Yes, dinosaurs and mammals are not species. Humans, i.e., Homo sapiens, are. So, my question was, "Do you assume that humans will not go extinct in the biological species sense?" Your answer is, yes. To me, the reasoning, "Most people would opt for their kids to be more normal, not more extreme" is not sufficient because of at least two issues: (1) Parents are not necessarily in control of this, and (2) What is considered normal is evolving as well. Even in this case, regarding the possibility of a total mix, would it happen before the humans split into distinct space colonies which will be separated from each other as or more than humans used to be by deserts and rivers?

Not really, because it does not relate to any of my questions, does it? However, this does: Sense - Wikipedia. E.g., In relation to this thread's topic, as god is considered something that exists independently of human body, only the five external sensory systems are relevant.

Yes, in the same sense that dinosaurs are extinct. Even if there will be some space dwelling monsters that are human descendants. Do you assume that humans will not go extinct in the biological species sense? Or do you rather talk about their descendant species? If these descendant species live in distinct space colonies, they are as or more isolated than humans used to be by deserts and rivers.

But how long will it take? Is there any quantitative estimate? Would it happen before humans go extinct?

What I think is arbitrary is which feelings to call "senses". For example, I feel that I'm getting older. Is it a sense? I know when I am irritated. Is it a sense? I know when I am awake. Is it a sense? And so on. One easy way to distinguish "senses" might be to classify them by external organs that response to stimuli. Then we got nose, mouth, eyes, ears, and skin. Obviously, this is as arbitrary as any other definition.

Why do you think so?

True, but unlike renaming, moving requires some way of knowing which folder it was moved from, in case you decide to move it back.

An alternative test is to rename them in some consistent way, so they can be renamed back if needed.

Agreed.

Can't be less than zero; nobody survived WTC collapse. I think, in such a short time it was a chaotic system, without defined pressure or temperature.

Over the years, I had five unauthorized transactions. Every time the bank caught it before me, and I was never charged. Three times the bank system flagged a "suspicious" transaction and they waited for me to confirm it. I know that this is not a representative statistic. Just data.

This is OT, but I don't think so. AI is trained to mimic people. The machines will mimic the pretty pointless arguments effectively, too.

It is a matter of idealization. This page from Misner, Thorne, Willer explains:

Just funny. Reader's Digest has published an article entitled, 50 Science Trivia Questions People Always Get Wrong (With Answers) (rd.com). They could add a 51st question, "Is astrology a science?" According to their own first paragraph, the answer is, yes:

In such a short time the system perhaps did not reach thermal equilibrium, so the incineration might be not total. Some DNA might be found.

Can you estimate how this impact on a human body compares to that of a crushing WTC tower?

Sounds like a very mild, temporary schizophrenia.

Some people get disappointed with their official religious institutions but instead of dumping the whole notion of religion they go to a softer, mystical version including some forms of paganism.

I knew several otherwise sane people who sensed/felt God/Jesus/angel/spirit/etc. Yes, it would, but I doubt such an objective definition exists. As some old saying goes, "we don't only know what we see, but we see what we know."

Agree with everything except one point. I don't see a requirement to prove God's existence. One could sense God regardless of its existence, as pointed in some comments above (by @mistermack, I think).

I read that the percentage of people who answer "none" to the question of religion, is rising. This is much better than switching one religion for another.

This is true. However, nothing prevents God from being "a region of space where the gravity prevents light from escaping". IOW, your answer to the question, "How do we know that it is not God?" is that we don't know, and I agree with it. My point is that for the lack of knowledge, we "choose this as the most likely reason out of all the other possibilities." (My emphasis.) I think that there is no reason for this choice, but I know why I make it. I just don't like the alternative, it stinks.

Yes, or a setup.

I can't tell by your comment if you see the animal there.
