We have invented tools to detect things that were not observable before such tools existed.

We have invented tools to detect things that were not observable before such tools existed.
To make tools like that, though, you have to be able to observe some end result; otherwise, there's no way you could make the tool or even want to. So the point still is "Why would we be able to observe everything"?
Isn't there some sort of theory based upon quantum mechanics that says something along the lines of "something fails to exist until it is observed"?
Do you find something funny about the name Bigus Dickus?
Weird by your standards?Quote:

Give this whole bit a good amount of thought. Then think about that shit where your ancestors became Christians because someone forced them to. Read a few books if you don't follow me on this. Maybe you'll see a problem with Christian ideaology here.
Why? Because they didn't interpret the universe the same way you do? By the way, every Christian I know celebrates Easter, and uses graven images of their gods. So, some gods/goddesses are okay, but only the ones white-skinned people use?Quote:

go quoting! Its that bad I can't even quote him properly.
Weird by the standards of pretty much anybody who can't figure out why Catholicism is treated like something other than a branch of Christianty. All that nonsense about "the one true Church".Quote:

I said the only two people to ascend bodily (meaning physically) into heaven were Enoch and Jesus. Jesus literally rose into the heavens. God just took Enoch.
Last time I checked there was no Spanish Inquisistion or Crusades in Africa.Quote:

I'm fully aware of my faith's bloody and ugly history.
Do you even know what the hell you're talking about? I sure don't.Quote:

And what's with this stupid focus on skin-color? You think Jesus is a white-man's god? Pull your head out of your ass.
There is so much irony in that statement.Quote:

So Christians CAN honor European gods, but Native Americans are damned for honoring their own? And just what makes you an authority on what is and isn't "excusable" to God?
