    where'd you hear that bull?

    So what the difference between science and religion? They both ask you to have "faith".

      500 internet fights, that's the number I figured when I first joined igglephans. 500 internet fights and you could consider yourself a legitimate internet-tough guy. You need them for experience, to develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then...after...you realize that's what you are.

          Oh science didn't tell me that this fossil is from a Trex and its 6 quad-trillion years old?


          According to the book of proverbs, that fossil is only 3 years, 10 months, and 30 days old.

                  ... is approximately the time it takes me to drink half a glass of it. Expressed mathematically as:

                  HL = Glassful - (Me)(Thirst)/Tolerance for sweet drinks

                    My favorite quote about religion is

                    An atheist is a man with no invisible means of support.
                    Obscenity is the last refuge of an inarticulate motherfucker.

                        That's about where I come from on this myself.

                        My dad was an engineer who read books on the theory of relativity for amusement.

                        I asked him, when his mother died if he believed in an afterlife.

                        He said to me that math has the concept of infinity.

                        Then he said that there are things that exist that you can't use your five senses to detect but are still there.

                        Like, for example, if you think about fresh baked cookies you can almost smell, see and touch them.

                        Due to these two concepts he said he thought it was possible that there is a soul that goes on forever.

                        Science and faith rolled together.

                          I believe in the combination of both as well. I was raised in a church, and just yesterday my wife bugged me to take the kids next Sunday. I never believed in that "go to church every Sunday" argument. I do believe there is something greater than ourselves, but its more spiritual than anything.

                          I also believe in Karma. Its a bitch.

                            Same here

                            The one that throws me is the origin of the universe. I believe in the big bang but what was before that? Hawking says, "eh, well, when the universe was a singularity the laws of physics break down" - wtf??

                              PS - that does not exactly address your statement however.

                              Bottom line is you can't argue with someone who says the reason they believe something is faith.

                              I don't think the Flintstones was a documentary, but others can if they want to.

                                There has to be a God because before there was something there was nothing. Anyway, that's just what I believe. Maybe an old guy with white hair. Maybe the collective consciousness of future lives and souls that wanted to come into being but didn't yet exist. Precognitive Deity. (Wow that is uber Boulder even for someone in Boulder).

                                Quantum physics fascinates me. Particularly the oneness argument. Ms. Bulb is all over that. Maybe there is religiousity in the God Particle.

                                Okay I have betrayed myself once again as a know nothing New Age ninny who takes homeopathics.
