Does anyone still have a problem with what I said about Christianity making no sense at all because the wisdom of God is different than the wisdom of man? Because I can post what it says in the New Testament to show where I got this notion from. 1Cor 1:18-25. I'm just wondering, how many people here actually know that the other dimension mentioned in this topic exists or has any insight into how it works? -------------------- The great light bulb converses its thoughts in a fashion most particular to its complicated nature.

Gee, sir you are getting philisophical on me. What have I done to deserve that other then have missing vocabulary? And use an abstract concept to describe something else? Unlike the language I used to describe them there is no arbitrarity to anything I've said about the real world. You will obey the laws of physics and chemistry at all times. Failure to comply will result in you immediate deportation to a place more suited to such flamboyant outbursts. And you Don't seem to have understood what I meant by chaos. I said total chaos was a mathematical concept didn't I? I must've forgotten to. I know that with real total chaos you would never even see such a thing as uranium or oxygen. Those are Very complex elements. Lots of critical structuring. I just brought that up because people are always using that as evidence against what I say about this subject in arguments in the non internet world. I hoped people would know I was down to earth enough to realize that if the entire planet was a mix of chemicals that it still wouldn't really be total chaos. It would still be confined chaos however. Thank you one known as "The Creator" for correcting that, I am missing words a lot now days.

As in what the first chemicals on the earth supposedly did to form some of the structures necessary for life according to the experiment I mentioned earlier. Chaos on a non-mathematic level such as randomly pressing the keys on a typewriter. You will get letters, they will be in a horizontal line, but what do they say if anything at all? You did all the right moves, you pressed the buttons, But without a set of guidelines. I meant true order as in a reasonable, coharent sentance. And by true chao I meant total chaos. No rules. Although I think that experiment might have been quite biased in that regard although it was still just a mess. So I don't consider that experiment to be actual chaos but it was close enough despite being a hightly controled experiment. A certain amount of elecricity for so long in such a place. Certain chemicals in unchanging proportions. These all prevent it from being total chaos, but there is no real control over the process. And no truly orderly result occured. Only some of the many necessary components occured but with many toxins. This is only getting the appearence of a successful result, if you ignore the things that make it a failure but nonetheless, it just looks like it worked. If you look at all the evidence together though it looks like proof that the earth didn't form anything this way. And maybe couldn't. Edit: Boy I wish I could explain things better, I used to be better at it you know. Somewhere in there is my criteria for order and chaos. I think of order at all as a structured thing. And true chao is total as opposed to confined.

quote:Didn't that experiment also produces a lot of toxins? I also find it interesting that it cannot be proven in an experiment that order comes out of chaos. Like many scientists claim happened. And by order I don't mean a part of something ordered or something that appears ordered, I mean something truly ordered. And I also mean true chaos, not something involving something as structured and orderly as fractals. Edit: I just noticed, does anyone here has any idea how much work it takes to create a stable orbit. The best that could occure without a lot of course correction would be very elliptical and even very unstable. Something ain't it. Another edit: I also don't claim to know what conciousness is. But I do know that brains make up the interface with the outside world, also that they are quite important for things like memory and automated functions. And sending electrical impulses to various places voluntarily. And math. Come to think of it, A human brain can do all the things a computer can. But can a computer ever truly think the way a human should. It can have the illusion of thinking if programed to carry on a certain way, but what I mean is redefining the pattern of thought itself to respond to new problems on its own. A computer is really just an overly fast version of certain parts of the human brain. Maybe better in some cases too. Or maybe all any brain is is a computer that operates along unusual nonlinear lines with a different operation system and, what it is that really makes anyone or thing alive in a way other than an insect is a creature within taht controls these neurons.

Hey everybody, guess who was the very first person ever to rate The Man Sir Jeff Vogel Hisself! ME!! I gave him five stars. :eek: :eek: I also bought Exile 3 when it first came out. As far as I can tell anyway, it was around 9 years ago. :rolleyes: Remeber the first version of Exile 1. :D And accidently signed up for two accounts on these boards but didn't know it. :confused: Say what?!?! :confused: ALL HAIL...

You know, maybe I just share a lot of life's viewpoints with Jeff but it seems to me that he has done a very good job keeping the situations realistic. In a war you'd be amazed at how a good side can have the worst secrets. It's not uncommon for a burned out fighter of a rightous cause to abandon all semblance of sanity or morality much like Tuldaric just out of their sheer desire to see some justice in a world otherwise plagues with evil. Such people often sacrifice what it was that made them who they were in the begining when they passionatly faught by the rules for the greater good. They may not necessarily ever switch sides but a lot of monsters do get born out of necessity . Some spend the rest of their lives rather conflicted. And as I've often seen some of the worst people ever can look so right and morale, or even just sane, kind and wonderful, while in other cases the only right side is not at all what it seems. sometimes in a situation the coldest, meanest, scarriest people are somethimes the only ones who care about the lives of others, buried under mountains of hatred from years of combat with morbid personality quirks they are yet gripped with an outrage at seeing people become victims of the former. -------------------- The great light bulb converses its thoughts in a fashion most particular to its complicated nature.

You know what I really miss? Being able to set items down on tables and other such place. Also, the ability to carelessly hurl fireballs around without a target in mind. I mean, those were really great features. Man Exile 3 was a great game. Edit: I'd also like another editor like E3's where you can go through munus of all the game items. That was the greatest. Oh I really hope Jeff puts those things back in.

I wouldn't normally start a topic like this but the curiosity started getting to me. Does anyone ever think or wonder about: What language their thoughts occure in? What color words in their head are?

Dyslexia. It's no real problem if no one lets it get to them. Edit: I am a bit unsure of who you meant and I'm not sure if its just me out of context again.

Worst Man Ever, how on earth ever did you get so much faith in the human race? Humanity has strayed greatly from God. And its logic and reasoning in an affront to right minded creatures everywhere. And justification of faith, There is a difference between why it is the good or right thing as opposed to why it makes sense. And God didn't create the world by wisdom alone. I also think that this may mean that he had a plan for it as well as setting its parameters. And his wisdom is far from universal since the fall of man. Very far, quite higher in fact. Human logic is not a product of God, it is a perversion. God invented logic but all the natural man has is corrupted logic fit only for life in this world. Ridiculous and corrupt logic for a fallen and screwed up world. God does want people to believe first. Its in the new testament. Glory of creation? Its only a memory, a rusted out former world champion race car with no engine and no wheels has more glory than this world itself still retains. And by the way there is a lot of logic to Judaism and Christianity but I left that out because it was different from the world's logic, which has no part with it. God did not by the wisdom found in the world do anything and that's obvious by everything about how he operates. Example: He stays hidden instead of showing everyone that he exists. I didn't say coincidenses were the reason God existed I said that it appears to worldly minded people that thats all there is when confronted with non-solid evidence. Example: A situation of extremely unlikly occurences changing the outcome of a situation right when a person prays to God to do so. With eyewitnesses to it all. Meaning that if I asked God to do anything in front of you and it happened, unless you at some point admited that God did it, all there is in your eyes is a coincidence. And in a way, logically so. But which logic would you be going by? What I'm saying is on point of view from patterns of thinking. Gravity can be measured can't it? Gravitational force? You can definatly see it in action at any given time. You are bound by it in many ways. What is there between evolution and Gravity? Something measurable, detectable, essential, vs something no one has yet to find any hint of the existance of outside of coincidence. My argument here being on what a religion is. Evolution is no more a science then Catholicism. Science has lost its way. So evolution can be explained can it? Then why does the story of how it happened have to change every ten years as someone finds another horrendous flaw with it that makes it look more ridiculous to the intelligent mind than any other thing to date. Even by this world's reasoning there is no logic to it. Unless you just throw all real and true science out the window. There is no more evidence of evolution happening in the English Peppermoth than there is evidence of God creating it. Sorry I don't have perfect English your majesty. I know that real science is more than just hollow and pointless philosophy used as an argument against ligitimate religion, or an feeble excuse to feel proud of one's self for being the most advanced creature in the known world. Do You? Body of evidence, Where is there evidence of evolution where there is none of creation? And furthermore, I don't care if its true or not but it is an embarassment to the scientific community and they don't seem to realize it. And don't give me a lecture on objective truth, the truth is its foolish to have an image of the universe conformed to your view of things. I have no view of the universe except what God tells me, Thats a lot better than putting getting my view of the universe from a bunch of highly educated insects and my own faulty perceptions. By the way, I don't go by my own perceptions, I'd be wrong and foolish to try to say I have an idea whats going on in the universe as I know it, anyone who does only makes a fool of themselves. Asinine, warped, ignorant, self-congratulatory, thank God I'm only vaguely annoying and not anything you should be worried about. But how am I self congratulatory? Do I really sound that conceited? Just because I tell things for the way they are doesn't make me proud of it. I don't do this to feel like I'm better than anyone. I'm more concerned with people thinking outside the box. Coward? yes you're right. Thats why I stand up for what I believe in. And the state of my cerebral cortex is not open for debate anyway. For your information I do have brief periods of dyslexia. But I'm not going to give any medical information out on the net. Edit: actually I have more dyslogia, but I do have BOTH. Okay, I'll be honest with you. I have suffered extensive damage to the temporal and frontal lobes. But that's no one's business. Ypu may not think so by how well I seem to do mentally but that is just an outward appearence. I actually tpye like very poorly. My poor english has an excuse! Just llok up what I have to go through in my everyday life on the wikipedia. You'll see that I have a lot to deal with and its not my fault if I repeat myself. I try not to.

I know my religion is completly unreasonable. Jesus told about it himself, God did many of those things and still does many things in such a way as to confound the wise (plus other reasons). I don't think Christianity needs any explaination from a practical standpoint. God said that the wisdom of this world is foolishness to him. From our point of view in general everything about God is either backwards, contradictory, or insane looking. Unless you happen to get born closer to him than normal,even then he can turn into an enigma on you if you try to bind him by human logic. After all, he himself declares that "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts". It's not until one disregards appearences and logic as we know it and accepts that if God really does exist then, he is right and you may be wrong that any information about him can or will be given as to his nature or workings. He doesn't want people to understand and then believe, he wants them to believe and then he'll let them understand. But whether you are born close to him or not he can't be fully comprehended or figured out ever. So it's pointless to find a problem with Christianity or Judaism on the basis for want of logic, there was never intended to be any humanly discernable reasoning. I think of religion itself though as a complex series of beliefs. I often view modern science as a religion. Now this is from a none asscociated viewpoint. Think about it, No person has any real scientific proof that God even exists, just faith and a lot of what often appeares to some to be amazing examples of coincidence. Well, evolution hasn't any real scientific proof either does it. There's a lot of superficial appearence that it happened, but no one has ever yet been able to get one dynamic of it into action or even explain it according to the logic it claims to uphold to. Nor has any evidence of it been found. Saying "well it took a million years" is no good explaination for why something strictly biological seems to have broken its own laws of function. People in the "scientific" community will argue all day that it happened though. They're excuse for a religion they can handle is "well this is science". Is it really? So what if it is true? In its present state is it anything more than a religion? This is just an intersting pit of debate on what makes religion a religion, by the way. Edit: I left something out.

Well, the whole point of most of the information I gave was either to show that with God all things really are possible, as seen in my life, or to explain some things that might leave some people wondering in confusion. I've often found that the more information I give the less people understand. But anyway I got swept away in trying to explain something I never intended to talk about. I made a vague comment on my old life and just expected people ignore it. I was surprised to have to elaborate on it. I often get carried away in such endeavors. I have have a complex where I'd rather people either knew the full me of didn't even think about it. Really, don't think about it unless you think you can handle the full picture. You can if you want but I'll only be compelled by my difficult nature to straighten out the mess of misinformation. And I'm not against organized religion, I just don't think they're a good idea for people who can get to carried away with the establishment and lose sight of who the church is about. I've seen a lot of that. -------------------- The great light bulb converses its thoughts in a fashion most particular to its complicated nature.

You know I found the alien blade without any hints at all. I just walked in when I first bought the place and found it accidently. Later on I was surprised to see the anomoulous figure so vaguely referred to trying to tell me about an item I already had.

I don't know who RealityCorp is. I've only ever been 1 person here. I think moderators can check on that. I don't believe Christ is a light bulb. I don't know where you got that from, it has nothing to do with Jesus but instead A long forgotten facet of a pursona used for purposes no one on the net has ever had to deal with. Remnants of an act I put on back in another time and place. Totally irrelevent nonetheless. And have no idea who David Icke is. I got involved with something far weirder and possibly more violent. And believe me definatly more obscure. And I won't talk anymore on that in particular. Edit: and don't even bother puting any of my profile information down to explain who I am because thats unchanged from the day I first joined the boards and I was rather drunk and sarcastic, namly because of a topic that favored the Empire's right to exile people for differing viewpoints, but thats besides the point. By Further more, I don't drink very often and I don't think I've ever posted drunk. Sleep deprived, yes. with thyroid problems, yes. drunk, no.

I'm not confused. I have always known about the one true god. I was just seperated from him and although I wanted to be one of his people, I couldn't. Someone else Took his place against my will. This was one of those "survival of the strongest and I'm stronger than you" types. I had no choice, but I always knew they weren't a god because there is only one. Plus they said they got in trouble with the real one which I believed although couldn't understand why. But thats a long story and no one's ever properly explained that to me. Not confused. Oh and Allah is a different god from Israel's, unless the original moon god of Mecca changed his job description in the last thousand years. By the way I also believe that the Muslim massiah is coming but my massiah (Jesus)will get here after him. -------------------- The great light bulb converses its thoughts in a fashion most particular to its complicated nature.

I really don't have a version of God. All I have to know about him are what I've experienced first hand or read in the bible. Most versions of God get formed by circumstances such as individual donominational variations (basicly religion), but I have no backround of such a religious nature and strive to not deviate from what I personally know as true such as is seen and written. What I mean is, many churches have developed very differing views of God based on religion or tradition over time. I have no such snares and am only able to see God as he shows himself to be without any predisposed thinking. Outside of individual or denominational perceptions there are really only two gods from whom Judaism Christianity and Islam are about. Allah, the moon-god of islam, and the nameless god of Israel. What I'm saying is that I'm adhering to the original and unchanging god of Israel(original as in without any religious or cultural influences). Who himself hasn't changed at all in all of time while the theology about him has developed multiple schisms and offshoots. My god isn't someone no one has heard of. Nor is it a personal version of anything. He is written about in the Old and New Testament plain and simple. And very real. -------------------- The great light bulb converses its thoughts in a fashion most particular to its complicated nature. Neither twenty-one nor forsaken any longer, I now stand in freedom through Jesus Christ. Posts: 215 | Registered: Friday, August 30 2002 07:00 |
