The issues of your life is determined by the contents of your heart. There is a reason God warns us to guard it - with all diligence.

Why would you be surprised? I am not taking any new position that I have not taken before.

The last thread you are referring to was a discussion about a hypothetical situation where both the observable phenomena and the observer are simulations of a cosmic Super-Computer.

And naturally, until we can prove that to be true, we have to continue on the assumption that it is not so.

You sir are advocating close-mindedness. If everyone were to guard their hearts the way you propose, do you think anyone would get converted from their first position of belief, or disbelief?

And how does your definition of "reality" adjust into, or take into consideration the metaphysical aspects of existence which I am fairly certain you do not dispute, given your take in the referred thread as well as your take on the "quantum" nature of spirituality - which you have oft propounded. Permit my use of the term.

More precisely - does your definition thus give us to say that that which is not observable, quantifiable - and mathematically so - and also predictably so - is therefore not real?

Because it seems to me that there rests a salient contradiction in saying so, whilst one propounds a quantum nature of reality - given that quantum physics deals very much in the random unpredictable and in much discourse even appears to defy mathematics.

God can be thought to exist just by observing the law of cause and effect, everything must have an origin, but if God is the origin of all things then what is the origin of God.
This is where the problem lies, we cannot call it God if it had an origin, whatever sparked the Big Bang must be causeless, must have transcended all humanity's flaws, emotions and prejudice, this would make God devoid of personality as well and imo consequently beyond our reach of understanding.
If there is God indeed, we as a race are way too primitive to grasps what it should be like, the only thing we can infer is that God simply has a will to create evident by physical world. The how's and why's is beyond the reach of man, a primitive species who still struggles to conquer himself, not to talk of the creator.

Yes.
Whatever is not observable, quantifiable and mathematically predictable is logically safe to say that it is not real.

Real things have predictable qualities.

And yes again.
There is a Quantum nature of reality. That Quantum phenomena appear random and unpredictable is simply because we are yet discern the complexity of the patterns of Quantum phenomena.

Quantum phenomena do have mathematical corollaries that can be modelled, and in the future, put into practical applications.

In fact, Debrogile's Equations show the mathematical corollaries of Quantum particles/waves.

The origin of God is not a problem, once you take your mind out of time, space and matter.
You ask such questions because your brain is solely based on time and space and matter.
Time itself has an origin and God exists before that origin!
He himself is the beginning and the end.

So there is no problem there my brother,

By this measure, it would be safe to say that thoughts are not real.
Would that not be absurd, once it is considered that our entire existence is governed by thought?

How "observable, quantifiable and mathematically predictable" are thoughts?
And if so, by what means Sire?

I would like to know if/ why there is a special reason you treat this matter differently from that of the hypothesis on simulated reality. Because a cursory look through on the red highlighted doesn't particularly disclose anything new or definitive in terms of the intrinsic nature of reality, as far as I understand up to date. Indeed I just read this now -

"The physical reality underlying de Broglie waves is a subject of ongoing debate. Some theories treat either the particle or the wave aspect as its fundamental nature, seeking to explain the other as an emergent property. Some, such as the hidden variable theory, treat the wave and the particle as distinct entities. Yet others propose some intermediate entity that is neither quite wave nor quite particle but only appears as such when we measure one or the other property. The Copenhagen interpretation states that the nature of the underlying reality is unknowable and beyond the bounds of scientific inquiry." - on the Wikipedia page relating to same. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter_wave. Reading through the page is only a reminder of the many uncertainties that still remain on those issues.

Since that is the case, why would you not adopt the same attitude you have adopted on the simulated universe issue? - To wit: This view of reality is still not firmly proven?

trust me, atheists are the slowest people I've ever met. they are just walking books. no common sense.

You are actually seem like the slower one here. Atheists don't believe in mediums. How can u be asking them to prove how what they don't believe in works? I am more of what u would call a deist. But even I believe mediums are fakes. They use different tricks of the trade. Same with mentalists. And they have been debunked by sound scientific minds many times over. Because u believe in something doesn't make it true. And the burden of proof is on u the believer not the sceptics.

There is a difference between close mindedness and guarding your heart.
Close mindedness is a total restriction of new or foreign materials, Guarding your heart is a conscious decision on what stays in your heart.
No one can run from the internet, we can only decide what comes in to stay or leave.
But why would the Bible say that in the first place, how did it know the issues of life flows out right from the heart?

Thoughts are measurable, as far as modern technology has shown us.
Thoughts are electrical brain waves that can be detected, isolated and even manipulated,.and as such, must have mathematical corollaries.

If thoughts didn't have mathematical corollaries, then it would not be possible for chemical molecules with mathematical corollaries to interfere with and influence thoughts. Alcohol and opioids are examples of chemical molecules that influence thoughts.

Haven't you heard of disabled American war veterans that have electrodes wired into parts of their brains, and then use brain signals to control artificial arms and fingers?

Such would not be possible if there is no interface between thoughts, Brain waves and modern electronic apparatus.

For over a week now, I've been challenging them on one of my thread to explain to me how mediums operate, if everything in this world can be eplanined by science. Mediums are everywhere. These atheists wouldn't claim not to not know they exist.
