What is that difference exactly?

• taeric 8y ago
  Do you need it exactly, to know that it exists? What is the difference between two stars in the sky? Must you know the physical differences exactly to say they are different?

    What is the "substantial difference"?
    • taeric 8y ago
      Again, why would I have to be explicit/exact on it? Two stars in the sky have an obvious substantial difference between their existences. Even if I couldn't readily express what those differences are. I mean, I get that these are fun discussions to have. Likely even meaningful. But the odd friction this is adding to enter the conversation seems overblown.

        >Again, why would I have to be explicit/exact on it Did I ask you to be "explicit/exact"? I'm just curious for you to describe, at all, the supposed "substantial difference" that you apparently know of between being "not yet born" and being "dead". >Two stars in the sky have an obvious substantial difference between their existences. In what way are two stars analogous at all to being not yet born and being dead?
