and meaning rather than by pure perfection. Measure through purpose makes us see the deeper importance and meaning in the lack of ordinary perfection. Perfection and absolute goodness (benevolence) are not necessarily as we see them and would like to see them. When we measure ideals through purpose, the idea, function, and manifestation of perfection and purpose become more pronounced, although subtly.”

“The very foundation of science is to keep the door open to doubt.”

“Science requires an engagement with the world, a live encounter between the knower and the known.”

“If no one ever deviated from currently accepted mainstream Science - we would still have the Flat Earth Society!”

“As in life, Edward, keep paddling.”

“But I should not have to explain to you how important it is for science and simplicity to coexist. One must not fear to be a little child again, when times of wonder are at hand.”

“Instead of just treating our symptoms of sickness, social prescriptions reconnect us to our sources of wellness. And instead of just addressing 'What's the matter with you?', social prescriptions address 'What maters to you?'.”
