The ramifications for all of us are life-changing, if this is an authentic letter, from the actual universe. It would prove that the universe is eternal, not God. Please tell me that this is a fake letter. My faith may have been damaged beyond what I can bear.domokunrox wrote:This picture I found on facebook invoked a great deal of laughter.

I got a particularly good laugh when the universe "suggests" that I began cultivating relationships and "improving conditions" for newcomers.
What obligations do I have for that? The mind boggles, friends.
I am not sure if its a letter from the universe. Its actually not scientifically possible to confirm it because it could just be a fluke. I mean, we get messages from the universe all the time, but they make no sense at all and there's no intelligence behind all the randomness. If this message did indeed come from the universe then it surely is a miracle that we got something that we can understand.
But there's another dilemma Rick, if the letter is indeed true, then I am the product of unguided processes, so you can't actually trust the words that I am typing to you right now make any sense at all. My very words as simply chemical reactions in my brain that are doing this at random if it was true. So, since we can't know for sure if this message is from the universe by science, we can only just look at the evidence and figure out what is the most reasonable to believe, or we can do what atheists do and make baseless speculations on what we think science can discover and tell other people science isn't something you have to believe. Science simply is omniscient and we don't need to consider proof from theist savages and their human rights, morality, and free will they supposedly got from their deity.
