So he's got the answers? Yeah... right.


You need to make up your mind.
Either someone has the answers or nobody does.

Yup. Stars getting blowed-up (supernovae) have been directly observed with the remnants relatively easy to observe by telescope and imagery. The life cycles of various types of stars are widely known by reasonably minded folks.

Of course, lots of nefarious things can happen to those photons on their way to fallible human eyes. No one has actually witnessed an individual star's birth and directly observed that same star through its life, all the way to a supernova event, so it must be all guesses.

Do you have evidence contrary or do you reject it because it doesn't float your boat?

Agreed. Wonder how many of us here would actually understand what his knowledge base is based on, ie the math, physics, chem etc. Sure as hell know I'd be lost in the first 10 words, lol.

I bow in humble unworthiness to the mighty MC Hawking.

That's one smart Edited - language removed, Z-man.

So it sounds as if you think the 'superminds' cannot get their points accross to the 'lowly common folk'?


And yes, most of what people 'believe' is based on guesses ( presented as fact until a better guess comes along )

Nothing has changed here.

This article has your name written all over it...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7540427.stm

Like these people, you are a delusional anomaly in today's world. It actually pains me to be harsh as I am sure that you are a good person, but you need an intervention. Seriously.

Is he insignificant too? You seem to have zero faith in Humans, but lots of faith in him. Why? Didn't he basically get a good PR campaign going himself, and that's the only reason that you even know his name, much less anything else about him?


Seems that he's as much of a false prophet as anyone else, and probably not deserving of your unusual adoration.

I clicked on the link and saw a reference to 'flat earth' and closed it.
Not worth my time, sir.

You don't know me ( 1 )
You put faith in man ( 2 )
Man's record always ends in failure ( 3 )


Intervention? More silly talk.

May I also add, regarding knowledge of the universe, life, meaning of life, purpose for the earth and mankind, you have taken a position that I must be wrong.

However, I do not see you presenting any alternatives except 'We don't know', 'We can't know', 'We're insignificant in the universe', etc...

Or.. Sun goes out, blows up, universe collaspes...


Yes, you don't believe a creator exists. I get that.
Belief in Almighty Jehovah does not equal delusion.
