The world is flat! If you try to drive beyond the horizon you will fall off. Works for me! But when you get the chance, please explain how the universe was created if you can neither create nor destroy matter. "The Roman Empire wasn't planned, but neither did it 'just happen.'" |

(snip my answer) And I just noticed which area this thread is in... I need to unsubscribe(*) myself from this section to avoid a round of cyclical arguments we've already had several times before, and remember the 5 rules of being on the internet. (*) Which I can't, I know.

That isn't the point. I don't claim to KNOW how the universe, or more likely, the multiverses came into existence, but I put more weight in string theory than I would in the Catholic Church. Really, this popular notion of a white bearded "god" sending his "son" to earth(if Jesus was really god's son before he came to earth, then who was god's Old Lady?), only to be crucified for "our sins," whatever the hell that means, is beyond absurd. Almost as stupid as the notion of an afterlife. |

I'll give Mormons credit for watching out for one another, i.e. having and implementing true charity, but that's about it. Their theology is a whacked out as the Scientologists. |
