Well, I've said (and say) all of the things the drawing on the
left says many times and I know I can be a bit of a clown as
well tongue emoticon
And the Universe thing;yeah, I've notice Universe has become a
synonym for God, which I'm fine with, but I wish they'd at
recognize it. I guess they want to avoid the old-man-in-the-sky
thing or trying to be different.
Then again, I see belief in Randomness to be equally strange
("The Universe is Random') because it's not; there are processes
of things that work amazingly well; not randomly.
And some people get all "The Universe is Math" and are
positively Pythagorian in their devotion to numbers. I would see
that a lot on the Science channel, but I see a lot of religious
components to Theoretical Physics as its presented on TV. I
suppose we're due for a 21st century religion and I like Michio
Kaku.
But I'm skeptical of most ideologies in any case - even
excessive skepticism, so I let myself believe at least a FEW
things to be possibly true; basic stuff like: I'm really here in
front of my computer. Even if it's a simulation, doesn't matter.
Seems real enough smile emoticon
