A Scientific Parallel To Religious Questions

[Silvercrest]

Fine. Now I want him to explain why he created Leap Year, the infield fly rule, and mosquitoes.

Leap Year was clearly just a rounding error.

What?? How can a perfect Robert make rounding errors?? My brain is exploding. I cannot reconcile this discrepancy between faith and facts.

Of course! There's only one explanation. Aye! RojoHen is a heretic, sent to mislead the unwary!

Get thee hence, apostate! You're lucky Robert doesn't cast you out, or smite you, or something.

 

[YellowSubmarine]

I believe that every deity is required by law to file rounding error report every 12 months asserting that they haven't made any rounding errors in the last 11.99999997 months.

 

[Silvercrest]

Wow, who knew? And all this time, I thought "God's Law" meant something else.

No. The existence of life, current or past, on another world tells us nothing about any creator, god, or other form of Intelligent Design.

Sure it does such existence can lead us to an understanding of when the oldest life in the Universe first came into being depending upon how far away from the center of the Universe the planet with life on it is as well as how far between the Earth and the center of the Universe the planet is. Much like the rings on a tree we can trace the growth patterns of the Universe back to a single seed.

You mean the very edge of the known universe?

This conflict between imaginary beings BORES me.

Faeces? is that fairy poo?

No, it's feces spelled by someone who lives East of the Atlantic.

That would take an arbitrarily long time to triangulate, though, even if the conditions for life were uniform throughout the universe - and assuming, of course, that the centre of the universe is located in three-dimensional space. A popular view of the universe's topology is that space is like the surface of a balloon, with its expansion being similar to a balloon's inflation and with no centre per se, or at least not one that you could locate by travelling along the surface / through space.

Shit you folks are screwed. TRM is about to forget you out of existence.

With apologies to god Rob, and also Zager and Evans


In the year 2525
If Robert's still a god
If Dryson's still alive
We may fiiiiii-i-i-iiind

Star Trek BBS is still goin stro-ooong
Robert God, He's a' gettin'along
Nothing really much for him to do-eeooo
'Cept make shit up for me and you-eeooo

In the year 4545
Dryson still will try to wool our eyes
With the things he tries pass as Sci-eeence
Poor Sojourner, he just feels like up and Dyin'
Good news, it's all made up so don't start cryin'

In the year 5555
We'll still be lookin'
"Center Universe"
See, Ole' D, he promised it would be there-eeeaire
God Rob and Silvercrest, they're pullin' their hair-eeeaire

In the year 6565
The Sci-Tech thread approaches Googleplex
And Google, too, will pro'ly still be there-eeeaire
Makin' poor 'Bonz still look for SpamSpyWare-aaaeeeaire
And with the other Mod's she's pullin' her hair-eeeeaire

In the year 7510
If David's comin', He oughta make it by then
Maybe He'll look around Himself and say
"Guess it's time for the Judgement Day"

In the year 8510
God Rob is gonna shake His mighty head
He'll either say, "I'm really pleased where my Posters have been"
Or tear it down, and make it up again

In the year 9595
There'll be another post by you-know-who
He's taken everything this Thread can give
And he ain't put a single thing back i-eeeiin

Now it's been ten thousand years,
We have posted through the jeers
And for what, we never knew,
Now the reign of BBS is through

But Dr. Severin's got one more post, it's true.
Pithy and timely, and a little blue-eeeooo
We all look forward each to what we say-eeaay
So we won't fear another "Judgement Day"
Ooooooeeeeeoooooohhhhhhhh

With no insult intended to any posters! gods! mods or Odds!
And we got a few "Odds", present poster included!

'Is God in show business, too?'

 

[Robert Maxwell]

In all my years on the Internet, I never expected someone to make a version of "In the Year 2525" featuring me as a god. It's good to know life can still surprise me.

Uh, I mean. My imagination is awesome!

Yes to edge of the Universe and the center of the Universe as well. If we can trace the evolution of each life form on the Universal Ring we can come to a point where life first started and from that point into the realm of the process of creation itself.

 

[thestrangequark]

^Are you actually interested in learning about things like cosmology, evolution, and biology? Because from your posts it's hard to tell.

If you are actually interested, I can give you a basic outline of what's wrong with your premises in that last post, and I know there are people here far more knowledgeable than me who can go into some good detail.

 

[Silvercrest]

Evidence to date suggests he's not.

 

[HIjol]

I have also tried many times to engage him in some meaningful conversation. No luck so far, but if there is a Cosmic Brass Ring on the "Universal Ring", I'm goin" for it!

 

[Silvercrest]

What do you think we win?

 

[HIjol]

"Secrets of the Universe"?

That or an autographed copy (paperback, used) of

"Chariots of the Gods: Unsolved Mysteries of the Past
Paperback– January 1, 1999
by Erich von Däniken (Author), Michael Heron (Translator)

now THAT is what I am talking about.
And all three of them signed!

If we can trace the evolution of each life form on the Universal Ring we can come to a point where life first started and from that point into the realm of the process of creation itself.

That makes no sense at all.

If there's life in various parts of the universe then it must have developed independently from each other. It's not a "process" that moved from one part to the other.
It's not a "process of creation" but many independent, separate "processes of evolution".

Your reasoning is so confused here.

And, Dryson, as I often do try to engage you in some coherent conversation, the problem with your so called "Galactic Ring" is also the meaning of my location under my Avatar, "A Circle Has No End" If it were possible, on some measurement scale, to trace the evolution of life forms, there would be no "first." Only an endless ring, circling around and around, but never beginning or ending.

 

[YellowSubmarine]

I don't see what's so hard to understand.

It's talking about heaven, which was originally located on mount Olympus, but has since moved twice across Universal Small Rings, first to Olympus mons and then to a peak on Pluto, because of the accelerated expansion of the universe. Heaven constantly levitates at exactly at two rack units above the ground, leaving space for Google to ship the servers with your personal info when your access to heaven is being assessed by God herself. The entire complex does perennial revolutions around the central vault at a velocity of one attolightyear per petashake, drawing the Universal Middle Ring. Inside the central vault there you have the clockwork of the universe – the series of gears that makes it up – and inside there is the Universe Big Ring, a gear spun by Kandalf that envelops the universe and culminates in the ring around Uranus.

 

[HIjol]

Ah! Claro!

Pluto! Davvero?

Mi sento male. Ho bisogno di un dottore!

Sbrigati!
