The Proof of the Truthful [1] (Arabic: برهان الصديقين, romanized: burhān al-ṣiddīqīn, [2] also translated Demonstration of the Truthful [2] or Proof of the Veracious, [3] among others) is a formal argument for proving the existence of God introduced by the Islamic philosopher Avicenna (also known as Ibn Sina, 980–1037).
Scientists claim to have found evidence of “negative time” after observing photons exiting a material before entering it. A team of quantum physicists from the University of Toronto in Canada ...
Jewish philosophy stresses that free will is a product of the intrinsic human soul, using the word neshama (from the Hebrew root n.sh.m. or .נ.ש.מ meaning "breath"), but the ability to make a free choice is through Yechida (from Hebrew word "yachid", יחיד, singular), the part of the soul that is united with God, [citation needed] the only being that is not hindered by or dependent on ...
