Good morning folks. This morning on the way in to work on my regular commute a new BMW 760 Li passed me a bit over the speed limit but the light caught him. He must have been in a big hurry. The speed limit along there is 50 but most folks run 55 to 60 because it is still fairly rural. I approached the light and it turned green while I was rolling at 35 or so. The left turn lane had finished so it was easy to match my speed to get to the intersection at the perfect time. The BMW took off in a major hurry. Traffic slowed him down again and I saw him turn into the road that leads to the NBA basketball team practice facility. Probably a coach or player for the Thunder. The BMW was black and had dark tinted windows so I could not really see the driver.

He might have been a manager or something to be there at 7:00 AM. I can't imagine the players get up that early.

I was curious so I googled the BMW. The suggested retail is $136,000. Dang, that sort of coin can buy a cool car like a 911 C4 GTS. ;)

Those 7 series are the only ones with the gel seats that slowly pump from one side to the other so your butt doesn't get fatigued.

I bet the seats are air conditioned and heated. Those seats probably cost more than my entire car.

A butt massage is nice, don't get me wrong. But for that money the car should provide a stripper pole and pole dancers. Or free lap dances. ;)

GH85Carrera 07-24-2012 02:20 PM

not much between work, new dog and Connor's summer band thing.

The 911 has been out twice to date. I know it is just sad.

that is the rule, around here.

We discussed Descartes' 3rd Medetation today. The cosmological argument for the existence of God leaves a lot to be desired no matter which way you interpret it. If the cause of the idea of God must be at least as real as the idea, then Descartes could have caused it himself. If the premise is that the cause must be at least as real as what the idea represents, then there is a problem with that because it seems that the only idea of God anyone can get is by observing finite qualities like strength or knowledge and extrapolating to infinity. No one can fully comprehend inifinity or eternality, even if they understand what it means. What you visualize is just something really big or from a long time ago but you can't get past something causing itself. So can anyone really have an idea of what Descartes' all powerful, all-knowing, eternal creator is?

When the teacher said that Descartes' reason for "proving" the existence of God was purely motivated by philosophy (as opposed to theology) so that he could say that he knows things in the scientific world, I tried to bring up that he also did not want to be killed as a heretic but he did not seem to go for that so I just let it slide.

It seems to me that he could also get where he wanted to be by proving that no God or evil demon exists. The teacher seemed to imply that only God could fill the missing step. But there would still need to be some sort of infinity. Infinite nothing from which something comes? Or with a more modern idea, maybe infinite membranes of "space" on which M-Theory (String Theory) is founded. The teacher then asked me how I would prove those things and I just said how would you prove there is a God? (That was before we discussed the argument).

He did say that most agree that God's existence or lack of existence is not something that can be demonstrated to be true, or at least easily demonstrated. And he agreed that Descartes' first argument for God was not very convincing.

This class is getting interesting now. But it does raise a lot of tough questions. I don't know what I believe anymore now.
