    Time. What is it?

    Not really, I just used movement as a simple way of expressing the translocation of energy within the fabric of spacetime. Movement itself isn't a dimension of reality, just letters on a chalkboard. Except there is no such thing as a void really, not even in a vacuum. I know this isn't directed...

    Time. What is it?

    Lots of things aren't tangible. Quite, hence the name. Precisely, and equally; no time... no height... no width... no length.

    Time. What is it?

    I think Theif and tumbleweed are both correct, just arguing past each other. Time is, like Theif says, the term we give to the calculable changes that occur as energy/matter alter their positions in space, so in that sense it's an abstract mathematical construct. However, like tumbleweed...

    The un-BigBang

    I'm sure I read an article that suggested that, since the big bang was a spontaneous event of "creation", that there is a chance that the universe could end in an equally spontanous evaporation event, everything just goes "poof". But I can't find anything with my internet searches, so perhaps I...

    In contact with some ETs

    We don't really know how big the universe is, as we're stuck in a bubble of spacetime, the boundries of which are created by the distance light has travelled since the Big Bang. What lies beyond the boundaries of the visible universe is anybody's guess. Personally, I see no reason why it would...

    Anti Israel Lies

    Not so much a lie as a partial truth. Israel was created by the UN, from land mandated by my country after world WW2. Guilt is a stretch, but it would be naive to say the Holocaust didn't speed things up, after all, the plans for the creation of Israel had existed since the 20's. Again I think...

    Is socialism defunct?

    Thing is, the massive debt you're talking about (and I assume you have Greece in mind) was caused by the recent banking crisis, which has it's route in capitalism in its most desperately greedy form. Nothing to do with socialism.

    Should Men be Able to Chose Abortion?

    I'm sure there's some truth in that, but I don't think it's as pronounced as you're making out. I knew one girl at school who didn't even know she was pregnant until she went into labour (she was quite heavy to start with, in case you were wondering how on Earth she couldn't notice). So I think...

    Women in Gnostic texts

    It's metaphor. Female = the mundane world, male = the spiritual. By telling people to become male, or avoid femaleness, they're saying in a sort of coded way to avoid the temptations of the flesh, of the physical and to embrace the spiritual.

    I'll be in the chat room for 40 minutes (after that Glee is on) if anybody is interested.

    Question for Mr. Cheese or Another Gnostic?

    It's possible, but I don't think many gnostics believe that.

    Thanks for all the fish

    After 1,000 posts I've come to realise that I enjoyed the forums more when I just read them. By participating I tend to read and learn less, as I'm more concerned with the responses to my own posts. So, I'm going to wave goodbye, although I might hang around the chat room on and off as I found...

    Question for Mr. Cheese or Another Gnostic?

    I called myself Gnostic once, and this is pretty much what I believed. That the divine spark would be reunited with God, like a drop of water re-entering the ocean. But I didn't think of that as an afterlife. "I" wouldn't exist anymore, just my "soul" fusing with the rest of God.

    David Icke

    He's the best stand-up comedian I've ever seen.

    Do you Believe there was a literal Zep-Tepi?

    There is no peace in nature. The harmony you see is the result of competition, creatures have evolved new abilities and their prey/predators have evolved in response. The world of living things is in a constant battle to survive, it's just that the competition is so finely balenced that it...

    British terrorism works

    I think the difference should be obvious here. Nobody is supporting these bullies actions, nobody is coming to their defense, we all realise it is wrong. The same can't be said for the death threats made against Comedy Central et al.
