were you like throwing Archimedes' Fire at each other or something?:)
Thanks Lons,
I am now a born again Pastafarian :) . I was waiting for this to turn into a high minded Theological discussion but it appears that Dragoh has derailed that by turning it into a spelling bee instead.

WWFSMD?
There we go. Thread title is fixed as well as the mockery Lons. :D
my mockery knows no bounds
A game for all you pastafarians everywhere. buy your way into heaven by slapping people with your noodly appendage!

Pastafarism is more retarded, yet at least funnier than the argument between creationism and the big bang. Since both are equally mysterious, I don't see anything wrong with teaching both in a populace that is split on the belief. If nothing else, they would have a greater oppertunity to understand each others point of view. Or perhaps realize that is just as likely for all we can prove that a supream being decided to make a big bang as a tool to carry out his design. Discounting something you cannot prove or disprove on either side of the subject adds to division and retards common growth and increased understanding.
So, what's on the other side of a Black Hole?
:confuse:
Of course there is nothing wrong with teaching both. The issue is where you teach them. The FSM is a counter point in the debate about teaching Intelligent Design in a science class. The Theory of Evolution may be full of holes (and is) but it is a bonifide scientific theory supported by "logical conjecture based on overwhelming observable evidence" That is what we are supposed to be teaching in Science classes. It doesn't make it right but it does make it science.Quote:

Creationism (Intelligent Design) is based in belief and, while equally valid, is not science. Thats what church and Theology class is for.
The original Big Bang Theory isn't really accepted by scientists any more, or is at the most viewed as out of date and not really able to explain a whole lot. So is Darwin's theory, evolutionary theory has continued to evolve (ironic no?) in the past couple hundred years, and so have theories on the creation/start of the Universe since Hubble suggested his theory in the 60's.[
Depends who you talk to. The short answer is "we'll probably never know" if you prescribe to Einstein's theories on general and special relativity. String theorists think they might be able to figure it out eventually, but it's very much in it's infancy at this point. Some aspects of string theory suggest that there are an infinite number of universes out there, maybe you can hop from one to the next using blackholes? That would be pretty neat, because then time travel would be possible, although you wouldn't be travelling to your own past. Since there's an infinite number of universes according to some theories, everything is happening at any point in time. So you'd kind of skip over to another universe that happened to be 10 years behind or whatever, but the sequence of events up to that point were the same as what happened in your own universe. Changing something in the "past" in that case would have no affect on your own original universe, if you went back to it. However, you could then travel to yet ANOTHER universe that reflects the changes you made in the second universe. Of course, you could just be lazy and skip straight to the third once, since it exists anyway.Quote:

Infinity is a tricky thing!
Interesting fact: scientists have nailed down the age of the Universe and the date of the "big bang" to 13.7 billion years ago, give or take a couple hundred million years. http://www.space.com/scienceastronom...ry_030211.html
Excelent statement.Quote:
