Society & Culture - 17 October 2006

This topic came up once on a message board I used to frequent. I thought it was interesting, and I thought I'd bring it up here to see what people think.

It about the idea that everything was created for us. Someone said that he felt that it was extremely arrogant to think that everything was created for us, given that the entire universe (as far as we know) stretches out for billions of light years (that was the gist of the topic), rendering us highly insignificant. And for those who may not know, a light year is the distance traveled by light in one year. So, in order to get to a galaxy that is a billion light years away, a beam of light would have to travel for a billion years.

Anyway, do you agree with this premise---that it is arrogant to say that all was created for our benefit? I was raised to believe this, but I have to admit, I can see the point in this. I mean, what would be the point of creating it all for us--especially things that are billions of light years away.

Does anyone think that there is any truth to what the Phelps family and their church has to say. That "God hates fags" and "God hates fag enablers"? She seems to think that "America is doomed".

I'm just curious because this lady really, I mean REALLY drives me nuts. I don't think I've ever wanted to punch someone so bad in my whole life. She is so hateful with the words that she uses.

WE KNOW THAT BLACK HOLES ARE AT THE CENTER OF MOST ALL GALAXY SPIRALS, SO COULD ALL THE MATERIAL THAT'S SUCKED INTO THE BLACK HOLE, RESULT IN A NEW UNIVERSE ON THE OTHER END? COULD THAT BE WHAT OUR BIG BANG WAS? THE START OF A MASSIVE ENERGY INJECTION, IF YOU WILL? YOUR THOUGHTS?
