It's ok Hana these sorts of "jokes" usually go over my head too.
1Tim1:15-17
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.Amen.

Re: queston for Atheist?
I asked an atheist friend this question. His answer went something like this: ''01=1, or, nothing to the power of 1 equals potential.'' What do I know? Am I a mathematician? This atheist went to the Sorbonne.1over137 wrote:Why is there something rather then nothing?

Re: queston for Atheist?
Yes. And of course the answer to 00 is most certainly NOT = 1, it is undefined (indeterminate). It is the same as division by zero (basic arithmetic).1over137 wrote:He probably said 00 = 1. http://www.math.hmc.edu/funfacts/ffiles/10005.3-5.shtmlFurstentum Liechtenstein wrote:I asked an atheist friend this question.

But here's a curve ball, not all division by zero is indeterminate, in some very specific cases a value can be assumed (though not actually computed).Byblos wrote:Yes.

Re: queston for Atheist?
10=1, nothing controversial about that. I think he was trying to be cute with 00=1 implying from nothing something comes. Except he's an idiot (mathematical or otherwise). Anything0=1 but there's an exception, that being 00=indeterminate, however, with its own exceptions. E.g. graphing the function x/y where x=y. On the diagonal line x=y the answer of the function x/y is always = 1 (1/1, 2/2, 3/3, etc). But what happens at the point of origin where both x and y = 0 (i.e. 0/0)? The answer is not indeterminate; in that particular case where x=y we can actually assume the answer is also = 1 in keeping with all other values along the same line.Furstentum Liechtenstein wrote:<1over137 wrote:He probably said 00 = 1. http://www.math.hmc.edu/funfacts/ffiles/10005.3-5.shtml

Post edit: And if, by potential, he was talking about the limit of x as it approaches zero, the answer is still the same as above.

Re: queston for Atheist?
An idiot?...no, he's an atheist. Ps14:1 doesn't apply because he has a few doctorates from the Sorbonne and is an editor for a sci-fi magazine. He doesn't earn any money from his job but lives thanks to his wife who goes to work and earns real money. It takes brains to get a woman to support you for 25+ years while you sit at home and do diddly-squat all day long. I'm not that smart. Are you?Byblos wrote:Except he's an idiot (mathematical or otherwise).
Who's the idiot now???

I am finding myself like FL's posts. I apologise for that and normal service will be achieved as soon as humanly possible.

Re: queston for Atheist?
you had a great one. Just looking for different kinds of questions.
What caused the universe to exist?
What explains the fine tuning of the universe?
Why is the universe rational?
How did DNA and amino acids arise?
Where did the genetic code come from?
How do irreducibly complex enzyme chains evolve?
How do we account for the origin of 116 distinct language families?
Why did cities suddenly appear all over the world between 3,000 and 1,000BC?
How is independent thought possible in a world ruled by chance and necessity?
How do we account for self-awareness?
How is free will possible in a material universe?
How do we account for conscience?
On what basis can we make moral judgements?
Why does suffering matter?
Why do human beings matter?
Why care about justice?
How do we account for the almost universal belief in the supernatural?
How do we know the supernatural does not exist?
How can we know if there is conscious existence after death?
What accounts for the empty tomb, resurrection appearances and growth of the church?
this is some stuff I found and thought were pretty good.
