Ye but you forgot that god works in mysterious ways and that our limited complexity and intelligence is no match to his.

As someone once said: "If you can't explain something to a six-year-old, you really don't understand it yourself". Our limited intelligence should be not hindrance whatsoever to god making himself understood. He can do anything after all

First there was the dream, now there is reality. Here in the untainted cradle of the heavens will be created a new super race, a race of perfect physical specimens. You have been selected as its progenitors. Like gods, your offspring will return to Earth and shape it in their image. You have all served in public capacties in my terrestrial empire. Your seed, like yourselves, will pay deference to the ultimate dynasty which I alone have created. From their first day on Earth they will be able to look up and know that there is law and order in the heavens.

Someone's playing out a Bond-villain fantasy by the look of it!

I believe it was Mr Feynman. Some scientist (most likely physicist) anyways.

Wow. I feel somewhat responsible for the whole pi discussion. Did not expect that to happen.

+1, it's not that we are having an honest investigation of the subject, it's that people want something to be true rather than it actually being the case.

I think this fits the theme of the thread perfectly....

Feel free not to answer if you dont want to but, have you ever encountered anyone like that in your experiences? It's just that I have trouble believing that tehy can be real.

Not exactly like this...no. Similar stuff though. I vividly remember for example a "demon" exorcism - a poor girl was held down and shouted at. It is obvious now that she was not demon possessed at all she may have perhaps been mentally ill I'm not sure I was only a child. Just even remembering this make me very angry, if you wish to talk more you like you can PM me please rather than in public.
