I thought that the 12.y.o.-dude was a bit older and into the joke. But now it actually got even more fun. Although he should shop for either a brain, or some street-smarts.

I am thinking about going to work for the evening shift, the weather is hotter than the place where the red guy lives, y'know the one with the pitch fork.

And now I am thinking about watching some star trek.

I'm wondering how to define causality without time. I'm sure there must be some kind of trick.
Use mirrors?

I think causality is a phenomenon of space-time, and space and time are inseparable, so one cannot of define causality without either.

Ah, it was much better when I told that guy in the chat room I couldn't help him because I didnt have internet access.

I'm thinking that I missed a good chat. I'm so annoyed I missed it. Everything I thought would take a short time yesterday ended up taking forever. :frown:

I'm wondering how I can prove God with personal experience to an atheist who simply won't accept anything but evidence. My only problem is that my understanding of the universe is so incomplete, so I rely on strawmen and wishful thinking.

Fixed.

Science never answers "why?" but only "how?".
Was this another occurrence of me missing the joke ? :frown:

At the moment I'm thinking why I must always be so annoyingly serious.

:smile: You're trying to prove the existence of god, yet you call other people "clever" as sarcasm?!?

Now that I decided I would never take anything seriously, I think you are being ironic :cry:

Is the idea of "proving God" similar to the idea of "explaining a joke" ?
