No. It doesn't mean anything in regards to god(s), paranormal, supernatural, etc, existing.

Nor does it mean anything in regards to Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, leprechans, elves, dwarves or orcs.

So you've taken to calling it your "universe" now? :p

I think quite a good beginning for increasing knowledge by spiritual authority. :D

I'm thinking of taking on a monkish title like "Feeder of the turtles"

It has a catchy tune and I think I could dance to it.

What I need now is a charity that I can donate 10% of donations to. Preferably one sponsored by a famous TV personality.

20 of us are now Turtle Feeders, compared to 25 who are not as wise and knowing about the universe. Watch the numbers rise now that we have a religion based on knowing the turtles that support the universe.

I'm not defining anything here.

Again, you confuse a question with a claim.

I was merely continuing the informal second-person use of the "you" instead of the more formal third-person "one", as in "one would be defining these things as ignorance." Your OP made more sense that way; I must learn not to assume that your OP should make sense.

But, if you insist...

The only relevance of the first question to the second would be if one were to define "god(s), paranormal, supernatural, etc" negatively--that is, as things outside of what one *does* know about the universe.

Actually, come to think of it, it works both ways. Unless one honestly claims to know everything about the universe *and* that "god(s), paranormal, supernatural, etc," do exist, then a "no" answer to the first question is every bit as applicable to believers as to skeptics (that is, your--er, one's beliefs about the existence of such things could simply be ignorance of natural explanations). Which makes the first question pretty much irrelevant.
 
Sheesh, I don't even fully understand American Football! I certainly can't claim to know everything. I don't think it is possible for any entity to know everything.

So, what does my answer say about about the supernatural and gods? That I don't believe in either?

Yes or No?

And what does your answer say about god(s), paranormal, supernatural, etc, existing?

Xenu told me the correct answer to that, which was no, I don't know everything about the universe.

Good thing he answered his phone. :monlaugh:

I know everything.. just of course i'm not aware of it :D


You were being sarcastic with this poll, isn't truth?
 
In the early years of the 16th century, to combat the rising tide of religious unorthodoxy, the Pope gave Cardinal Ximinez of Spain leave to move without let or hindrance throughout the land, in a reign of violence, terror and torture that makes a smashing film. This was the Spanish Inquisition...

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Not possible. Because our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our four...no... Amongst our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.

That they like beef jerky, but not straight from the bag. That's just rude. They like to take it and put it on plate, preferably nice china, with a little tarragon flakes for garnish. Just garnish, not to flavor the jerky. Even god(s) etc. can't get the dry flakes to stick to the dry jerky. I heard they tried once by misting a little water on it first and sure enough the tarragon stuck but it made the jerky slimy.


Slimy jerky, yuck.


But a great name for a band...

No doubt, however, my point was, that realitivity restricts us from ever being able to observe the whole of the universe. We are restricted to observations of the "observable universe."

Actually, it is a very small, statistical qualifier.

I strongly disagree. It directly forbids us from knowing an atrociously large number of things about the universe; namely all conjugate quantities. Our daily lives aren't effected by this... but you want to know about knowing everything? That's hugely effected.

I am now the official head of the Church of Slimy Jerky. I guess I'll have to resign as an official minister of the Apathetic Agnostics. Now I need a new motto.

"The only Church that flays your eels."

No, it doesn't sound quite right. In fact, the term "eel jerky" is a bit iffy in itself.
