Our existence

NO the ad clear says "Red Bull gives you wings"
doesnt say you can fly with them, I think Red Bull worked out that was a waiting law suit with people jumping out of windows.

Sanitary towels have wings doesn't mean you can fly wearing those either

Anyway you digressed me, God took the picture I know he told me himself.
That's what I told the police and the psychiatrist, the 2 nice nurses as they were strapping me in for the night.

At least I wasn't alone I spent hours chatting to the easter bunny till the Pentothal wore out

well said.

the science of the universe have one big issue as far as i'm concerned -

they were trying to figure out the speed of light for a long time, and were unable to get the exact number

they were also unable to accurately determine the length of a meter.

you see, the speed of light is defined as the distance in meter that light travels in one second

one day the meter is defined as the distance light travels in one second.

speed of light and meter defines each other.

i didn't know you are allowed to do that.

Start learning about God and the Bible now if your parents did not pass down to their Biblical wisdom or put you around those who could have. Every human has to face this stuff eventually. It's called a spiritual practice for a reason.

I found this discussion to be good food for thought (even though I'm not Catholic).

It has been discovered that the speed of light isn't constant, it's slowing.

Scientists have found a way to slow down the speed of light.

They shine it through a post office.

That doesnt just slow it down, it's lost forever

I suspect death is a lot like before you were born.

The idea that the Bible is somehow the "correct" religion out of 3000 or so is pretty funny to me as I've studied all the contradictions and similarities in most of the big religions.

I want bother getting in to them, because I'm not going to convince someone who believes their religion is the correct, just like they aren't going to convince to believe in the book that they ignore large parts of.

It's also by far the most printed book every year

You write that a lot of research in physics, such as hypotheses for the early universe, is “religion masquerading as science under the guise of mathematics”. Could you elaborate on that?
There are quite a few areas where the foundations of physics blur into religion, but physicists don’t notice because they’re not paying attention. It’s a lack of education in the philosophy of science in general. For example, the most commonly accepted story about the beginning of the universe is the big bang, and to some extent this is really just the simplest way you can extrapolate the equations into the past – and then you can add inflation, which is an exponential phase of expansion; or, like Roger Penrose, you can make it a cyclic universe. But maybe it was a big bounce, or it started with the collision of membranes. These ideas are all possible – they’re all compatible with the observations that we have. But I would call them ascientific – the kind of idea that evidence says nothing for nor against.
