OMG, this is priceless :stongue:
USB - Satan's Data Connection
Evangelical Christians in Brazil have banned the use of USB connections after claiming the technology is the mark of Satan worshippers

Wow, that is like claiming we have credit cards underneath our skin and just scan our arm at the check out lane (note the Devil gives us the money to buy the things we need) |

In a rough read it seems you are sort of almost saying, don't try to make advancements in Science and don't try to ponder the Universe and all of it's many Theory's that are in the work, just give it time and some of these Theory's will become fact but we need more space travel which is going to take place beyond our years.
::Correct me if I am wrong here::
Edit: I personaly think we should spend timeon wondering how we got here, and actually I think that question is already answered. I think the problem is what are we supposed to do while we are here. |
Definitely one way to take what i said: And I definitely could be wrong, which is why I said it is my opinion :)
I personally think that searching for things we can know is more important than searching for things we can never Know (know being beyond doubt). I also believe that there isn't much we can Know, but leave that out here to save epic philosophical confusion/debate bizness. :p
Personally, on the religious, metaphysical scientific side, I don't think Knowing what happened would change my life at all. If god exists, if he/she/it doesn't, if the big bang happened, and if it didn't, I would still live my life the same way. I think there are significantly more important things to think about, and to put effort into studying than the completely unknowable and completely hypothetical possibilities of our origins in the unimaginably distant past.
scientifically, medicines, human body etc will always need more attention for example, and its something that we can discover, and is PRACTICALLY useful.
philosophically I think the question of what we're doing here, and what we should be doing now are more important, and again are Practical things which could help us far more than completely baseless suggestions about what might have happened etc...
I think practicality should be central to philosophy, religion (bible was almost entirely a pragmatic guide to how not to die for a bunch of desert-dwellers originally), and science.. These days science has degraded itself so much that one of its key elements is posing hypothoses about irrelivant and completely unscientific, metaphysical claims... Like really, who the cares?
anyway obviously some people do, or it wouldn't be discussed, BUT i think the people seeking scientific answers to historically religious questions (Why are we here) is, in general pretty dumb, and defies the very use science offers us. |

Point Understood. Like I said also, it's not how we got here it's more of what are we going to do while we are here on Earth. |
