Been playing with your printer gizmo again, I see.
Yep.

When you think about it, the idea that God is just a blind machine endlessly making copies of itself is not unreasonable.
Maybe it's just myopic.

Causality, right? But essentially quantum physics indicates that causality isn't as strong as had been previously thought.

Or to put it another way, what if there was no beginning?

Do you understand quantum physics, or do you have faith in it?

Science is a new religion, bow & scrape to the techno nerd.
But when they start tossing dice, just admit it's most absurd.

I have a layman's understanding. My trust is in the scientific method.

Actually, quantum physics only suggests a possible mechanism for what we always knew: We live in a somewhat chaotic universe where certain kinds of predictions are impossible.

QM does NOT explain why cause and effect is almost inviolate at the macro level for simple systems. It indicates a huge gap in our understanding of how our QM models translate to the macro level. (Or else the QM models are fundamentally flawed, despite their usefulness at the QM level.)

God you people are weird.

I love it.

Funny. That's what Aquinas said.

I'll have to remember that one for my youngest niece, thanks!

IIRC, you're only the second person to engage in twabble "poe-tree" (it's a rare and sacred fraternity, even if I'm forgetting a member) -- so congrats!

I'm sure he was a smart guy, but he didn't have as much to work with as we do today.

I saw myself buying new eyeglasses.
For weeks, it's all my crystal ball showed me, every single time.
It was a re-vision.

The rule of law, in complex times, has proved itself deficient. We much prefer the rule of men, so vastly more efficient.

I got one!

Also, new here: hello everyone! Y'all're amazingly hilarious, weird, and awesome. I'm looking forward to being a part of this community.
