Well, I've said (and say) all of the things the drawing on the left says many times and I know I can be a bit of a clown as well tongue emoticon And the Universe thing;yeah, I've notice Universe has become a synonym for God, which I'm fine with, but I wish they'd at recognize it. I guess they want to avoid the old-man-in-the-sky thing or trying to be different. Then again, I see belief in Randomness to be equally strange ("The Universe is Random') because it's not; there are processes of things that work amazingly well; not randomly. And some people get all "The Universe is Math" and are positively Pythagorian in their devotion to numbers. I would see that a lot on the Science channel, but I see a lot of religious components to Theoretical Physics as its presented on TV. I suppose we're due for a 21st century religion and I like Michio Kaku. But I'm skeptical of most ideologies in any case - even excessive skepticism, so I let myself believe at least a FEW things to be possibly true; basic stuff like: I'm really here in front of my computer. Even if it's a simulation, doesn't matter. Seems real enough smile emoticon
