One step closer to Idiocracy I see.

I don't think he's an idiot, but I think he's lost his edge in recent years. He just seems to be grasping at straws and coming up with stuff that isn't of any relevance. Like the alien thing a while back, and now this.

I also think a good portion of what he has done will eventually be proven wrong.

Hopefully, one day God will decend upon the worlds to set the record straight. I hope he starts off with, "Look, bitches..."

If there was a god, and i am sure there is not,

Why doesnt he remove disease?
Heal the sick?
Feed the hungry?

If he is real he is a fucking hypocrypte.

U did not jus link to a local file? Wut is this, noob day?

By the way, only qualification God needs is that he can bitch slapz... no need to be all powerful and all loving and all knowing. He has Shining Gloves of Bitch Slap +10 that has stunning effects and mana draining properties and works from hundreds of miles away.

Er... most cosmologists consider our Universe to be one of many in the Cosmos, which is everything. There most certainly was "something" before our universe was formed, and there is no need for a religious explanation for its creation because the laws of physics do just fine.

I was talking about the poster I quoted.

Once upon a time the US of A was about to build another one of those huge particle accelerators, in Texas if I recall correctly. At a news conference, one of the reporters asked if this will find the "god particle". One of the scientists answered no. Funding for that project was scrapped.

Scientists now realize that unless they talk about God, the public just won't buy into their scientific hocus pocus.

The idiocy you see is just a manifestation of the public at large's own ignorance of the subject. They don't find science interesting because they don't understand it. They understand God though, that's easy. ;)

Funding was scrapped b/c the Cold War ended. It's as simple as that. Despite decades of scientists explaining to congress that the accelerator would not create the ultimate Russia-killing death weapon, it was that 0.00000005% chance that a micro blackhole would develop for a femtosecond during these experiments, this being interpreted by congress as "potential to create ultimate Russia-killing death weapon," and thus funding lived on.

Once the CW was over, however, funding scrapped.

for serious.

I'm pretty sure the reason for the project being scrapped (or the funding for the project) wasn't because the public finally realized they weren't looking for the "God particle"... not to mention, I doubt that anyone really thought/thinks the "god particle" is really the "God Particle"

Edit: What ZIn said up there too ^^

yer. I read the story on this a few years back, and one of the lead scientists was describing what his congressional budget hearings were like.

He did everything he could to dodge the questions related to potential weapons development from this project (which was every question, lol), but as usual, they picked this insignificant speck of data and created their own shit out of it.

whatever, it kept the project going during all of those years so most were pretty much happy with that.

sad thing is that it was scrapped due to that same ignorant thinking from Congress. Would have been larger than what is now at CERN. :(

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_Super_Collider

The SSC's planned collision energy of 40 TeV was almost triple the 14 TeV of its European counterpart, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva.

IIRC the LHC was saying they already needed more power, which the SSC would have already provided. Major fail on the US' part.

I agree 100% about the cookies!

1 Corinthians 1:20 Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

God: "I'm bored. Hey, I know! I'll create the universe for no reason, then make man in my image, then make him a DUMBASS."

Doesn't work that way.

And we respond with, "Your documentation of your engineering work is just plain horrific."
