Nutty Hypotheses-Part 1

Hmm...seems everyone is going on and on about new year posts and resolutions....so, to break this trend...this is the last I will be mentioning it....

Now, back to the hypothesis. I got this inspiration back when I was a little kid who saw some cartoon whare the protagonist had an anthill or something as some kind of science project. The ants went about their jobs without any heed to the protagonist and the story went on.

Anyway, th point is...what if the earth was just a science project of some bratty old alien kiddo? And boy, is he pissed because we the humans are destroying our earth each passing day. What if the kid(not specifying a he/she) throws a tantrum and decides to stamp all over us?

Hmm...no time to follow up on that one, but I think it is good enough to send to the Kansas School Board! Now if there is anyone in the whole wide world who is utterly jobless(well, u r reading this blog and i am posting on it, so we both fall in that category), please leave some comment or something about real life phenomena that can be explained by this theory.

Till then...Adios...

P.S. If I could convince His Short-Sightedness George Bush about this theory, the U.S. would surely sign the Kyoto protocol...

Satan...who art thou??????

I have always felt that the concept of Satan is flawed. This so called "being" is supposed to punish all sinners by condemning them to damnation (in a moderately warm place which I believe is called Hell), an eternal one too. But it is also said that Satan is kinda like an anti-God. So, logically the guy should try to do everything in such a way that opposes God. So, shouldn't he reward those who follow him? I mean loyalty should be rewarded everywhere, right? So it implies that Satan must work for God in order the notions we have to be right. But I am sure that this will be vehemently denied by all.

Or I am right in thinking that all religions evolved to keep the barbaric tendencies of humans in check, while actively making sure that no one questions these beliefs? I say this because most people(as far as I know) lead moderately decent lives in fear of some divine retribution.

Whenever I try to ask devout believers in any religion about these ideas, the retort is always somehing like the (insert name of holy book) is right because it says so in the (insert the same holy book).

To me, that answer is not in any way convincing. But maybe, such matters may transcend all logic and require blind belief. I don't claim to be infallible or anything. These arguments might even be a result of my ignorance as well. In which case I would like "better informed" people to correct me.

This post didn't go quite the way that I intended. Got sidetracked in between. Ahh well, what the heck. I can't type anywhere as fast as my thoughts. It is ironic that while I was typing this (I normally type my posts separately and then upload them whenever I get time) I was listening to some devotional song on TV. Also, in spite of all my questions and ideas, whenever there is a crisis or the opposite, I call upon God for help, thanks or whatever the situation requires. Ahh, well...maybe I should proud of the fact that I am continuing the great tradition of humanity in being an exemplary hypocrite.

Sigh, thats lyfe.

Also...see this...

\Ahh...people quote Wikipedia...I quote Uncylopedia..........

Free will...

I was thinking about the various attributes one ascribe to God. God has to be omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient. Leave the first two attributes, take omniscience, i.e. God should be all knowing. So basically God knows what I will do tomorrow or on any give day. So, can I justify my actions on the premise that God knew this would happen and I was simply a puppet in God's hands???

Wonder how other people feel about it....

Hmm...I wonder, can criminal give a "this was my fate, I couldn't stop it" kinda plea...
