Perhaps TI is checking on us.

They deployed a Special Ops team to stop ndless Then there is also that other species of course...
On topic:
What could it be That many bots/crawlers seems a bit improbable to me.

This sounds like a cool idea, I'd be of little use but it seems like a great way of a sort of history record of milestones on omni.

And possibly if there's a demand, we could make physical yearbooks from the digital one? (on a case-by-case basis, obviously)

I don't know how easy this will be to do, but this sounds like a good idea to me.
Digital distributions seems the easiest and best solution to me and if you'd really want it physically, you can get it printed yourself

Logarithms are used to find out the power you should raise a certian number to to get another number. The natural logarithm (used here) is a base e logarithm, ln(x) is asking to what power should I raise e to get x. Hope you got it

That's a neat looking machine there I must say those cables look like you took them straight out of a Crysis Nanosuit

Personally, I believe in science. I believe that the big bang created the universe, and that humans evolved from other live forms. It just seems the most logical to me. And what has triggered the big bang? We'll never know. It's one of the mysteries of life, a gap that science will never be able to fill.
The idea that a god creates everything feels more like moving the problem. The fact that you just have to believe that He always existed, and that he is a creature so advanced that he can create everything doensn't sound logical to me, but I guess the big bang doesn't sound logical to a religious person either.
I find it easier to believe that an explosion suddenly started to exist than that a creature so advanced as a god suddenly started to exist and createdeverything. But it all comes to your point of view. There is now way to prove for the other parties that you are correct. Because there are hundreds of religions (let's just count science as one for now), the chance that you are fully correct is very small. That is why we should respect anyone who shooses an other religion as you.

It does not mean anything to "believe in science". Science isn't a religion. You can believe in God and pratice science, there's no problem for that.
When you're speaking about logic, what is logic about the big bang the appears from nowhere ? It's impossible, it must have an origin. Nothing can be its own origine. Another point: believing in God is not like loto to play for chance.

Ok, this is pretty ridiculous statement imo. Just because something isn't a religion doesn't mean you can't believe in it. I can just as easily say that religion is ridiculous because there is no evidence for (the need of) a deity. For this point, I take my stand with what ben_g posted earlier in the thread.

It's impossible, it must have an origin. Nothing can be its own origine. Another point: believing in God is not like loto to play for chance.

Yet you still claim that God didn't have an origin and just was there all the time. That sounds a bit contradictionary.

There is very little, almost no evidence for evolution, and most of the published "evidence" is either fake or turns out to be something totally different than what they and not support the theory of evolution at all (or in some cases, actually refute it). On the other hand, there is overwhelming evidence for creation and God, which isn't fake, and has not been proven to be something else.
Also, if there is a God, then there is proof that he is a Christian God. He has to be omnipotent, He has to be all-merciful, and He has to be all-Good. Nothing good can come from an evil creator.

The so called 'evidence' for a god isn't exactly trustable either and often is contradictionary too much more than evolution sometimes is(discussed somewhere earlier in the thread). Why does this deity or super natural being have to irrevocably be a christian god? I think this is where religion comes short in some places. It is ok to believe in different things, but most of the time when you ask if two gods can be the same yet in a different form, it's out of the game and the other party is being silly.

Because you are at perfection, because you cannot go higher, happiness ends. Change ends, motion stops. There is nowhere left to go because of that. To me, this is a really bad thing because ope itself comes from the prospect of achieving such a reality. But once you reach is, there's nowhere for hope to come from anymore since there is no imperfection to overcome.

And what if there's no time in paradise? All the problems you reach here disappear.

Don't you think that's a little false argumentation?

I think the main problem is that over time science and religion got separated. Churches and other societies didn't like what they saw being discovered, so they rejected it, marked it as heresy. This has carried on for so long, that people now can't think differently anymore. This leads to conflicts. If the world can't change its mind into something that accepts that both can be there, it will not turn out good for either side.

I'm not one to believe it either, not until I see hard evidence.

Really? So you have to believe in very few things. And you're doing as Pierre did. But since you need to believe to get the hard evidence in you, you're on an impasse.

Evenso, if he would be real and such only put us here to believe in him and please him and doing bad will get us ending up in hell, then I can't help but not bring up much respect for such a god. (This probaly is a very sharp turn, but I can't think of another way to express it.)

See above in my message.

Let me rephrase myself. First of all I'm a science man, so this discussion will certainly call off (possibly big) conflicts/disagreements. Science is there to uncover the 'truth' of our universe. You cannot deny that we are pretty good with doing that. We have explained a lot already and I'm sure we'll be able to explain a lot more (and with that comes the ever growing bubble of not knowing but that's a different subject for a different time...) in the future. Now I can go write an essay here or I can just say it. Lots of things (pretty much all) that has been labled 'divine' or 'Gods work' in the past has been explained by science. Like I said before, I will not deny neither acknowledge the existence God. If there is such a thing as heaven or if it turns out I was wrong in the end, then so be it. I can accept that. But for now, as long as science keeps on doing groundbreaking discoveries as well as explaining things, I will not change the point of view stated here.

Looks like a fun game to play, I'm definitely downloading this
