[quote who="Jafo" reply="478" id="2868838"]"Anything you think, say and do is based on the fact that causation allows for it. The same goes for anything you can hope to understand." "fact" Says who? When did someone's conceptualization of cause and effect become fact? Was there a memo? "There IS a God." "Says who?" "God. He told me." "Must be true then." Must be a FACT. Have a read
[quote who="Jafo" reply="476" id="2868830"]All of your statements are based on your perception of 'scientific' reality/truth. It will be no more valid than previous scientific truths that the world was flat... or that if a train went faster than 30mph all the air would be sucked out of the carriage and the passengers would suffocate. Any [if not all] bases of scientific 'understanding' have been "revised". Your cute and cuddly version of reality will be too.<b
[quote who="Jafo" reply="475" id="2868828"]You have NOT answered me. I just asked the question in #472. It is NOT some other question [none of which you actually responded to other than to reassert some oblique and irrelevant statement]. If you cannot respond appropriately I can only assume you are intentionally obtuse aka trolling. You STATE that "some 'being' had to have created our existence". I will put it in plain English that even you cannot s

First 'scientist' says.... "Look...all the sheep in Scotland are black." Second 'scientist' scoffs.... "No...from pure observation we can deduce that at least ONE of the sheep in Scotland is black" ....said with a wry smile of superiority... T
@ Jafo . The WHY I have already posted, I don't like repeating myself. You didn't agree - that is your freedom. You still haven't given a proper and complete reason as to why/how I am wrong. All you've really said is "Causality *bpltthhh (raspberry)*". Which isn't saying much. WHO I am is of absolutely no consequence, as I am not stating this as an opinion of something that pertains to my person. What I am saying is that based on

New Trait: Political Erectness - The Sovereign must sit up perfectly straight during all diplomatic exchanges...... What? What did you think it would do?
Just got back from holiday (I'm wrecked). OK firstly, @ Jafo , everything you say about causality would lead one to believe that you don't actually know anything about it. Exhibit A: [quote who=" Jafo " reply="456" id="2866588"]Causality or some other BS will tell you there MUST BE squillions of ALFs out there....why are we their definer of God?[/quote] [e digicons]o_O[/e] Really?

[quote who="shadowtongue" reply="427" id="2862681"]did someone really try to use the concept of causality to prove the existence of god?[/quote] Seeing as you've obviously read the post and don't need to ask that question, if you have something in the way of a refutation, please post it. I've put this past many people to make sure that the reasoning is sound, and even the most defiant who refuse to believe it regardless, have not been able to refute a word of it. <
[quote who="xStarfirex" reply="106" id="2862975"]Lol how did this thread end up just like that other one?? hmm I am pretty sure a couple of you skipped straight over the first post. Any how I have a few facts you guys might find interesting. Since Jon has joined the Elemental team the following has occured in the stardock offices Smiles have risen by 373 smiles a day (on average). 67% more back patting has been recorded "High fives" and "thumbs up" are at
I should add that when I run Elemental, it tells me that a major update (1.1) is available, and let's me click 'Get Update'. I wonder exactly where the problem is coming from that isn't allowing the game to know what particular version is installed.
[quote who="LightofAbraxas" reply="210" id="2862179"]I have a ridiculous request for v1.2. Strategy.

I ran the game and closed it. I shift-clicked and verified. I closed Impulse and re-opened it. The download size from 1.1 to 1.11 is 1.41 Gb. [e digicons]:([/e] I'll wait till this is resolved before I update. Please post if you've had success.
Jon Shafer may or may not have been partly or completely responsible for any aspects of Civ 5 that some people did not like. Jon Shafer has been hired by Stardock. Complaining about this won't change it. The type and level of complaints may serve to create tensions in the community, and make these forums a less 'nice' place to hang out. The type and level of complaints may serve to strain relations between the developers and the rest of the community. This coul

Glad I thought of it before anyone else did.
Sweet, another contest. Any word on complexity? I'd like to throw something unusual in there, but at the same time viable.
GalCiv2 with expansions can lick balls of golden icecream and still not be any richer or sweeter to play than it already is. Cheap at twice the price i'maho.
Jon Shafer is the devil. No! He is the devil's more sinister grandmother, who taught the devil everything he knows. For those who might argue otherwise, here is a short list of bad things about Jon Shafer: If it weren't for Jon Shafer, Global Warming would be a lovely term about fairer weather. Chuck Norris hates Jon Shafer. Jon Shafer invented usary. George Lucas was threatened by Jon Shafer on pain of anal rape, to write Gungans and Jar Jar Binks
