Analysis of Hartshorne's (1962) Proof of the Existence of God
We did! "I am" is proof of God. A better question; what came before God? I have been playing with a simple mathematical equation concerning God. (2=1) or (1+1=1) 1= one thing or true one 2= illusion of 1+1 or one thing + one thing one thing = one thing If, one thing + one...- Selfless

Could Have The Smartest Dinosaurs
I think the biggest obstacle to intelligence is our ability to gather information through our five senses and convey what little information gathered to other members of the species.
