Quoting Amy Spitalnick of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs on how the Trump administrationโ€™s focus on โ€œcombating antisemitismโ€ undermines Jewish safety by fostering fear and selective enforcement:

[โ€ฆ] "The ways in which the administration is exploiting the Jewish community's legitimate fears and concerns about antisemitism is ultimately undermining Jewish safety."

Spitalnick argues that the administration uses #antisemitism as a pretext to justify actions such as deporting pro-Palestinian student protesters and cutting funding to universities, while ignoring or downplaying antisemitic ties within its own ranks, such as key figures such as Paul Ingrassia, Rachel Cauley, and Ed Martin, who have affiliations with antisemitic or extremist ideologies.

Many people in Gaza have shared what they believed to be their final message yesterday, as Israel's siege intensified following the decision in parliament to take over the entire Gaza strip, as well as demonstrations surrounding May 15th occurring, the Nakba remembrance day.

Current numbers say that 143 people were killed by Israeli airstrikes in yesterday's attacks alone, with dozens still missing under the rubble of destroyed buildings.

The Nakba, an ethnic cleansing that launched 1947 by predecessors of the IDF, โ€œonlyโ€ violently displaced 750.000 people.

The currently ongoing Gaza genocide has already displaced over 1.900.000 people, and killed 53.000 people (lowest estimate), whilst the largest offensive has yet to start.

I wonder how many Palestinians will be murdered for daring to remember the current genocide.

Sensitive content

If you are using generative "#AI" at work, you'll likely be looked down upon by your colleagues. No surprises in the results of this study.

What is both exhilarating and surprising are the euphemisms the paper uses.

In all experimental setups, participants were expressly told it was all about "generative [sic] AI tools".

The paper concludes, though:

"The experiments reported in this research support our core prediction that individuals expect and receive a social evaluation penalty for receiving assistance from AI."

Funny how they're paraphrasing bullshit generation as "receiving assistance", and keep glorifying #GenAI expressly as "productivity-enhancing tools", yielding "productivity gains". Both praises appear in a myriad of places, throughout the paper.

Ironically, that paper in itself demonstrates why such adulation receives well-deserved contempt.

Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

Wondering if I am not gonna be cloned, my likeness used against in pr0n, esp. illegal and stuff. Wondering as a woman, if it's not depopulation scheme in order to make us useless and worthless.

I wish I were The Witcher... my job would be simple, just killing monsters and getting well-paid. I hate this world and please, somebody comment on this.

Radical feminism nowadays is my only meaning of life in this cruel transhumanist world designed by... Jeffrey Epstein, google it.

Former FBI Chief Allegedly Called for Trumpโ€™s Assassination tn.ai/3313953

PSA: Not all applications use environment variables (Like they are supposed to)


This is mainly a rant post.

I have to use Zscaler on my work PC. I use Sway (Moved from Gnome -> i3 -> sway).

Whenever Zscaler is launched, I used to get a weird error "proxy server not found" but it continued to work otherwise. Now at my company, we used a proxy at one time but we shifted to a no-proxy connection recently.

So I checked all my environment variables, output of set command. Everything was fine. People said it could be because of some weird compliance issue, or kernel etc etc. After a week or so, I gave up on debugging it because most of my work was fine with the 50% functional Zscaler.

One day, I opened Gnome instead of Sway to check something else, and saw that my proxy was on. This is the proxy set in Gnome Settings, not environment file.

I initially dismissed this finding because I thought Gnome is not active during sway so it should not affect it. But then i remembered it's possible to access the gnome settings using gsettings from any distro.

I switched to Sway, and sure enough, when I ran gsettings get org.gnome.system.proxy.http host, I could see the proxy IP.
I set it to null and behold! Zscaler was working perfectly.

I'm like "Who the hell designs software like this? The application should read the environment variables, not Gnome variables!"

Anyway, this was just a reminder to software makers to kindly follow the norms. Don't design your software for one Distro. Follow the guidelines as mentioned in freedesktop.

in reply to xavier666

It's an issue but its a pretty niche one. Even software that works great on most distros might misbehave when you have multiple desktop environments installed. And http_proxy use doesn't appear to be standardized by freedesktop, LSB, etc. Though it is pretty well adhered to: about.gitlab.com/blog/2021/01/โ€ฆ

So yeah, I agree with the spirit of this but its tough to follow the standard when there is no standard

Collins, gรผlle vakasฤฑnฤฑ NAฤฐ adฤฑnฤฑ verdiฤŸi bir โ€œilkeyeโ€ karลŸฤฑ bir รถrnek olarak ele alฤฑyor. NAฤฐ'yi doฤŸrudan โ€œ Kendi Kendinin Nedeni Olan Bir Evrene iliลŸkin Kozmolojik Argรผman โ€œdan alฤฑntฤฑ yapmaktadฤฑr:

Elbette gรผlle รถrneฤŸinin doฤŸru olduฤŸu anlaลŸฤฑldฤฑฤŸฤฑnda NAฤฐ'yi tehdit edip etmediฤŸini istemek hala meลŸrudur. Bu soruyu yanฤฑtlamak iรงin รถncelikle NAฤฐ'yi yeniden ifade edelim.

Asฤฑl mesele bรถyle bir aรงฤฑklamanฤฑn ne zaman geรงerli olduฤŸudur. Dolayฤฑsฤฑyla NAฤฐ aลŸaฤŸฤฑdaki ลŸekilde daha iyi ifade edilir:

NAฤฐ: Evrenin parรงalarฤฑnฤฑn (durumlarฤฑnฤฑn) her birinin varlฤฑฤŸฤฑ, evrenin (daha รถnceki) parรงalarฤฑ finansal aรงฤฑdan mali aรงฤฑdan tam bir kopukluk olduฤŸunda, evrenin varlฤฑฤŸฤฑ tamamen aรงฤฑklanmฤฑลŸ olur, รงรผnkรผ evrenin varlฤฑฤŸฤฑnฤฑn parรงalarฤฑnฤฑn bรถlรผmlerinin bir sonuรงlarฤฑ.

Gรผllenin uรงuลŸu, bu uรงuลŸun daha รถnceki bรถlรผmlerinin bakฤฑลŸ aรงฤฑsฤฑ olarak tam bir baฤŸฤฑmsฤฑzlฤฑฤŸa sahip olmasฤฑ, gรผllenin uรงuลŸunun parรงalarฤฑ ve bunlarฤฑn nedensel iliลŸkilerinin tamamen aรงฤฑklandฤฑฤŸฤฑ varmak iรงin saฤŸlam bir paralel daฤŸฤฑlฤฑmฤฑ oluลŸturulmaz.

Yine de burada Collins'in itirazฤฑnฤฑn รงรผrรผtรผldรผฤŸรผ varmak hata olacaktฤฑr. ร‡รผnkรผ Collins, onun bir evren genelinin รถnceki durumlar aรงฤฑsฤฑndan eksiksiz bir yayฤฑnlanmanฤฑn daha sahip olmasฤฑ nedeniyle, bu durumlarฤฑn genel bakฤฑลŸ aรงฤฑsฤฑnฤฑn eksiksiz bir kรผresel daฤŸฤฑlฤฑma sahip olduฤŸu ve ortaya รงฤฑktฤฑฤŸฤฑ bir soru iลŸareti olduฤŸunu kabul ederek meydan okunabilir. Zira Big Bang kozmolojisi Tanrฤฑ'ya hiรงbir ลŸekilde bulunmasa da, barutun patlamasฤฑnฤฑn herhangi bir uรงuลŸ parรงalarฤฑnฤฑn parรงasฤฑ olduฤŸu kadar Tanrฤฑ'nฤฑn da herhangi bir evren parรงalarฤฑnฤฑn eksiksiz ayrฤฑntฤฑlarฤฑn aรงฤฑklamanฤฑn bir parรงasฤฑ desteฤŸi nasฤฑl emin olabiliriz?

Bu sorunun amacฤฑ Bรผyรผk patlama tekilliฤŸinin sebebinin Tanrฤฑ olabileceฤŸinin รถne sรผrรผlmesi deฤŸildir. Zamanฤฑn ilk anฤฑ olsaydฤฑ t0'da var olacak evren durumu, evrenin tรผm รผรง boyutlu bรถlรผmรผnรผn iรงinde toplandฤฑฤŸฤฑ sฤฑfฤฑr boyutlu bir nokta olurdu; fizikรงilerin bu deฤŸiลŸimi โ€œsonsuz yoฤŸunโ€ derken kastettikleri budur. Ancak bรถyle bir noktanฤฑn varlฤฑฤŸฤฑ hem geniลŸ hem de geniลŸ bir imkansฤฑzlฤฑktฤฑr. Dolayฤฑsฤฑyla, t0'da var olacaฤŸฤฑ varsayฤฑlan tekil durum yalnฤฑzca gerรงek olmamasฤฑyla kalmaz, aynฤฑ zamanda gerรงek de olamaz ve dolayฤฑsฤฑyla Tanrฤฑ bile bu durum neden olarak evreni yaratmaz.3

Ancak Collins'in aklฤฑnda olan bu deฤŸil. ร–nermek istiyor, evren t0'da var olmasa ve genel olarak herhangi bir ilk varoluลŸ anฤฑna sahip olmasa bile, Tanrฤฑ'nฤฑn yaratฤฑcฤฑ hareketinin herhangi bir evren parรงasฤฑnฤฑn tam nedensel olarak oluลŸan bir parรงasฤฑ olabileceฤŸidir. (Benzer ลŸekilde, patlayan barut, gรผllenin uรงuลŸu t1'de var olmasa ve ilk varoluลŸ olmasa bile, herhangi bir uรงuลŸ bloฤŸunun tam nedensel bir parรงasฤฑdฤฑr). Ancak Collins'i, evrenin var olmasฤฑnฤฑ isteyen ilahi bir eylemin tam anlamฤฑyla t0'da daฤŸฤฑlฤฑmฤฑnฤฑ รถne รงฤฑkarฤฑlmฤฑลŸ ลŸekilde yorumlamalฤฑyฤฑz. Bรถyle bir yorum gรผvensizlik olur รงรผnkรผ eฤŸer bir t0 zamanฤฑ olsaydฤฑ, Friedmann'ฤฑn kozmolojisi tarafฤฑndan ortaya konan fiziksel zaman serisine ait olurdu; Friedmann'ฤฑn denklemindeki zamansal deฤŸiลŸken โ€œtโ€nin bir deฤŸeri gรถsteriliyordu ve bu zamansal deฤŸiลŸken Friedmann tarafฤฑndan fiziksel zamanlar arasฤฑnda mevcut olarak รงalฤฑลŸฤฑyordu. Collins, Tanrฤฑ'nฤฑn var olduฤŸu metafiziksel bir zaman serisi olduฤŸunu ve herhangi bir fiziksel hฤฑzda metafiziksel bir ลŸekilde mevcut olduฤŸunu varsayarak en iyi ลŸekilde ifade edebilir [bkz. Smith 1993, 1998; ve Craig 2001]. O zaman Collins, t0 olmasa bile, fiziksel zaman serisini ve bu fiziksel serisi zaman tรผm evren durumlarฤฑnฤฑ nedensel olarak ortaya รงฤฑkaran ilahi bir yaratฤฑcฤฑ eylemin metafiziksel bir T0 zamanฤฑ olduฤŸunu iddia edebilir. Ancak Tanrฤฑ'nฤฑn evreninin eksiksiz metafiziksel aรงฤฑklamasฤฑnฤฑn bir parรงasฤฑ olma durumunu kabul eder ve bรถylece Smith'in varlฤฑฤŸฤฑnฤฑn Tanrฤฑ'nฤฑn yokluฤŸunu gรถstermediฤŸini kabul etse de, iki รถnemli sonuรง ortaya รงฤฑkar.

ฤฐlk olarak, Big Bang kozmolojik รถnemli bir teistik รงoฤŸalma, yani kelam kozmolojik รงoฤŸalmayฤฑ gรถstermektedir. Bu sonuรงta dikkat รงekicidir รงรผnkรผ kelamฤฑn ortaya รงฤฑkฤฑลŸฤฑnฤฑ savunanlarฤฑn รงoฤŸu destek iรงin Big Bang kozmolojisine baลŸvurmaktadฤฑr. Kelam varlฤฑฤŸฤฑna gรถre, var olmaya baลŸlayan onun varlฤฑฤŸฤฑnฤฑn kendisinden baลŸka bir nedeni vardฤฑr; Dolayฤฑsฤฑyla, evrenin var olmaya baลŸlamasฤฑna gรถre, varlฤฑklarฤฑn kendisinden baลŸka bir neden olduฤŸu sonucu ortaya รงฤฑkar. Bir yandan โ€œvar olmaya baลŸlamaโ€nฤฑn, โ€œvarlฤฑฤŸฤฑnฤฑn ilk anฤฑna sahip olmanฤฑnโ€ anlamฤฑna geldiฤŸini varsayalฤฑm. O halde bu artฤฑลŸฤฑn ikinci รถnermesi, yani evrenin var olmaya baลŸlamasฤฑ รถnermesi reddedilmelidir. ร‡รผnkรผ yukarฤฑda aรงฤฑklandฤฑฤŸฤฑ gibi, Big Bang kozmolojisi evrenin t0'da var olabilir ve daha genel olarak en erken anฤฑn yapฤฑlmadฤฑฤŸฤฑnฤฑ destekler. ร–te yandan, โ€œvar olmaya baลŸlarโ€ hayatฤฑnan sadece โ€œsonlu yaลŸta yaลŸlฤฑdฤฑrโ€ anlamฤฑna geldiฤŸini varsayalฤฑm. O zaman varlฤฑฤŸฤฑnฤฑn ilk รถncรผlรผ, sonlu derecede yaลŸlฤฑ olan herhangi bir ลŸeyin varlฤฑฤŸฤฑnฤฑn kendisinden baลŸka bir nedeni olduฤŸunu ileri sรผrer. Ancak ''Kendi Kendinin Nedeni Olan Bir Evrene iliลŸkin Kozmolojik Argรผman'daki รงoฤŸalma, bu kaynaฤŸฤฑn doฤŸrulandฤฑฤŸฤฑ iรงin iyi bir neden olmadฤฑฤŸฤฑ gรถsterilmiลŸtir.

ฤฐkinci olarak, Tanrฤฑ'nฤฑn varlฤฑฤŸฤฑ kanฤฑtlayamasa bile, buna karลŸฤฑ gรผรงlรผ bir olasฤฑlฤฑksal รงeลŸitliliฤŸimiz vardฤฑr, hatta Collins'in tasarฤฑmฤฑndaki รงeลŸitliliฤŸiyle aynฤฑ yapฤฑ yapฤฑsฤฑna sahip bir oluลŸum. ร‡รผnkรผ Smith โ€œKendi Kendinin Nedeni Olan Bir Evrene iliลŸkin Kozmolojik Argรผmanโ€da sadece kendi kendine oluลŸan bir evren mรผmkรผn deฤŸildi, aynฤฑ zamanda bunun gerรงekliฤŸinin en iyi bilimsel kozmolojimiz tarafฤฑndan desteklendiฤŸini de gรถsterdi. Elbette teistler buna ลŸaลŸฤฑrmalฤฑ, doฤŸaรผstรผ nedenlerin varlฤฑฤŸฤฑnฤฑ reddeden metafizik natรผralistler ise ลŸaลŸฤฑrmamalฤฑdฤฑr. Kabil etmek gerekir ki, pek รงok natรผralist evrenin devletinin โ€œkaba bir gerรงekโ€ (yani, aรงฤฑklamasฤฑ olmayan bir gerรงek) olduฤŸuna inanmaktadฤฑr; Ancak bu inanca sahip olmalarฤฑnฤฑn tek nedeni, yanlฤฑลŸlฤฑkla evrensel natรผralist bir aรงฤฑklamanฤฑn imkansฤฑz olduฤŸunu dรผลŸรผnmeleridir. Dolayฤฑsฤฑyla, Collins'in โ€œolabilirlik ilkesi โ€œne dayanabilir ลŸu anda var olabiliriz: Evrenin kรถkeni ve evrimine iliลŸkin en iyi bilimsel teorimizin evrenin kendi kendine oluลŸtuฤŸu iddiasฤฑnฤฑ desteklemesi, natรผralizm gรถz รถnรผne alฤฑndฤฑฤŸฤฑnda teizm gรถz รถnรผne alฤฑndฤฑฤŸฤฑnda รงok daha olasฤฑdฤฑr ve bu nedenle natรผralizmi teizme karลŸฤฑ รงok gรผรงlรผ bir kanฤฑttฤฑr.

Ekler: Teknik ร–zellikler (Quentin Smith tarafฤฑndan)
Collins, iรงeriฤŸine doฤŸrudan yanฤฑt vermeme รถncesinde, aralฤฑฤŸฤฑn bazฤฑ yakฤฑnlarฤฑna yรถnelik iki teknik itirazda bulunmaktadฤฑr. Bu itirazlardan ilki, oluลŸumlarฤฑn mutlak anlamda tรผm evrensel durumlardan bahsedilebileceฤŸini varsaymanฤฑn; Ancak Collins, Einstein'ฤฑn รถzel gรถrelilik teorisinin bunun mรผmkรผn olduฤŸu reddedildi, bunun yerine herhangi bir anlฤฑk evren durumu ayarฤฑnฤฑn belirli bir eylemsiz referans รงerรงevelerine gรถre รงalฤฑลŸtฤฑฤŸฤฑnฤฑ ima ettiฤŸini sรถylรผyor. Bununla birlikte, makalemin รถzel gรถreliliฤŸi deฤŸil Friedmann'ฤฑn kozmolojisini aรงฤฑkรงa varsaydฤฑฤŸฤฑnฤฑ belirtiyor. Friedmann'ฤฑn kozmolojisi Einstein'ฤฑn genel gรถrelilik kuramฤฑnฤฑn evrenimize uygulanan รงรถzรผmรผdรผr; รถzel gรถrelilik ise genel gรถrelilik denklemlerinin โ€œvakum รงรถzรผmรผdรผrโ€. Felsefeciler tarafฤฑndan genellikle fark edilmeyen รถzel ve genel gรถrelilikle ilgili bu nokta burada รงok รถnemlidir. ร‡รผnkรผ Friedmann'ฤฑn kozmolojisi mutlak bir รงerรงeveyi ya da sฤฑklฤฑkla sรถylendiฤŸi gibi โ€œayrฤฑcalฤฑklฤฑ bir รงerรงeveyiโ€ kabul eder (รถrneฤŸin Valentini [1996]; ve Misner, Thorne ve Wheeler [1973] tarafฤฑndan).

ฤฐkinci teknik itiraz ise evrenin belirsizliฤŸi olduฤŸudur ki bu da benim her merkezde evren birimleri รถnceki anlฤฑk evren durumlarฤฑndan kaynaklandฤฑฤŸฤฑ gizlenฤฑma ลŸรผphe dรผลŸmรผyor. Bu itiraz, โ€œKendi Kendinin Nedeni Olan Bir Evrene iliลŸkin Kozmolojik Argรผmanโ€da tartฤฑลŸmaya yer olmayan pek รงok bilimsel teoriden biri olan kuantum mekaniฤŸine dayanmaktadฤฑr. Collins benim gรถrรผลŸรผmรผ รถฤŸrenmek istiyor; iลŸte kฤฑsaca รถzetliyorum. Nedensel olarak determinist olan Bohmian kuantum mekaniฤŸini varsayฤฑyorum. Valentini [1996] Bohmian kuantum mekaniฤŸinin Friedmann'ฤฑn kozmolojisiyle bรผtรผnleลŸtirilebileceฤŸini savunmaktadฤฑr; sonuรง olarak, evrenin mutlak bir eลŸzamanlฤฑlฤฑk evreninin iรงerdiฤŸi nedensel olarak determinist bir evrendir.

[1] Collins'in โ€œSmith'in Kozmolojik Argรผmanฤฑna ฤฐtirazlarโ€ฤฑn sonunda ileriye doฤŸru ilerlediฤŸinin aksine, bu aรงฤฑklamanฤฑn dรถngรผsรผnรผsel olarak dikkat edin. ร‡รผnkรผ tรผm evrenin varoluลŸu (mantฤฑksal olarak) evrenin tรผm uygun parรงalarฤฑnฤฑn varlฤฑฤŸฤฑdฤฑr ve evrenin herhangi bir uygun parรงasฤฑnฤฑn varlฤฑฤŸฤฑ (nedensel olarak) diฤŸer uygun farklฤฑ parรงalar tarafฤฑndan aรงฤฑklanฤฑr. Collins'in itirazฤฑ, nedensel ve geniลŸ aรงฤฑklamalarฤฑn bir araya getirilmesi ve bir parรงanฤฑn daha รถnceki parรงalar tarafฤฑndan aรงฤฑklanmasฤฑ, bรผtรผnรผn tรผm parรงalarฤฑn aรงฤฑklanmasฤฑyla karฤฑลŸtฤฑrฤฑlmasฤฑna dayanmaktadฤฑr.

[2] โ€œSmith'in Kozmolojik Argรผmanlarฤฑna ฤฐtirazlar โ€œฤฑn son doฤŸru Collins, Smith'in รงฤฑkฤฑลŸฤฑyla ilgili sorunu sonsuz gerileme problemiyle karลŸฤฑ karลŸฤฑya kalabileceฤŸi ileri sรผreleri: โ€œEvrenin bir parรงasฤฑ (bir NAฤฐ) bir ya da daha fazla รถnceki parรงa tarafฤฑndan aรงฤฑklanฤฑr, bu da bir ya da daha fazla รถnceki parรงa tarafฤฑndan aรงฤฑklanฤฑr, ad infinitum. bรถylece, toplam kฤฑsmฤฑ asla tam olarak aรงฤฑklanฤฑr, รถzetle aรงฤฑklamayฤฑ kalan kฤฑsmฤฑ her zaman daha fazla ลŸarkฤฑyฤฑ duyar. Teistin peลŸinde olduฤŸu da tam olarak bu tรผr bir aรงฤฑklamadฤฑr.โ€ Buna vereceฤŸiniz yanฤฑtlar. Sรผreklilik arz eden รงok sayฤฑda evren durumu olduฤŸu iรงin, her anlฤฑk evren durumundan kendisinden รถnce gelen tรผm koลŸullar tarafฤฑndan yeterince neden gรถsterilir ve tam olarak aรงฤฑklanฤฑr. Dolayฤฑsฤฑyla sonsuz bir nedenlerin gerilemesi sรถz konusu deฤŸildir.

[3] Spekรผlatif kuantum tรผkenen kozmolojilerinin bazฤฑ eski yorumlarฤฑna (.รถrnek Smith 2006, s. 86โ€“106) ve t0 fiziksel zamanฤฑndaki tekilliฤŸin gerรงek olduฤŸuna dair olaylarlara (bkz. รถrnek Smith 2006, s.41โ€“85) raฤŸmen, kozmologlarฤฑn ana akฤฑm inancฤฑnฤฑn hiรงbir kuantum kozmolojisinin Friedmann'ฤฑn kozmolojisinden daha iyi desteklenmediฤŸi ve Friedman'ฤฑn denkleminin bรผyรผk Patlama tekilliฤŸinin gerรงekรงi bir yorumuyla tutarlฤฑ olduฤŸu yรถnรผndedir. Ayrฤฑca, Smith'in mevcut gรถrรผลŸรผ ile Smith 2006'daki (s. 41โ€“86) gรถrรผลŸler parรงalar uyumsuz olsa da, Smith'in aynฤฑ fikir ve oluลŸumlar hakkฤฑnda ayrฤฑntฤฑlarฤฑ deฤŸiลŸtirip deฤŸiลŸtirmediฤŸini gรถstermesi hata olacaktฤฑr. Bรถylece, fiziksel kozmoloji รผzerine daha fazla รงalฤฑลŸma onu Friedman ve Kuantum Yerรงekimi kozmolojilerini derinleลŸtirerek daha ayrฤฑntฤฑlฤฑ ve ontolojik olarak daha doฤŸru bir ลŸekilde okuyabilmeye yรถneltmiลŸtir. (Bir kiลŸinin izlediฤŸi bu tรผr bir evrimi, รถncelikli olarak sorgulamadan tercihli fizikte รงok daha fazlasฤฑ vardฤฑ). Smith'in son deฤŸerlendirmesinin bir taslaฤŸฤฑ Smith 2008, s. 73โ€“124'te yer alฤฑyor, yazฤฑm hatalarฤฑndan arฤฑndฤฑrฤฑlmฤฑลŸ bir versiyonu yakฤฑnda www.qsmithwmu.com adresinde yayฤฑnlanacak.

[4] Collins ayrฤฑca Tanrฤฑ'nฤฑn evrenini sรผrekli olarak yarattฤฑฤŸฤฑnฤฑ sรถylemek istiyorsa, bu, onun fiziksel zamana karลŸฤฑlฤฑk gelen, fiziksel zamana ve o fiziksel zamanda var olan evreni รผretebilen neden olan ilahi bir yaratฤฑcฤฑ eylem iรงeren metafiziksel bir zaman olduฤŸu gelir.
