Ah, well I misunderstood you almost entirely then, and I apologise. I'm not suggesting you can't predict anything, just that we are still at a period in time where we can only be too vague in our understanding on the causation of the universe.

yeah. suck his dick.

STM 12-09-2011 09:52 AM

Eh, it beats an argument.

What are you talking about? Arguments are great. You can't beat that with some cheap acceptance of intellectual diversity as though that were a resolution! Sexual favours notwithstanding.

STM 12-09-2011 02:45 PM

Yeah but, I don't wanna argue with WoF anymore, it always ends up not argument but just shouting at each other, this makes me sad.

MA 12-09-2011 03:00 PM

suck his dick some more.

mmm.

Wings of Fire 12-09-2011 03:04 PM

Oh I won't argue with anyone on the existence of God. I'm very prepared to accept a metaphysical realm exists beyond our empirical observations and it could contain anything from God to Elaine Belloc for all I care.

And I don't care, really I don't.

BM is the hardline physicalist here, not me.

MA 12-09-2011 03:05 PM

he's still sucking.

STM 12-09-2011 03:11 PM

I stopped sucking cock because I generally don't understand what he just said. I need more vodka.

Wings of Fire 12-09-2011 03:20 PM

I mean that atheism is to antisocial what I am to asocial. Belief is neither knowledge nor the lack of knowledge. As long as that belief doesn't directly hurt or discriminate against people, or in any way contradict knowledge then I see no problem with it.

STM 12-09-2011 03:22 PM

I'm gonna try again tomorrow, mate I'm not in a siency sort of trail of though right now.

uh, but we can find out what happened thirteen billion years ago? We just lack the technology.

Well, actually, we do know to a significant level of detail what happened thirteen billion years ago. We can discuss in detail what happened within the first few seconds of the Big Bang occuring. Every new advance in technology and theory simply pushes back the horizon of knowledge a few more milliseconds.

Note the above comment. We know shitloads about how the universe came to be like it is. Of course, we will probably never know what happened in the first instant of its existence, but that doesn't mean that we should ignore everything else that we have discovered.

Can we NOW talk about how Pluto is no longer a planet?

Wings of Fire 12-09-2011 07:15 PM

I'm still trying to repress it.

pluto is a planet,well they removed it from the list of planets becouse of its mass... we couldnt just say its an barren rock... also those guys who said that pluto isnt a planet becouse of its orbit is wery wrong,many planets have eliptical orbits,rare are those who are circular.Even earth has orbital eccentricity,but not as noticable as some outer planets.

STM 12-10-2011 10:36 AM

it's not the ellipticity of the orbit, just how wildly it swings out of place. Pluto is a micro-planet. It has its own fucking title. That's pretty damn cool. Chin up Pluto.

anyone see the luner eclips that happened recently, I only saw the end of it as I fergot it was happening

STM 12-10-2011 01:21 PM

I saw the sky go red but unfortunately there was a house right in the way of the moon, how was it?

LDG519 12-10-2011 03:15 PM

when I saw it the top was shining, the bottom was red and the middle was dark but visible, when it got half finished I could swear there was a blue ring were the shadow met the lighted half, but that could have just been my eyes trying to tell me to go to sleep, I only wish I noticed it when it started

for me it was nicely placed outside my window so I didn't even have to get out of bed :)

Scraby 12-10-2011 03:23 PM

*slaps head hard* damn it i forgot about it argh i really wanted to see that :( i already saw one that happened on the summer but i also wanted to film this :(

Run that by me again.

Wings of Fire 12-11-2011 07:58 PM

It means I'm an unapologetic fence-sitter.

Bullet Magnet 12-12-2011 12:33 AM

You know fence-sitting is less "admirable" and more "halfway to Crazytown"?

Wings of Fire 12-12-2011 01:26 AM

I never said I was being admirable, I just don't see any point in telling people how not to think.

Unless it's dangerous, or you know, they're wrong.

MeechMunchie 12-12-2011 10:32 AM

Well in any argument with a 'correct' view, the fencesitter will always be wrong. Does this mean I should discourage you from your position?

MA 12-12-2011 12:58 PM

the fencesitter is always bi because they like sitting there.

fuckin' WoF.

being an atheist doesn't mean you have to tell people what to not think, and being religious doesn't mean you have to tell people what to think (although the bible says otherwise) you don't have to take others with you in order to make a decision

MA 12-13-2011 11:38 AM

smack his bitch-ass down.

Scraby 12-14-2011 10:20 AM

wow i just cant believe it they are so near to figure out what made the matter for the big bang!!! this will be the greatest discovery in 21th century

STM 12-14-2011 10:28 AM

So long as it goes according to plan and doesn't break down again.

Scraby 12-14-2011 11:07 AM

yeah then the big repair guy will have another episode of repairing it XD
