Hey Wizwad you have got to get off-planet sometime and imbibe in real ale! Your local Ardbeg single malt is baby's milk on Kronos.

Congratulations Yodelking!

Given that a majority of the world's larger religions claim "their" god is the only one, we now must conclude that all but one of them are actually cults. Which one has undisputable proof it's god really exist? (- and where do I sign up?)

Check out what Pat Condell has to say on the subject.

The only way is by, 'calling it a day',

- but I don't recommend it, it's difficult to then say, "I told you so!".

Surferminn · 12-03-2007, 04:12 AM

Alrighty!! Congrats, Yodelking!!

You too, Jim.

Proof?

I thought it was a matter of faith, but if you need proof, I dunno, I guess one proof is as good as another.

Wizwad · 12-03-2007, 06:35 AM

Yeah, but then there's the Babelfish, isn't there?! It's so mind-bogglingly useful that there's no way it could have evolved by accident, so it proves the existence of God. So given that He exists by faith alone, therefore, by his own arguments, he doesn't!

Stand back for God to vanish in a puff of logic.

Blind faith which is not based on some measure of evidence gets you into very dangerous waters and seems to lead almost always to fanaticism, which is always, always bad.

Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary proof if they are to be believed.

I suppose, for those of little faith. I don't suppose you remember ever believing once upon a time in Santa Clause or the Tooth Fairy or the Easter Bunny or clapping for TinkerBell? And how that changed when you got "educated" / "enlightened" ...

Good point surferminn. We are the product of our culture. As children we believe what we are told. If we are lucky then we grow up (get educated/enilghtened) and set aside Santa Clause, Tooth Fairy, and other harmless "pretend" beliefs. If we are really lucky we grow up in a culture steeped in science and reason and don't have "pretent" beliefs in the first place.

If we are really lucky our parents let us watch Star Trek !

Surferminn · 12-03-2007, 01:45 PM

Okey-Dokey, Jav. Keep up the good work, Jim!! I believe in you .

grape_jellyfish · 12-03-2007, 01:47 PM

You know, a jellyfish would be a really cool addition for the extras.

Ahh the edge of the forum, we see it often don't we? But I agree, I'd like to keep the topic on track as well. Back to the center

Jim Sachs · 12-03-2007, 01:52 PM

A jellyfish is planned. A grape one.

And let me hoist a fine glass of Andorian Ale to Surferminn, Jav, TinyTurtle, and the rest of you fine, tolerant people.

Jim, a separate toast to you

Rock is a good substrate for anemones of any size. And why not a niche for a small moray eel?

Jim Sachs · 12-03-2007, 02:10 PM

Moray eels are generally too big and dull-colored for this Aquarium, but a Ribbon Eel is planned.

Tiny Turtle · 12-04-2007, 05:03 AM

Blommers,
Good opinions but not really proof. What's the difference between a cult and a religion again? Size?

Minnie,
It wasn't me who said there were proof available (but yes I would require proof before jumping aboard).

Jim,
That's going to stump, Mike. Isn't the Dragon Moray pretty un-dull?

Also, I read this about morays - Pretty cool. Somewhat like in the Alien movies.

Jav400 · 12-04-2007, 07:23 AM

Tiny,

Yeah probably, but oh well c'est la vie.

But I'm still holding out slight hope.

Reasons people don't watch Star Trek: 60% - It’s for nerds. 39% - The show’s stupid. 01% - My parents were killed by Klingons and it's still too painful.

Thanks to Morgan, Tiny Snapshots is up and running again with "Tiny Järvafält" as the latest addition – Go have a look and tell me what you think. "We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." /Robert Oppenheimer on witnessing the first thermonuclear detonation in history.
