  1. 1. if the chance of firtalization is lowered then the chance of theses unions producing a hybred child is unlikly. it os therefore unlikly that that of the majority of the hybids We're conceived in anything other than mate form Or a similar form. 2. As I said it's possible there are one Maybe 2 more but we haven't met that 1 yet so we can't be certain. However clearly most forms are Not used for mating.
  2. 1. Another wob he calls them neuter gender That strongly implies they're infertile. 2. This isn't an either or, you can be both asexual and infertile in fact. In a biological sense if you're in a infirtle gender it only makes sense for you to be asexual And vice versa. 3. Even if We grant that they are only a sexual in other forms. Why would you as a singer Reproduce in an asexual form. If you wish to reproduce. Why not switch to a form that could appreciate sex more. That only makes sense. 4. Granted that phrasing of "several" Could imply 1 or 2 more. But none the less they must be very rare. So far every form we've seen other than slave and mate form has been nueter gender Which is at the very least asexual former likely both asexual and infertile Either way it's doubtful that They will be reproducing in these Forms
  3. Shards don't have bodies so it's unlikely they could have a child at least in traditional way. Theoretically they couldn't make a child or at least a creature that half its DNA. Or maybe even a clone of them. But unless they gave them special powers There are mere ancestry would not grant them anything new.
  4. Exactly the second form is slave form I mentioned it already. All Other forms are in the neuter gender And Therefore infertle. My point still stands.
  5. good theroy but wrong only mate form and slave form are fertile we have wobs say as much
  6. Respectfully I disagree odium surge is division.
  7. Isn't there a perpendicularity on the sorcerer's island? Wasn't that the hole point of her setting up shoe there to control off world trade?
  8. Living things are not excluded from this principle, Parents have limited authority over their creation (children). Well admittedly making a living thing doesn't grant you the same level as authority as a non living thing it clearly still grants you some authority. This isn't a "matter of opinion" It's an established fact recognized by every culture, civilization and tribe. "Predating the shattering and being independent of Ado shows that he didn't create everything." This is profoundly wrong 1. Almost everything Ado Created was before the shattering. How can you say that being before the shattering means that he did not create it? 2. The so-called " Independence" Of the athers is highly disputed in world and cannot be assumed as fact. "Thus, your argument about creating things giving you authority over them, meaning you are their god is moot." Even if The Aethers were correct This Would only mean that he wasn't their "god" as For scadrel he created the creature that made them so yes He would still be considered "god" of scadrel. So it comes down to whether the aethers are right or not if They are not then Ado is God At least given the evidence that is so far presented. That wob only says what the aethers claim. People in world are inclined to disbelieve them and I agree. @Duxredux Having authority over someone doesn't mean you necessarily have complete over authority over them. Authority can be limited. As citizen of the United States the US president has authority over me but there are limits to what You can use the authority to do. I never said that parents have unlimited authority over their children but they do have some Authority. "Authority is something that people give to others, it isn't intrinsic" That's a democratic perspective. It is hardly universal and even we usually make exceptions For certain kinds of authority. And it is certainly not timeless. "Creators generally do have power over their creations, though not necessarily forever or to the same degree. From a certain standpoint, even for someone religious, God only has as much authority as the person is willing to give them, with the accompanying consequences." Again I'm not necessarily saying that a creator has complete and total authority. But it doesn't have to be qualified as God. Even in Abrahamic religions the authority of God has limits. And even more so in other religions. "Ado is about as well known to us as Christianity was known to East Asia in the 6th or 7th century (as in, not very well at all)." Not disputing your point but this is historically inaccurate. Forgive me for ninetpicking here but I have to use my history degree for something. But there was Christian presence East Asia far longer than people realize. Small presence of course but a presence nonetheless. Ironically Christianity made it to China before Buddhism did. I recommend you look up the 4 Christian sutras written in the 7 century.
  9. But if they saw themselves as together shouldn't the stormlight and surgebing work for both.
  10. Funny my theory was exactly the opposite it is adding anatomy will turn harmony into Discord. After all what is harmony but 2 things working together. What is Discord but 2 things working independently.
  11. Your assuming that they would still be conjoined if one bonded a Spren but if they see each other as separate shouldn't the bond make it so?
  12. OK then suppose that you're right and you have no authority over your creation Then You must view all patent law as unjust then correct? After all What right does a creator have over his creation? Predating the shattering is immaterial. Lots of things created by ado Predate the shattering it means nothing. Probably have a point about scadrel But then again they are only one part of the universe and far from the norm.
  13. But the shards are part of ado As such I'm not sure having them create scadrial changes anything. The Aethers claims Are highly disputed . "But also I don't think that he necessarily had authority, even if he had created all of it." This statement is self-contradictory. I create something that I have authority over if I a piece of art who has authority over that art ME Because I created it. The act of creation gives authority by its Very nature.
  14. So you don't think Ado Created the universe within the cosmere? Why is that exactly?
  15. 1. Correct sentience not equal authority but to have authority you must first have sentience. 2. Well did he create the universe? If So then he has by definition authority reguardless of how he came to be or what he is made of. 3. Define "human" interference in a cosmere context. I mean does an invested immortal like a elantrian for example count as human? How some one who's spirit web has been fundamental changed by a divine command? Are they still human enough to be counted as "human" interference?
  16. I will give you my definition of phenomenal next shame so you must give me your definition of natural. Phenomena, Something does not have mind and so therefore cannot recieve prayer or bargained with, mediated with or give commands. As for yours answer would I call the a living sun a god if I was using a none Abrahamic definition then yes. So long as it had authority and power. Now how to you define Natural and why do you think it excludes a divine being?
  17. You don't call a sun a god because you don't think it's self-aware. By definition something that is self-aware is not a phenomena anymore than you are a phenomena.
  18. Red Does not necessarily mean corruption. For one thing in oathbringer we see a number of non-red corrupted lesser Spren. As you pointed out the unmade are corrupted but most of them Are not red. Ulim is red but we know he cannot be corrupted Spren . Sense according to oathbringer Only lesser Spren Could be corrupted until recently.
  19. Not all corrupted Spren are red We see examples of this in oathbringer. And we can't assume that red always means corruption. More importantly we know that corrupting true Spren is a new phenomena. So no void true Spren are corrupted.
