Emizzon, you also answered, "what is gravity", in your responses.

I am having trouble with it too. It seems to me that Religion thrives in the universe of the unknown. I enjoyed writing this little poem a while back

God has been in the sky
God has been in the stars
God has been at the essence of life and the unique character of man
Through time man has pushed God progressively farther from his own reach and experience. At what point does;

God become a has been?

I guess the whole point with this religion thing is that in a world where the “fruit of knowledge” is exponentially attacking the unknown, Why should we let religious wackos control any government?

This is a wrong question. It's just as wrong to ask why universe exists or have you stopped beating your wife.

Gravity is a matter of reality, there is no why.

I probably should have used the question "Why is there gravity?"

Absolutely! According to every religion I’ve read about, wherever you can’t see…. That’s where God is.

Or is that cockroaches? I keep forgetting.

Finally! You're catching on!

Cockroaches never die. God Never dies. Therefore, God is a cockroach! We've solved the riddle, the great mystery is no more!

you cant disprove god, and you cant disprove a talking walnut wearing a construction hardhat, therefore god is a talking walnut wearing a construction hardhat. IT ALL MAKES SENSE

Can you disprove a band-wagon?

Airiek · Post by **Airiek** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 3:35 am

do you mean a bandwagon in the financial or physical sense? Even in the physical sense, a band wagon is a concept, or idea which we have created a a label, but to disprove a specific one it needs to not be there for you to disprove it, perhaps the fact that you need to disprove something makes it impossible for it to exist. maybe not. to disprove it you would need to show that there is no proof of its existance.
