Ichi THAT is BRILLIANT......I know that in the tangential thinking that often bests me 'thinkos are the weakest links, perhaps the 'savants' of my mind and truly the innocents. Perhaps they are what saves my butt altogether.\nAbsolutely Brill!!!! I am going to ask if I may have permission to use this in my writing for in my speaking & writing i have for the first time just spoken it aloud...thank for the new concept on somethng I have been doing, another thing to obssess on, fair play to you mate, brain food doesnt often ome through the screen like this. and it just did.\nNow does this include the frontal and temporal lobes? Will Kirlean Photograhy show this in action? Or is it a different part of the brain where the lost socks of our lives go to?\nTHIS is a cool quesion. I now possess a new word..and it is awesome..."THINKOS"..now THAT is HOT!!!

this is the first and probably the most favorite thrown around in philosophy class. very amusing, very self entertaining, very useless.\ntake your 'reality' as you know it ... your senses, your memories, your thoughts and feelings. now, cease to exsist. not too cool, is it? no fun at all. oh, btw we are all still here, but you're gone. (i've had the opportunity to reach the edge of death twice now, i know.)\n"laters"

I agree and this is one of the most difficult issues that I have been struggling with lately.  Our ancestors of 2000 years ago did not have the science nor the technology to explain everyday events.  "Oh my gosh!  That glowing ball is back!  It must be a god!"  So, they named him Helios.  I'm just so confused as to why the Bible is still the end all, be all authority.  We've obviously made leaps and bounds in our understanding of the earth, our solar system, our galaxy and our universe.  Ugh!  I'm just so confused and find it VERY hard to follow with blind faith.

I don't understand the question, but I agree with Miz.  Keep up the good work.  I love the questions; they make me laugh.  Does anyone believe them?  Anyway, thanks, and oh, come to Pantheistic Universalism.  We are waiting.

Every once in a great while, I am floored by the brilliance of a question on this forum.  This is one of those times!!  I couldn't even TRY to answer it, because you have said it all!  Thanks for the breath of fresh air!!

Going to see the X-MEN!? YOU BLASPHEMOUS HAIRY BALD MAN! Yer goin' ta hell in a hand-basket. Its a cute one too! I originally purchased it for my daughter but she moved away and its gathering dust.\n\nThe plan is to force you into the basket, hook it to a cable that leads to the center of the Earth - and send you sailing down into da pits. When you hit bottom, yank three times on the cable so we'll know to fill in the hole. You're cooperation is much appreciated. Thank you.\n\n(And you said Creationalists are not polite! Shame on you)

I clicked on the link, but I saw that you had already been helped!\n\nPerhaps Odesseus/Ulysses was a comic hero?  I mean, come on!  A big wooden horse to defeat the Trojans?  Somehow I think this was a play on Trojan ego...  Was the giant wooden horse compensating for something?  Sorry.  I love double meanings...

Wow:  Thanks for the info about the DNA.  For those readers that wondered how the world comes into being without God creating what He alone is able and willing, such info as the DNA, let alone the rest of the whole complex of Created mass and masterpieces, it rests on this issue.  You see, you think, and you understand.  OR you see, and refuse to see, you think and you refuse to think, and you refuse to understand.  Part of that matter of Free choice.  The simple fact is, what you choose to believe is also part of the gift you were given in Creation.  You believe or not, and amazing, it gives you a part in the rest of the community.  There are adequate numbers of unbelievers, that will all affirm your faithlessness, just as there are adequate numbers of believers who will affirm your believe in pagan cult, just as there are adequate numbers of believers in Islam, or Christianity or any other form religion.  Numbers however, doesnt affirm factuallity.  Flat world theorists believe it.  Round world hanging in space believe it.  Sun circling the earth believers affirm it, as do earth circling the sun believers affirm their bit of observation.  \n   Did Noach go searching for the animals?  No, the Text says, according to Moses, affirming that GOd instructed him to write, that God caused the animals to come to the ark.  Noachs job was to build it and stock it with grain and grass, as all the animals would eat vegetarian while aboard, including Noach and family.  Is that possible?  Depends on how you view and believe.  Impossible for those who refuse to believe that GOD was involved.  Possible for those that choose to believe in such miracle process or natural process.   It is all amazing, no matter what you believe.  If you believe God created, thats amazing.  From my point of view thats acceptable.  What would be more amazing is to try to figure out how all this world in all its complexity came into being without a Creator God, since it is obviously more complex than any human can contrive.  Heck,,,we cant even create a blade of grass from nothing, let alone a human eye..or the rest of a human being.\n   The story of the group of scientists who were all working on a grand assignment, to duplicate life...and one day they all agreed, they had done it.  Accomplished the grand impossible,  they had developed a life form in a petri dish.   Eureka they shouted...we did it.  We dont need GOD any more.   THEN GOD SAID :  Now, try it without anything:  No dirt, no fire, no water, no air and no petri dish.

I agree with the previous post-I thought I could pull this one right out and I can't find a thing - though still looking.\n\nI am still looking on this....damn it must be some high government secrect...\n\nI have found out that while he was dying - he suffered greatly.\n\nok keep looking , i am getting booted out of the pc room but I wish you luck...if you ever do find out please email me and let me know at MY USER NAME at yahoo.com\n\nthanks,\n\nI really dont' know what it says - it just know that Leiden means sorrow or anguish, I know what his grave site said, how many kids he had, who studied under him, but not that he tripped on descartes shoes while being chased with a chain saw !!!!!!!\n\nI am beginning the t hink the man is still alive!  \n\nLOL

That is an awesome point and I never really thought about it like that till you said this.  Thank you for sharing your point of view.  It was scintillating.  I'm not trying to be smart, I'm very serious.  Thank you!

This is getting hysterical, Sports Fan 123 asks questions like "How is boxing scored?", "Can Someone Explain To Me How Proffesional Boxing Works?", or "Is there a 'Regular Season' in boxing?". But he knows enough now to tell you this fight is "Awesome!" Later today he'll be giving a conference on Molecular Instability. Because it's "Awesome!" (ps Fan 123 there's only one "f" in Professional, maybe you should become a "fan" of Webster's Dictionary).

I like this one I heard about the watch. If you found a watch on a rock in the middle of a field, how do you know someone made it? If you are like most these days, you'd point to the manufacturing mark on the back (or inside the cover if it was a pocket watch). So, how do you find proof of God or the Mother Goddess? If she is a creator wouldn't she continue to create? What on earth continues to create through a means which they really don't fully control? Life of course. So, we ourselves are the watch. Now what about ourselves proves that there must be an intelligent creator? Maybe our own intelligence (or lack there of at this moment in history) and maybe own uncanny ability to 'hear' inner wisdom. This wisdom has led many to extraordinary things. So, I disagree with Carl (Goddess I never thought I'd ever do that) that claiming the existence of Goddess is extraordinary. I have seen her work miracles in countless lives and there is record (yes, verifiable record) of millions more. I think the real miracle of this age isn't in finding Goddess, but in realizing how common she really is. Just as common as every watch still built with a crystal movement. I'm sorry, I think it is a small miracle that a tiny quartz crystal would be willing to vibrate that regularly so that we can all keep time.
