The idea of the infinate roulette wheel creating all possible sequences was something I struggled with too, until I read about the coin flip theory (can't remember where I read it.) It basically goes something like this; Image you flipped a coin ten times in a row and wrote down the results...

Touch'e salesman. Although, nobody here has conceded their point past conjecture...one way or the other.

A yes or a no to what? To whether I believe in life after death? I guess it's a yes...ish. The point is, are we here through chance or are we here through God? I believe that chance is the reason that we exist. Of course, the odds against us existing are massive, just like our one hundred card...

That's a wonderful philosophy! I sometimes think that we're here for no other reason but to enjoy ourselves.

As an atheist I often contemplate what total and eternal non-existence means for us all and what the implications are. I will say that I am not too concerned about the prospect of my own death...(ish.) I guess it comes down to natural laws and logic. The odds against both of us being here today...

Oops...that should be one hundred playing cards with odds against of 52 x 52 x 52...all the way up to one hundred, not 52!

How long did I not exist for before I was born? Since time began with the creation of this universe then the answer must be 13 billion years. How long will I not exist for after I am gone? Perhaps forever but perhaps not. Maybe it's a question of chance. Let's pretend I have just dealt one...

Does no God necessarily equal no afterlife? Is a deliberate designer the only being which can offer an afterlife or can the universe offer one too? What will be the difference between a religious afterlife and a natural one?

Can Heaven exist in any Reality? Unless we can describe such a thing as a life without compromise, then we cannot describe Heaven. Is Heaven a set ideal, created by God with set parameters or is Heaven a personal place where I am in total control? If Heaven is set to God's ideal then we...

HA! Guess some words are still tabboo, even for the Internet. Points for guessing what the offending word was! Here's a clue..."last nights episode of A Question Of Sport really STUNC up the airwaves, with the smug presenters spending the entire program chatting shit."

I literally hate this program. I saw Ronnie O'Sullivan on it once and he looked so uncomfortable, like he didn't want to be there. A load of smug ***** chatting shit. (Not including O'Sullivan in that decription by the way. I know that he isn't to everyone's liking but for me he's...

I don't get History or Bio with basic freeview. Is the program set up the same? On Dave I saw this one guy bid for a bin that contained zulu artifacts. There was a few weapons on show with some "mystery prize" hidden under a sheet. Turned out to be a doll made from wicker and, get this...a real...

I watched this for the first time a few days ago. I just flicked through the channels and saw a program description about the day to day runnings of a U.S repo business. Thought , "why the f*** not? Could be pretty awesome" and started watching. The very first scene showed the duo attempt to...

I recorded this last night and watched it today. I had predicted that the world would be feeling put off by the trigger happy nature of the police response and, sure enough, the hate calls came in right on queue. Pearls of wizdom such as, *in my best, "praise the law'd" middle U.S accent...*...

Didn't copy this and I am not knowledgable in any important sense, only in the sense that I obsess about the subject and read as much as I can about it. I became interested in it when I first descovered the weird phenomina known as time dialation. In a nutshell it is the idea that I can jump...

What's vcash? I can see it there, lurking like some pretend, evil bank balance of the Internet. What's it for?

I believe that life does exist elsewhere but I do not believe that said life is more advanced than we are. There are around half a billion stars in our galaxy and around a billion galaxies in our observable universe. Cosmologists have stated that there are more stars in our universe than there...

I am reminded of some comments Bill Bailey made about this subject on one of his DVDs. It wasn't really about national service per se, rather the institutionalized persona of T.V programs such as the news at ten. It's the theme tune, he says. Too scary...if it had lyrics it would go something...

Can't say I agree with most of this. I won't respond to every point and I am mindful of your admition that there are arguments for and against. Still... Child benefit is exactly what it says. I am sure that you would like to see a system in place where the children get the food, clothing and...
