6/6/2011 3:37:05 PM Posted: 6 years ago Many people say God has a sense of humor.
consider this: Every individual varies in their neurological pathways through their "boxes" in their brain to reach the output of laughter from a number of different inputs. Laughter is caused by certain visual or audio stimuli, often by perception of the unexpected or the incongruous. Now...if God is omniscient, then there is no way for him to have a sense of humor... so how do you explain all the ridiculous things in nature?? I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations. A singular development of cat communications That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection, For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection. |

6/6/2011 3:56:34 PM Posted: 6 years ago Finally, we've got the silver bullet to put down theism for good; and to think, here I was believing it would require some actual thought to work out whether God exists or not.

Change any of the parameters of what is and we disappear. The ridiculous things you see are inadvertently created by nature as it tries to fill any and all niches where life can begin. Many creatures are strange for sure but which ones in particular do you think are ridiculous? Regards DL |

6/6/2011 5:18:42 PM Posted: 6 years ago I know I may be just pointing out the obvious; but surely these comical things in nature only seem as such because we don't expect them? That wouldn't apply to god

But if it is, I guess I would agree. What is "comical" to one person is not comical to another, so you can't say anything (or anyone) is objectively "comical" or for that matter, objectively "un-comical." The saying comes from things that god does being funny to us, not necessarily that it is also funny to God (we can ask when we pass away). "Wanting Red Rhino Pill to have gender" |
