I love this, I once got a letter with the wrong first name (spelling), wrong address numbers, wrong town name and the incorrect zip code. I had just moved to a town of about 8,000 in Maine. My guess what that *I* was the new person and they knew about me. Scary part?? It was my taxes!
"The problem with theism is that it is intellectual cowardice. It is saying: “If you don’t understand [insert concept], don’t try to! Don’t let science try to pursue it! It was God!†"
Ok, this is where I jump back in. It is possible to believe in a higher power (whom *I* tend to think of as an archatect) that designed things and set them into motion.
It is also possible to believe that science will be able to explain things if given the chance to catch up with the power of human curosity.
These two beliefs are not mutually exclusive.
As a side note I do know highly intelligent and capable people who also believe in God...One of whom is an award winning, patent holding Chemist. Intelligence, knowledge and learning do not kill belief...that is the nature of belief.
Well, to say nothing else it's gotten people talking. As a self proclaimed Agnostic my biggest problem with faith (christian) is that it is baised on a book written down at least 500 years after the fact.
That said my biggest problem with Atheism is this...the big bang happened and NOTHING was guiding/shaping/forming the aftermath? It was a fluke? And everyday I live and breathe and grow and change will be for nothing when I die?
There has to be something else because you can't distroy energy. It must go somewhere. Where? I have no clue, but it doesn't just end. That is all the proof *I* need.
Yeah, I agree with TwoDragons...my tail isn't that long..:) I did have to take a really good look though, just to be sure. A) How cool?! and B) How amazing that something so different from humans starts out looking so much like humans?
one question...WHY?? i hate the mall, I lived in a town that fought Super Walmart because it threatened our small down town area and it was UNNECESSARY!...
Sitting here watching youtube (on my laptop) (a dell BTW) this still made me laugh. I love the guys in the back ground cheering on the explosions. This is what happens if you leave boys unsupervised!! I am convinced. Now I am off to double check a) my batteries serial number and 2) if my fire extinguisher is a class D....

We will all find out in the end...
