Thanks alot! I thought I'd be able to finish von Rad's commentary on Genesis early this week. But thanks to you, I guess I'll have to push it off to the end of the week now, because I have to read this first. Sometimes it sucks being smart. Guess I'll read it while watching WWE Raw tonight.

Friar Bellows

Yes, but what's worse is being smart but not smart enough. For then you find that the mindless pleasure of "WWE Raw" is not enough and the brain-frying complexity of inflationary cosmology is too much! What I would give for 30 more IQ points -- or 30 less!

Jimmy Higgins

Yeah, but WWE Smackdown gives the action for the IQ. But I certainly agree with the extra 30. Just when I think I have a handle on some relativity issues, I find out how off I am. The paper linked to is one tough cookie. I'm trying to understand as much as I can. Geesh, who'd think the universe would be so complicated. Almost like it was intelligently designed.

Though, my family is usually enough to keep me inline. Got a PhD working on curing cancer, got a physics teacher, a historian, a couple of nurses, an engineer. And I'm an engineer. We are all over the place. So usually I can have any question answered by the family at gatherings.

Maybe the universe isn't that complicated after all, its humans that make it seem so hard.

Damn. All this research for nothing. I always thought intelligent design made things less complicated. Let's scrap windows and go back to the glory days of 6.22 when the command interface was more intelligently designed. In fact, I think the command names should be replaced with 'randomly' generated strings of symbols to make the interface more complicated (therefore more intelligent).

I heard on christian radio this morning about how tree leaves grow at a specific mathematical ratio on the branches. They said that this mathematical ratio (which does have a name that I forget 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, etc...) is proof that god made the universe. I guess that math and science now can't be used in our own favor anymore.
