Some like the high road with their heads in the clouds, looking down their noses from the heights of their own self-esteem, haughty with disdain for those they deem lower than themselves. Some prefer the low road, creeping along quietly, innocuously, inoffensively, making scarcely a ripple in the waters they cross and not a footprint on the path behind them after they've passed. When they have gone on their way, where they have trodden, there's not a trace they had ever been. Some choose the short way, dashing through life impetuously, with little regard for their own safety or well-being or that of others, immersed in the thrill and exhilaration of life streaming by. Some dawdle at the way stops, fixated on a feature of the landscape, obsessed with a certain event of exultation, waiting in vain for one unique moment to repeat itself, to catch a fruit that had already fallen. Then there are they who choose, in my mind, the best path of all, the scenic route, long, winding, sinuous, sometimes steep but more often of a gentle grade, easy on the feet, with wonders and marvels to meet up with and sprawling vistas and astonishing and sweeping panoramas around the occasional turn. It's the longest way, dipping here, in a shady valley, there, cresting a sun-drenched hill. From thence we espy the illimitable horizon, irresistible, beckoning. It requires our constant attention, sometimes easy, sometimes hard, especially when--at last-- our feet grow weary and our footsteps falter. Then, we climb the hill to the city gates at sunset, where we cross the threshold to our final destination, the place where all roads lead, for in that regard alone, all roads are equal.

Ha ha ha ha we are caregivers, I am a Hospice liaison caregiver ( my lady just passed a week ago today) and Hammer took care of his mom for years and we became good friends, you gotta be a caregiver to get us. Hammer is emotionally celibate to a lady love and I am happily married. He is just being a caring friend, for a caregiver who has a broken heart. Come on Free, Hammer can write!!!!!

+Hammerclaw Posted August 17, 2017 #211 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) In our struggle to interpret the existence or non existence of deity and the meaning to life, whether it be religious or secular, one finds unexpected wisdom in the most curious of places. This is why I highly recommend this book. It is among the most thought-provoking, deeply disturbing and emotionally relevant works of allegorical fiction I ever had the privilege to peruse. A warning; it's a hard read, not because of the way it is written, but because of what it is written. The style is rather beautiful in it's melancholy dissonance.

As far as I am aware, science does not seek to prove or disprove anything--what it does is measure the strength of evidence against the null hypothesis. If the evidence is in favour of the null, it is accepted; if the evidence doesn't support the null, the null is rejected. Please don't confuse "rejecting" or "accepting" the null as proving the null correct or disproving the null--it just indicates that the evidence at this current time is in favour/not in favour of the null (this is also why there is something called confidence intervals in statistics, and why 100% does not exist). Thus: no. Quote Could a type of technology detect or measure "God"? I'm not sure. I don't believe so, but firstly we would have to know a couple of things, such as... What is the definition of "God"? We need to know what we are measuring or trying to detect before we can, you know... detect it. Is such a thing possible given our current understanding of physics? Do we have the means to navigate the entirety of this universe? Given that the universe may very well be infinite, this would imply an infinite amount of time to search... thus we would never, ever know. Assuming a finite universe, we may be able to detect it. Quote Is there any proof or otherwise of "God"? Anything at all that is beyond just speculative belief or disbelief? Certainly not. If there was, scientific textbooks/literature would not be as they are today. Quote I personally believe if "God" exists, science and technology will be able to prove or disprove it. "Prove it"/"disprove it"? No. Provide enough evidence so as to any notion refuting it would be considered risible (i.e. refuting evolution, law/theory of gravity, etc...)? Possibly, if the universe is not infinite. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Hammerclaw Posted August 18, 2017 #225 Share Posted August 18, 2017 It would seem the only thing the proponents of science believe infinite is the ability of man to understand everything, eventually. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
