Yeah the 24h timing, then moon cycle, then seasonal/annual and life time. Pretty amazing how many clocks a living organism can have hard encoded in their DNA.

It all can be modified by just subjecting a being to various light/dark cycles.

I love Red Squirrel. He is my favorite internet naif. So clueless. And then when he thinks about and builds some of his projects, he seems like a pretty sharp guy. It's great.

Self centered too. Every post has an 'I' and I find it fucking annoying how he posts about nuisances of daily life and mistrust of USA dwellers.

If he thinks the USA sucks, he should be glad he's not a Canadian!

oh wait...

Has anyone mentioned yet that the OP is completely wrong on every single point?

And yet apparently he's a fairly successful professional. It always amazes me how intelligence and pure stupidity can coexist in the exact same person.
you can`t prove the OP is wrong......after all you called the OP wrong! Prove it....

Just because you link a bunch of factual analogies to support your craptastic fairytale doesn't mean your fairytale is factual. It's false equivalency. That's the problem with faith based arguments and idiots, they just don't know they're idiots.

Have you ever seen $100000000 dollars in person? Well then my flying spaghetti monster is real. As real as your god.

A funnier story is about how you go on and on about Windows 10, smartphones and your privacy, but you're on FACEBOOK.

no u

No really, I don't need to do anything because it's within you to do this. Read through the relevant posts, then bang your head against a wall until the random jostling finally smashes your two neurons together so you're able to think about it and then it will be obvious. That's the best advise I can give to such a thoughtless comeback that's also two years late.

Catholic schools talk about the ethics of this type of stuff in the 6th grade, like literally.

People who never had exposure to it are the ones with their minds blown. Which aren't the religious types.

This one is pretty good. :awe:


Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?

Student : Absolutely, sir.

Professor : Is GOD good ?

Student : Sure.

Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?

Student : Yes.

Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent.)

Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Is satan good ?

Student : No.

Professor: Where does satan come from ?

Student : From … GOD …

Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?

Student : Yes.

Professor: So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer.)

Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, who created them ?

(Student had no answer.)

Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?

Student : No, sir.

Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?

Student : No , sir.

Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?

Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.

Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student : Yes.

Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.

Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Professor: Yes.

Student : And is there such a thing as cold?

Professor: Yes.

Student : No, sir. There isn’t.

(The lecture theater became very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)

Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?

Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, well you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?

Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?

Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.

Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)

Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class was in uproar.)

Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?

(The class broke out into laughter. )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.

Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.

I looked it up, your paste first came out as a Baptist Sunday school graphic comic way back in the sixties.

Like I said religious people ironically are the ones who already have exposure to these ideas. Its the people who weren't raised with any exposure to religion who get their minds blown and try to rub it in the faces of people who are religious. Like we get it okay I heard it when I was twelve.

Next up, why praying to win the lottery doesn't work.

Are you trying to say OP isn't religious?
