  • Meanwhile, the alien is a political refugee and freedom fighter fleeing from his own people who want him dead for —get this— existing.

    To be fair they did offer him a chance to see if there was good in him but he insulted them instead, and after that they sentenced him to be banished on an asteroid not death.



  • We also have a lot of evidence that snakes can’t speak, people can’t turn plain water into wine, walk on the water and so on.

    If I am remembering my stories correctly the snake wasn’t a normal snake but more of a representation of Satan. And I think god turned the water into wine and walked on water. We aren’t talking about an average person. Neither Satan nor God is around to let us do some experiments on.

    Claiming something which can neither be proven or disproven is what constitutes a pseudoscience. By that logic I could claim that we are in fact giant pink elefants hopping around on the moon, while imagining our reality as we currently think to perceive it. Since you can’t disprove that, I must be right. Or am I not?

    Yeah fair enough but my point still stands that comparison between god and flat earth is still a bad comparison. Considering the Earth is here right now, and we can experiment on it.

    Believing in God is about as realistic as believing the world is flat.

    That is a bad comparison IMO. We have piles and piles of hard evidence the Earth is round. Saying the Earth is flat is just factually incorrect at this point.

    But the existence of God. I would argue we have no hard evidence of God’s existence nor do we have hard evidence that God doesn’t exist. As far as science is concerned it is still a theory.

    On top of that what makes a god a God there are multiple definitions of a God. If simulation theory is correct and we are all just in a simulation would be people outside of the simulation be our Gods? Or if an extremely advanced civilization existed would they be Gods to us? Or If we as humans advanced enough could we become Gods our self.



  • That is a hard one, honestly as someone who has been health all of their life I don’t think I can comprehend what your going though and can’t put myself in your shoes.

    Sorry this will be the most boring answer but personally I would spend my final days with my family and friends. I don’t think it really matters what I do with them. We could go on a trip or say home and binge watch a TV show, go out to eat play video games whatever.

    I do think I would continue to try and figure out what is wrong with me. I am naturally curious and want to try and fix things or at least figure out the cause. I would probably grab a Steam Deck and play some games at the hospital. Kill two birds one stone.

    Please reflect on the fact that until you joined the discussion,

    Please lets not be condescending here. I will rephrase, instead of success I will say wealth. I used the two interchangeably as many people judge your success based on your wealth.

    we didn’t talk about equating success to luck.

    Didn’t you say this here.

    On the other side of the argument, the amount of people that work harder and smarter than any given billionaire and have nothing is simply staggering. If it wasn’t down to luck, they’d all be billionaires.
