The Gospel of K0rs0 Part 2

Well its been a long time coming, but the universe wasn’t made in 6 da…. Shut up.

Last time he created the universe, this time God turns his attention to basic physics, because everything was created by god (cos I’ve just said it was) so he had to do the hard shit too. This bible is totally infallible because I’ve just typed into it that it is.

Damn I’m bored, thought the spirit of God.

These bright shiny things, I think I’ll call em stars, they look pretty but they just sort of float around. What I need is a sucky force that sort of keeps things sort of loosely stuck together but also apart if you catch my drift. I’ll relate it to the size of the object so the bigger something is the stronger the sucky force; unless its really big and collapses into something really small and that has even more suck than seems reasonable it’ll suck so much that nothing can escape. And lo the spirit of God proclaimed ‘Let there be a sort of sucky force related to how big something is, unless its really small in which case it may have possibly even more suckyness unless it doesn’t’. And suddenly Gravity was invented, but it didn’t really work very well.

Afterwards God thought to himself I reckon Size is the wrong thing to use for this, because I am god and therefore male (because all gods are male and white with long white beards) I have a size pre-occupation. But, something can be really big, or small and still have the same sort of heaviness. I need a word for this, something that sounds suitably religiony…. MASS! God proclaimed “The other shit I said about Size forget about it, instead make it so that its related to mass!”. Damn, I’ve got to sort out some kind of infallibility…..

I would never have thought that everything depends on everything else. Pfft, before too long you’d think this place evolved, erm I mean… Shut up.  Now I need something for suckyness to happen in, it’s like there’s this force but it can’t really work because there’s like no space for it to work in. God proclaimed thus “Let there be a passage of something that will make the sucky force work, which is also proportionally relative to the MASS of everything else”. Suddenly the universe arranged itself into galaxies because god just created time for gravity to happen in.

But I’ve got to come up with something that will alleviate the boredom factor a bit, there’s a pile of dust over there, and some gas here, I’m sure I can have a rummage around for some other stuff too…

Stay tuned for part 3 where god realises he cant have gravity and a world that’s flat.

A parade of dumbasses. (Golden Compass)

Stupid 

You know, sometimes the stupidity of some people really surprises me, and believe me I work in IT we deal with a lot of stupid. Once more I was happily reading the news, when an overall theme became apparent. The lines of reality and fiction have become blurred! They must have done because some people seriously can’t tell the difference! That’s right just like the bible, Golden Compass is first and foremost a work of fiction.Golden Compass is the first of a series of novels written by Pillip Pullman.

Hates God (apparently)

Mr. Pullman may not exactly be an atheist (unlike me) and far be it for me to point out differences, but much like reality and fiction, hate and a lack of belief are incontrovertibly different. Hate denotes belief and atheists do not believe.

It’s rather difficult to hate something that quite simply doesn’t exist.  Therefore Mr. Pullman is something else.

Fiction

But I digress as it’s very hard to have a debate with religious people; a  group of people who accepted a book (most of which was written up to 100 years after the alleged events) as a concrete fact. I guess religious types understand the power of a fiction having followed one for many, many years, and there-in lies the problem.

When presented with facts and scientific data it takes quite a nerve to on the one hand sit in front of and use a computer (delivered via the scientific and technological revolution) ; whilst on the other hand using it to decry scientific discovery as something that merely tests faith.

You will fictionalise fact, and instead treat a fiction as fact. No wonder religion has a tough time determining what is real and what isn’t.  But as always I’m a solutions man I’ll give you all my top 10 reality and unreality list.

Real	Unreal
Iraq war	The evidence that lead to the Iraq war
No God	The Bible
Grand Theft Auto	Grand Theft Auto 1, 2, 3, and coming soon 4!
WMD’s	Iraq’s WMD’s
Quantum Theory	String Theory
Evolution	(th)Intelligent Design
Earth Is Round	The Catholic Church’s conviction that it wasn’t.
Global Warming	Everything is A O.k.
Fact	Fiction
Science	Religion

Climate Change – A matter of perspective.

As the world leaders attempt to wrangle out some cncensus agreement in Bali during the UN session, it struck me how wrongly most people perceive the climate issue.

A question of perception. 

Most people seem to have a miss-understanding that we are killing the planet. The actual truth of the matter is that we are in fact killing ourselves. Man will be his own destoyer in the bitter end. 

 The real problem is that we are changing the bio-chemical make-up of hte atmosphere and rising levels of pollution are changing the chemistry further. But we arent killing the planet, Earth will continue to exist long after humanity sees its last setting sun. Will the next inhabitants of this world treat it with respect or rape it as we have done.

Life on earth has evolved to exist in a neat symbiotic relationship with the environment around us. Change that environment dramatically and the parameters will shift and, not in our favour. I hope that a concensus agreement is met.

 So I offer this thought; Should the leaders of our time fail us, what will you do?

What do I do to try and alleviate the issues. 

What do I do? I dont own a car or even drive, I use public transport when necessary for the most part I cycle. I work from home some days and use energy saving bulbs. I dont own a TV and I switch off my electrical goods at night except for my energy efficient firdge. I only run an air conditioner for short periods and even then not at low temperatures. I very rarely travel anywhere that requires a plane.

Bearing that in mind, how many of you gave a colleague a lift into work this morning? Solving the climate issue starts with small changes that everyone can make.
