How much time did you have to read you idiot? I had to work a day job. You don't even know what books I read, or how high level they were. Its hard to get a degree when "mommy and daddy" aren't paying for your tuition you moron. I knew a mathematical genius that was in community college. You know nothing. You go look in the mirror because you're the dumbass you piece of shit. Hey, don't be jealous of me just because I can think circles around you and because my sites have better page rank. You're just jealous. Get over it. The fact that you have to come in a forum and be a fucking flamer just shows how smart you are. Get a life. Read your post. You sound like such a jackass. I can afford to travel anywhere I want you idiot. And what does blowing anything up have to do with anything? What are you talking about? You make no sense.
Haha. Yes I see your page rank and it enrages me. I let most of your idiotic posts slide, but your little list was just too much. You probably keep it up on the fridge so your mom can put gold stars next to it. I’ve seen so many people like you before. You strive for intelligence, but have no idea that you’re an idiot. Thinking your intelligent, because you watch a documentary or struggle to read a handful of books a year, and actually being intelligent are two completely different things.
So the higher your IQ the more you're worth? The better person you are? I don't get it. I guess the concept of "evil genius" escaped your schema. [/quote] Maybe he didn't intend for US to be perfect. Maybe his plan, all along, was to create us in imperfection, and allow us to participate, freely in our perfection. Not sure. One thing I want to point out is that accepting the fact that God does in fact exist does not mean you suddenly understand EVERYTHING. Just as an atheist can't explain why in the hell the Universe even exists in the first place, I'll admit that I have no clue about much of anything else. On a side note, "The Problem of Pain" is probably THE one major challenge to the notion of a Christian god. When you come down to it, it's actually the ONLY rational argument that even makes sense to me. The rest ala "could god create a rock so large he couldn't lift it" is just tripe, imho.
I'm going to ignore the other members of this thread because it is not worth my time responding to their posts. I'm going to focus back on the subject the thread was started about. Why would a perfect "God" create humans that are imperfect? A lot of Christians in particular believe God is a good person, but why does he allow so much misery? Because of all the suffering I see in the world if there is a God I can say with confidence that I hate him with everything I have. How can you create a world with so much evil and suffering? How can anyone like that be benevolent? My family raised me as a Jehovah's Witness, and I have turned against their belief. The reason they tell me people suffer is because God is allowing it for a short period of time to see if the Devil can gain control out of the human race. They always tell me how if I had a child, and that child had to have a painful operation, would I allow him to go through pain even though I knew the operation would save his life? With God that is a bad analogy because God has the power to take the human species through the operation without pain. If I could give my child a painless operation, I would. I never said that you were worth more based on your IQ. But throughout history a lot of great things have been done by men and women with abnormally high IQs. I may have been bragging by my list I posted, and I apologize but I would never have posted that list hadn't some ignorant person come into the forum making posts about someone they don't even know. I admit that I don't know anything about the world, because the secret to wisdom is admitting your lack of knowledge. I just strive to be the best person I can be.
Is it the same reason why short bald men buy shiny red sports cars? http://www.thefreedictionary.com/overcompensation I mean this as a joke, but hell, this list DID come across to me as cocky.
Nothing good ever comes from religion threads on webmaster forums. I think poor Tesla is having a petit-mal seizure now. Everyone take a deep breath and pretend this thread never happened, that's my advice.
I think intelligence means little, what matters is how you use it. Kind of like the size of your dick ...
"Great Things", in your opinion must always involve math, and science, and weird inventions involving electricty and magnetism. Because yeah, it's obvious. Smart people will always invent the coolest stuff. That's why it's cool, cause it's something that most people wouldn't have thought of. But "Great Things" in my opinion, are not just relegated to sciency things. But I prefer the Saints to the Sciences, so eh.
I admire creativity more than anything else. Those who have a vision and follow it thru. IMO anyone can go out there, get a degree and have a good job. Not everyone can start something that the world uses and knows about.
Im not agnostic on the basis its a word used by religeous ppl to describe non believers. I find it insulting to be called agnostic, im so far from being religeous its untrue as you may be able to tell... Just my opinion, I was brought up in a christian family I just decided not to believe...
i find quantum physics quite interesting, but yeah it really is something to screw with your head! I personally am an athiest, and i believe in the grand unified theory. I read an interesting article in newscientist that discusses the topic of the multi-verse. Essentially on a quantum level a atom can exist in different locations at the same time, so some scientist has argued that on a macro scopic level a table could exist in multiple loacations at the same time, but it would excist is a kind of seperate reality where we wouldnt be able to see it. If it was proven true it would also back up the unified theory its all a bit like something out of a sci fi book really
