@Racecarlock calling the universe fat is like calling a wall an obstacle. It will have no effect, and will in fact prove you to be an immature dumbass, because you probably laugh at any mention of toilets, feces, or mammary glands as well…grow up loser
You could say the same thing about Science. That our motivation in trying to understand the laws of Physics is to harness it and occupy a privileged status within nature, thus making ourselves more 'significant'. This doesn't, however, take away any of the value of Science, discredit or 'disprove' it in any way. The same is true of religion. Even if people associate with it for their own egos it could still be true even if nobody followed it.
What is the deal with this idea that we live in some big brian? Really, I get these posts on my vid all the time. It reminds me of the butt-nuts that see the face of christ in a tree truck, or rocks. Steven Weinberg, Nobel prize-winning physicist, was right: "The world needs to wake up from the long nightmare of religion. Anything we scientists can do to weaken the hold of religion should be done, and may in fact be our greatest contribution to civilisation."
Couldn't agree with you more. Our existence depended on roughly 14 billion years of transition to equilibrium (which is still transitioning as we speak) but some people want to believe otherwise. The problem is not Religion, its human ignorance. We always fear what we can't understand, and as a result, we have created Religion to help us cope with this fear of being insignificant. But luckily, with the LHC near completion, Science will soon be saved.
i think your interpretation of religion is fairly narrow-minded. Religion is not created for the sake of resolving a problem in the false-ego of insignificancy, but to bring to light that all is one, and that all of man shares an inter connected link with everyone and everything around us.
Hayden1516 You've justified my point. "to bring to light that all is one... that all of man shares an inter connected link with everyone..." That cries 'significancy' my friend.
Our collective existence as humans is not 'significant' in any way, but plays its role as a part of the universe. I look at the entire universe as a conscious entity, aware of itself and its surroundings as a universe. Science was created by man to explain what they could not understand in the material realm, religion therefore was created to attempt to explain human spirituality, and is equally important. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Damn universe, you need to lose some weight.
