But also it could be that many of them are right in some regards. Maybe none have the whole truth, but many have pieces of it. Atheism is dubious too, because it is hard for them to define the god they are denying. Double-A

From: clivevrob on 20 Mar 2010 17:53 Not hard to figure that there is no god, as far as I'm concerned. End of the universe? For our universe, it's the big rip http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Rip for elementary introduction

In fact, the entire Universe will be liberated the day the very last debunker is expunged from This Island Universe, or mutli-verse! Although it may be a wonderful idea to put all debunkers into a rocket-ship and send them into a black hole. I will bring this up at the next staff meeting at the Octagon®! VD-VAC, whoever would have thought that you would come up with an original idea, at least in a trillion-trillion years. |
