@Avorne... I think its more of a philosophical question which would fall under the etc of the "w,e,p,r, etc" science and philosophy fall under the same categories as religion... or I'd think they would.
I saw another thread asking what it would be like to be in a perfect world
This was mine, but it died. lol.
I have to agree with jeol. Nothing can be perfect. Everything has flaws and thus everything is different. If something was perfect, it would be boring.
Perfect is no more than an intangible opinion that doesn't exist outside of the human mind.
I disagree. Perfect can exist out of the human mind. For example, there is a "erfect" or ideal way to build a fence enclosing the greatest amount of area with the least amount of fencing. That's perfect. However, perfect is often mistakenly applied to objects, like God or material things, which is wrong.
Perfect is a theory. Nothing is really perfect but since there is nothing to compare them to some things are seen as perfect. This is why God is called perfect since it saves the priests the bother of making up a long description since it can be summed up in one word.
No - everyone here misunderstands "Perfect". Perfection only applies to ideas, not objects - a perfect way to solve the problem - the ideal way to accomplish x, so it is something. But it can't apply to objects, because objects themselves are simply material things - perfection isn't a predicate of an material object.

No, nothing can be truly perfect, you can't know the perfect way something can be until you know every way something can be and no one knows every way something can be.

Just because something falls under the category of philosophy does that mean we should disregard the definition of perfect?
Perfect is like a depiction of one's ideal world. There is no set in stone example because so many people view it differently. A world leader might view it as infinite tax money poring in, or being at the top of the world, whereas a child might view it as no school, no chores, and maybe no bedtime.
