(a serious post)

I can't believe none of you believe in Nob. The anobist argument has so many logical lobstrurditties if makes my toes vibrate in horror just reading your posts (and my left foot is abnobstick):

1. The universe is ordered and order implies a designer. Yves St Laurent didn't design it. Gaultier didn't design it. Gaudi is a possible contender but my money's on Nob!

2. Nature is just so.... Smashing. Must be the work of a Nob.

3. If you throw a bunch of banana skins in a trash compactor you don't get a watch. But if you throw a gazillion atoms together over a couple of billion years, you get single-celled life forms. Therefore Nob exists.

4. So many human being believe in Nob, it must be true. Well, a lot of them think he's Bob, who lives in Australia, or those two bisexual Russian performers, but we all basically believe in the same thing except for those that disagree, so Nob obviosly exists.

5. Nob is mysterious and unknowable. So you can huff "Show me evidence of Nob" but that kind of ruins the mystery, doesn't it? He's obviously not going to show off if he's mysterious and unknowable. Believe me, I know the guy.

6. Nob created you and your logic. So it follows that your logic is inferior to his logic. So you can't use logic to argue that he's not logical. So there.

7. I know Nob exists. Nothing you can say will convince me otherwise.

How nice for you.

Unfortunately, it's your existence that is in question.

Heathen! Foul blasphemer! Know ye not that the Invisible Pink Unicorn, Peace be Upon Her Holy Horn, created and rules the universe?!?! Repent of your fiendish hobnobbing about this fool Nob, and get thee hence and read the King Cheswick Version of the Holy Horny Scriptures of the IPU!

Ah, and let's move this discussion to Humor, shall we?

:notworthy :notworthy :notworthy

Thankyou.

I'm a bit pissy they moved this to humour from Existence of God. There's no existence of Nob forum, and everyone knows God is Nob in disguise.
