To our past and current understanding of A, yes it was and currently is impossible for A to not equal A. But how can you prove that we wont have some sort of growth in comprehension of A that would allow A to not equal A?

Niiice terminology. That just reminded me of that quote by Bill Clinton... "it depends upon what the definition of the word 'is,' is."

Would you mind giving ONE example of the IMpossible becoming ACTual?
something from nothing, isn't that a miracle? Wahe Guru... from darkness came light. Just the fact that isness is...
yea you can't show something impossible becoming actual by virtue of semantics, but you also can't deny the astronomical unlikelihood of being, of breathing, of this all being here, of the richness of it all. Its all happening!

Actually we don't know where the light came from. That's like saying from a dark room came light (but of course I flipped the lightswitch)

Hahaha yeah but my point is that there is no way to prove that things that seem obviously impossible right now will always be impossible. Especially considering that in relation to all of humanity we are barely into this quantum mechanics breakthrough. We're in the middle of a scientific revolution. How can you know what could and could not eventually be possible.

Why is that a miracle? Saying everything is a miracle is the same as saying everything is mundane. It's a meaningless statement IMO.

Come on... somebody please name something impossible that became actuality.

Oh... and LIGHT must be possible since it already ACTually exists... still nice try.

You're arguing something that's self evident, impossible "means" impossible, sure, but that's not gonna get us anywhere. And anyway its a side-issue, that's not what middleman meant.
And sure, you can look at the world as a miracle, or as a mundane occurrence, but that's the point! I choose to see all existence as a miracle, or at least I try, because it makes my life richer and better. Maybe I'm not getting any closer to the "truth" but I don't care, what's the truth anyway?
