good one sparrow and thanx. i had no idea that beatify was a word. hehe i just assumed he forgot the U in beautiful.


CHIL: if you meant beatiful instead of beautiful, your question "Do you think science is beatiful because it extrapolates from omniscience?" needs to be reworded. this includes the question "Do you think poetry is inspired or that some poetry is inspired?" if you meant inspired by god when you use the word inspired. i have very little respect for leading questions like that. these questions are like asking someone if they would bury a body in a forrest after brutally killing someone. the question assumes you would brutally kill someone.

Yes beautiful and exhillerating. It is like driving wedges in an argument but in science we let the facts prove our inspirations to be true.

No I don't mean inspired by God because I do not know your idea of God.

Inspired by a greater mind than that is available to you as rational being and this mind is wherein lies my definition of God. In other words, God is the unknown identity of humans.

Or at least as reasonably: Inspired like Shakespeare, yet still flawed, yet still human.
