Tololy! Why in the world do you think I’m trying to convince you of religion or anything!!!?

I’m not talking about creationism, or anything. I’m just pointing out how "shortcuts" can be made to let people stop thinking too much about things they still can’t explain.

(move away from anyone trying to convince you with anything, I’m not)

(move away from anyone trying to prove you wrong, I’m not)

Focus on the principle itself.

And sorry, my demons never rest! This is not I vs You content tololy!

I hardly moved, Qwaider, let alone jumped. If you are convinced that creationism is the "simplest" solution to existence, why, who created the creator(s) then? Can any of it be calculated? How is your theory simple now?

Besides, the theory you quote can only function when all "other" things in the equation are equal. Your Occam’s Razor is far from perfect, the evidence being in the fact which we all know and which has been proven that not always the simplest things are the correct ones. Simpler people in Jordan marry their girls off at 15, is that correct behavior?

For futher information, refer to the Wiki on Occam’s razor:

Your religion may put all your demons at rest, but remember, it doesn’t work for everyone. We don’t have to agree to make a point.

This article is talking from the quantum mechanics point of view, where
everything is possible.

Assuming that there is such a probability in this wide , huge cosmic sphere,
that some entities might gather together in a single moment to formulate your
brain some how,

since any entity in this universe, can create an atmosphere in the Time/ Space
fabric to create gravity of its own,

now in my humble opinion, i think that any atoms in this universe can gather
together in a moment to create some kind of Something,

Not my brain of course, and it will not be connected to me while i am alive

and Do you actually believe such things, it is logically not possible,
unless you believe in some form of metaphysic point of view

And so we’r all echos of a certain pattern repeating itself…this is where the dejavu thing kicks in…Or it could be Not repeating itself..and this is where the parallel universe takes place….I like those sci-fi themed theories..and time travel and stuff…but I don’t think there are any where near reality, we all physicly exist right here and now.

with that said..my work is done here.

Are you familiar with Arkham’s Razor; Simplest explanation has to be the correct one

It’s absolutely lazy, but it puts all the demons to rest

So now, read my question again without jumping to disagree by default. "Isn’t religion a fantastic shortcut for all these thoughts?"

No, not really! Shortcuts are lazy.

You know, the more I read about it, the less I understand it. It’s cool until you reach the phase where you think .. crap.. this is nonsense… I can smash my had through the wall all day, it’s never going to go through. They’re all wrong

And then you’ll be able to sleep :)

Isn’t religion such a fantastic shortcut for all these thoughts? Khalas.. god created it .. Done!

But there are calculations and numbers that back up this theory and others. However, they might not have been proven entirely correct YET. I don’t think it is futile at all to investigate the universe and what lies beyond it, I think it’s very revealing actually.

So whether or not we exist, that’s not really the question now, is it? Who cares if I am a fragment of a ten-million year old "previous universe cycle" grandma’s imagination or perhaps a shadow of her daughter? I am here, now, within the capabilities of my limited senses, and if I can learn more about anything — I will. Even if it means I do not exist in the physical sense of the word which we all understand.

I absolutely love existential space talk, but it makes me dizzy. Like now.

I read a bunch of stuff like that

Basically, according to probabilities, there’s a greater chance that we don’t exist than there is a chance for everything that we know to happen. That chance is proven by math and there’s no disputing yet.

Yet here we are.. wasting our time trying to prove that we shouldn’t exist!

Maybe we shouldn’t. No, that wasn’t a Jedi mind trick

Smart post Tololy, very smart

It seems a bit like the old "You are all part of my dream" or "None of this is real, this is just God dreaming" to me. Perhaps some scintist was pondering the possibilities and decided to see if anything plausible could be constructed?

I don’t think it’s an "impossible" theory at vall, but I don’t see how it could ever be proven or disproven. Given that the baseling premise is that nothing is real, that includes scientific evidence, right? :)
