He once said of non-believers: “The fanatical atheists are like slaves who are still feeling the weight of their chains which they have thrown off after hard struggle. They are creatures who – in their grudge against traditional religion as the ‘opium of the masses’ – cannot hear the music of the spheres.” “I’m not an atheist,” added Einstein. “The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn’t know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see the universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws but only dimly understand these laws.” Illustrious NASA scientist (and agnostic) Dr. Robert Jastrow (1925-2008) put it this way: “For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountain of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.” A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty - it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute the truly religious attitude; in this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it. I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings. -Albert Einstein http://www.spaceandmotion.com/albert-einstein-god-religion-theology.htm The bold (Spinoza's God) reminds me of this scripture as Paul notes as one of the ways God reveals Himself - in his creation which happens to be the subject of this thread to come back full circle: From Romans chapter 1: 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,[g]in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Perhaps related as well, I think some people want a restraining order on God and all things religious. http://www.timesofisrael.com/man-seeks-restraining-order-against-god/

Because who needs a seven-footer who averages 9 points, 11 rebounds and nearly 4 blocks per game? Every team in america Then why aren't teams lining up to get him? Because other teams actually already have players taller than 6-8 on their roster? So then its not every team in America. Well, I wasn't the one that claimed that so.... Nobody said you did...so...

It's still every team in America. It's just that some have them already. Just be 7' 1", nothing else matters. Hilarious.

Shocker.

Pretty flimsy mental gymnastics you have going on here. Extraordinary claims call for extraordinary evidence. Where everything comes from certainly falls into this category but so does a revealed God.

Assuming that Mormonism or Scientology is true....then what? Awfully big assumptions in any of these cases.Sounds like you are atheist or agnostic. Read article i linked in post #217. I think if one allows it really makes an atheist, agnostic, or "scientist" have to rethink things. It actually makes more sense that there is an all poweful being, God.

Just because science does not have all of the answers yet, it doesn't mean making things up in order to pacify the unknown is the proper way to do things. I have always said that I don't have enough proof to ultimately say that there is not a grand designer of things...but to believe any of the ridiculous religions that man has made is foolish in my opinion.

Depth but not starter? He was a 4 star commit and white will be gone when he is eligible so I'd assume he would be a starter. 4 star commit who played... less than decent at Miami. Did we really need another guard? Much like how White played less than decent at Kansas before transferring.

Palmer commits to Nebraska.

I think many here would argue that a new shipment of athletic tape for the football team is more important than anything for the basketball team.

He better get playing time from day one. We only have like 6 players left on the team. Plus being a foot taller than everyone else doesn't hurt either. Bet you have some good fishing stories!!!!

You get it.

Sez the liar who said he put me on ignore Yeah, ignore is for weak cowards who don't have the balls for metal.

Nice try. All self defense, and psyche preservation. They are the perps. BTW, can someone splain to me the "lawn" reference? lawn1 lôn/ noun noun: lawn; plural noun: lawns an area of short, mown grass in a yard, garden, or park. synonyms: grass, yard, front yard, backyard, dooryard "mowing the lawn" Origin mid 16th century: alteration of dialect laund ‘glade, pasture,’ from Old French launde ‘wooded district, heath,’ of Celtic origin. The current sense dates from the mid 18th century. Oh, so it doesn't mean anything, thanks About as much as your incoherent rant about your perception of music. Haha, good one, you "gotcha" me, eh? Metal is basically semi-skilled noise production, I don't consider it as music. Howsa 'bout we test your "Metal", your commitment to the with a hypothetical. Let's say, for the sake of argument, that there is a Gawd and there is an afterlife. And let's also say, Mr. Moesker Metalhead Truther, that when it comes time for you to throw off this mortal coil you are faced with a choice: do you want Heaven or Hell? Heaven is run by this guy named Jesus and his Dad and Hell is managed by a guy named Lucifer. In Heaven, your comrades will include the likes of former stellar figures like Plato, Aristotle, Michaelangelo, Monet, Galileo, Shakespeare, Thoreau, Emerson, Twain, Steinbeck,etc, with the music of Chopin, Bach, Schumann, Mozart and the like and even the newer hipster sounds of the likes of Glenn Frye, Donald Fagan, Chick Corea, Charlie Byrd, Marvin Gaye, EW&F, David Gilmore, Roger Waters, etc. And don't forget the voluptuous babes. Only problem in Heaven: absolutely no Metal allowed! Not to worry, though, buddy o' pal, since in Hell, along with the Eternal Fire and gnashing of teeths and general lack of clothing and edible food, your comrades will exist exclusively of every baby butchering Metal rocker of every Metalhead band that ever existed, and blaring, scratching, thrashing, writhing Metal is the only noise allowed in Hell. So, which door do you choose when your Maker comes calling? Will it be the Metal free zone called Heaven, or the Metal saturated underworld called Hell? Take all the time you need. What an hysterical rant. Metalhead truther? What does that even mean in your crazy little world? You sound like someone who has gone off his meds and the paranoia is creeping in. Even worse you design a absurd hypothetical that really doesn't have any rationality to it. Donald Fagan? LMFAO!!!! Figured, backed you in a corner. Also figured you wouldn't recognize real musical genius, ok, on to iggy..... Backed me into a corner? With your delusional heaven question? This is turning from hilarious to sad now as you actually seem to be buying your own crapola. We should call you evangelist corn from here on out. LOL...Steely Dan is dreadfully awful.

Not really on topic but...

Dedicated to all the 'real music' lovers out there.

You sound like one of those Christian fundies in the other threads who wide brush everyone who isn't in their group. Naw, I'm just a real musician who appreciates real music and hates Metal. LOL, real music huh? God you sound old.

Unless you have actually butchered a baby, please don't be so critical. And as somewhat of a metalhead, I ask the others like me...who has actually heard of 'Butchered babies'? Its like using Charles Starkweather as an example of Nebraskans.
