Did God Create Him/Herself?

Derevon! Eorl! C'mon Back!

I see what we have here is a failure to communicate.

Oh! Good grief. I forget to include the quotation marks and who would you think might be the first to notice? How are you this fine evening, Mr. Setanta?

Can one object be in two places at the same time? Yes. PROVEN quantum mechanics. They have actually photographed it.

Can two truths exist at the same time in the same place? Yes.

I think you and I responded at the same time, since your post appeared after mine right when I posted it.

By the way, the bible was written by a man, or men. And their main objective was to control other men. Religion has been used to keep the knowledge away from the common man. I see it has done a very good job of closing minds and obscuring the truth from "the common man"

PUG

How can you be
In two places at once
When you're not anywhere at all?

This is false. An object can have a probability density of possible positions, but that isn't quite the same thing as being in two places at once. It's more like having no specific position. They certainly have not photographed it. Objects with masses low enough for any of these effects to be significant cannot be photographed because of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle for position and momentum. If you disagree, post a citation.

This is exactly what I mean. How can I expect my friend Joe Sixpack to follow this deep scientific inquiry? (Of course, I understand it perfectly. HARRUMPHH!)

When you spend years in school studying some subject - Physics for instance - and spend a very great amount of time working to understand it, it is very annoying to have people just opining away, making it up as they go along.

I admire your degree of scholarship which far surpasses anything I have accomplished. The point I was trying to make was for the benefit of pug, that the bible must stand alone as a work of simplicity. It may take effort to learn it; but the concepts are not profound beyond comprehension of the average man.

You're giving me too much credit. When selecting a vocation, most people probably just take the path of least resistance. I realized very early in my life that for me, it was science/math/logic/programming etc. I have to believe that it would be the same for history, music, or any other subject. When you've sat through dozens of courses, and worked thousands of homework problems to gain a little understanding, you really don't take kindly to people presenting a lot of uninformed musing as fact.
