If there are, then there's a contradiction in your argument. |

I'll let my pastor know that those online sickies I've been telling him about, are going to call him in an attempt to harass me. I have received no such emails, Arny. Behind their facades, the r.a.o.'ers really do seem to extend to you what you would call Christian love. Robert, all this rings a bell. Even the language you're using about Arny being angry etc. Of course it's true, but it's all been said and suggested, thankfully with no action, before. But I think you're well aware of what's appropriate; I think you're just sounding the group to see who stands where. Arny is indeed self-blind, which makes his judgements of others suspect and his behaviour frequently infuriating, but I honestly don't see much more to it than that. Now if you really want to see bad, even insane behaviour, pop over to aus.hi-fi and take a look at the antics of Phil Allison. Then feel grateful to be here and not there. |

Education is the real answer to people's problems. They may not enjoy those answers at a given time, but for humanity as a whole, true understanding of the nature of this universe is the ONLY answer. What is the true nature of the universe then? That it banged into existence from nothingness without cause? |

As I said to Art, to believe that the universe banged into existence from nothing without cause takes a large amount of faith. Yes - it's the nature of nothingness. Occasionally, it explodes.

Clyde Slick said: Science endeavors to explain the explainable. Religion endeavors to explain the unexplainable. I disagree with that. Organized religion endeavors to palliate the incomprehensible and ascribe it to imagined -- and equally incomprehensible -- causes. Hardly the same thing as explaining, which is usually taken to mean deducing a cause from a perceived effect. Real science (not 'borg science, which is close kin to religion) leaves a clear trail of logic that anybody can reconstruct. Religion, like a lot of fiction, demands that you suspend your reliance on reason and accept tenets on faith. |

The IKYABWAI is one of Mr. ****'s primary "debating trade" dodges. Turdy doesn't resort to it as often as his proto**** Mickey does. When people make posts like this, they tend to be autobiographical. "It's not me! It's you! You! You! YOU!" poor, poor arny......... paulie's description of Kroofulness is pretty accurate, but he left out the paranoia. Krooger's paranoia is the defining element of his mental infirmity. It's a lot stronger than just feeling disliked. He actually believes that when people disagree with him, they are his "enemies". Krooger has said so many times. The paranoia does reinforce Krooger's delusion of being a martyr, so on that count I think paulie was 100% correct. I still want to hear about Arnii's "series of strokes". Some people have said the Beast's behavior worsened (if that's possible) around this time in 2001. Maybe that's when he had his illness. |

"Trevor Wilson" wrote in message ... "Robert Morein" wrote in message ... There seems to be a divided opinion on this subject. I would not ask the pastor for more than to help Arny with his problems. Usenet addictions are common, but Arny seems to be suffering so much. If this is not a purpose of one's church, what else is there? Arny embarasses himself every day here, and in other forums, in front of thousands of people. Where there is smoke, there is fire. Giving a pastor information that would help him do his job better could save Arny from troubles that none of us know anything about. Arny is an extremely angry man. This is what distinguishes the rest of us from Arny. It appears to me that the scales are so balanced: 1. Don't embarass Arny. 2. Arny is an extremely unhappy, angry person, who needs pastoral attention, and this is an opportunity to open the door. If I were to speak to Arny's pastor, I WOULD NOT ask the pastor to exert pressue on Arny to change what he writes. My attitude would be that this is an opportunity for Arny to receive counseling, entirely for his own benefit. Whatever benefit comes to us would be only a side effect of a happier Arny. Please sound off. **Do you seriously imagine that you can speak rationally and reasonably with a person whose PROFESSION is completely dominated by delusion? His Pastor works for Stereophile? |

However, there are areas of QM which are in the realm of science fiction. These are still areas of either theory, hypothesis, or wild speculation. The nice thing about science is that nothing is written into law, until it has been proven. OTOH, religious groups expect their followers to believe in stuff where no evidence exists. Worse, when proven utterly and completely wrong (the Earth revolving around the Sun thing), apologies can take Centuries to be brought forth. Science does not work that way.

If those humans were deluded, then that is also possible. .....The Bible is a book, written by scientifically illiterate people, some 100-odd years after the death of Jesus (New Testament). It variously contains philosophy, poetry, history, fiction and other stuff. Moreover, it has been politically altered over the years and badly translated in sections. It is an interesting and highly flawed document. It must ALWAYS be viewed in that context. Treating the Bible as a kind of reference is a fatal mistake. Agreed. The Bible should not be used as a reference. As I said to Art, to believe that the universe banged into existence from nothing without cause takes a large amount of faith. **We (human beings) do not know how the universe came about. We have some theories and some wild speculation. It is quite probable that we will never know for sure. We know it's expanding. Don't most scientists subscribe to the Big Bang theory? **Yes. What is not known is what happened during the first few microseconds of the Big Bang. The laws of physics, as we know them, do not operate within the physical constraints of what must have been in existence at that time. Yes - it's the nature of nothingness. Occasionally, it explodes. Once it exploded and 77 variables, each with an infinite number of possible values, all took the precise value that allow carbon-based life to evolve. Lucky. **Not so much. The universe is extremely large and the chances of life appearing somewhere, sometime, was quite high. Now you're talking about life appearing in this universe. We haven't yet figured out how or why the universe "appeared". **The 'how may never be known. The 'why' is a nonsensical question. -- Trevor Wilson www.rageaudio.com.au |

I'm not sure what you are saying. Are you agreeing with me? What is not known is what happened during the first few microseconds of the Big Bang. The laws of physics, as we know them, do not operate within the physical constraints of what must have been in existence at that time. You seem to be saying that possibly nothingness occasionally explodes without cause. It may be the nature of nothingness, right? Do you suppose the result of the explosion is usually different? Once it was a universe. |

Before the Big Bang, the universe was smaller and very different to what is here now. -- Trevor Wilson www.rageaudio.com.au |

When Einstein proved Newtonian Physics incorrect, incomplete the acceptance within the scientific community took a matter of a few years. Just because the scientific community was anxiously waiting since a long time that someone could fill the gaps. Have you already played puzzle with 2 or 3 persons ?

Both are human *only*. -- "Nobody seemes to have actaully read what i wrote. But what's new around here?" Dave Weil, Sun, 05 Oct 2003 00:57:15 |

But you'd expect that, wouldn't you? I've just posted to Phil Allison at aus.hi-fi wishing that he could look back and see himself, and one could wish Arnie the same. Not that I'm making comparisons--Phil is a far gone creature without redeeming virtues, a pile of screaming paranioa. Arnie can actually be a nice guy whern he chooses, and probably is very kind to animals as well. However, the nature of the self-blindness is the same. If self-righteouness killed... Combined with a total lack of self-consciousness, one simply must laugh... ....or cry. Here's a hint Paul - you're beginning to sound just like Morein. |
