Re: Mod Idea: Simulating surfaces -> Borg Technology -> Twinkie Physics -> Worldviews
wow. such a calm and intelligent discussion, im sure the Last thing anyone wants is my two bits.
not to belittle this or anything, but I think the entire arguement is fairly sophmoric:
Creationist: god created the universe on a bet once, when he was drunk.
Scientician: the universe always existed, and came into its current stage via big bang, flying monkeys, or some other popular theory.
C: thats plain silly, where did the stuff come from that the universe came from? god had to create it at some point. it cant have always been there.
S: why the hell not, or i dunno? so where did god come from?
C: he/she/it was always there, of course.
S: so the universe cant have always existed, but god can?
C: you just dont have any faith
S: ive got faith in the universe. its right here. look. (jumping up and down)
C: now thats just plain silly. how do you think you got that soul and free will to jump up and down like that?
S: I evolved from a slug
C: no, along with the platapus, you are one of god's little jokes.
