    Ewallace,

    The first page was just the typical banter about symantics. The should know that PAGAN stands for People Against Goodness And Niceness.

    Yes, I read through the whole thing. Phew! They've finally settled all philosophical and moral debates, as well as semantic ones regarding God, us, and the Universe. To all those who said it couldn't be done, I say, why the pessimism? Boy those folks have got it going on over at E-budo.



    Seriously, the only interesting post was by elder999, who posted some theistic/deistic quotes from major scientists. The rest was rehash of material and prejudices I'm sure we've all seen before.

    I found it whiny
    All right now, son, I want you to get a good night's rest. And remember, I could murder you while you sleep.
    Hey son, I bought you a puppy today after work. But then I killed it and ate it! Hahah, I´m just kidding. I would never buy you a puppy.

    Truthfully, compared to this forum, they do have it going on. I would have to agree about the esoteric vs. the physics proof stuff. Both are inclusive, though. Again I say, Formulating an entirely new concept is not the same as proving (i.e.: Reiterating) the validity of something with formulas. Faith is the key to all things. Just knowing is the real truth....

    I'm not going near that thing.

    They weren't trying to marry science and religion, were they? Prove the existence of God with a charm quark or something? I hate that. I want the two as far from each other as possible.

    How about the religious ramifications of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle? That one is always fun. Did they touch on that?

    No. They spent more time arguing semantics and then harassing each other over what proof was, as opposed to evidence, theory, hypothesis.

    Peppered throughout were people saying I don't believe in superstition, you can prove god. Others came back with you can't prove love or 1, etc.

    However, there were some very interesting viewpoints and a lot of subjects were discussed around the main thrust of argument. Not a bad read, but a long one!
