New Trader for clever guys you simply don't get a simple point I'm making.
Weight does not exist. It is merely an attribute of an entity. A piece of rock doesn't say hey I'm 1 kg or I am 1 anything. It is merely only a piece of rock. The rest of science is mans creation in understanding the piece of rock. Rock doesn't need mass to exist but science needs rock to have mass size and substance so it can define the rock density and label it.
By the same logical reasoning man needs to know and try and decipher who what the creator is. For this reason it has been labelled God. Now if you don't believe in the explanation of the creator labelled God, there is nothing to stop you rebranding the creator = God = Evolution of man = creation / creator. Let people follow choose the facts and arguements presented. This is what has been done with all the different religions. Even the Aztecs with their worship of the Sun God and human sacrifice are searching for some devine definition and guidance.
So you find the human system of labelling kg and callibrating weight very useful. Good. I am so glad.
You find the human labelling of the creator God not so good. I admire the attempt but I too am confused by all the different religions like mobile phone tariffs. An absolute nightmare to comprehend.
Kg and lbs or mph and km they are all the same. Human creations for stuff that don't exist. Man is the creator.
I do not have a problem with the labelling of the creator. If people believe in (a) God and that s/he is the creator, fine, I don't have a problem with it. My mum is a devout Christian and she would die if she read what I was writing. But my mum is absolute in her belief. There isn’t a doubt in her mind that there is a heaven and hell and she doesn’t believe in evolution and all this precious science nonsense. She isn’t sitting on the fence about the issue nor does she doubt her belief with every new breakthrough in science.
Then you have the likes of Richard Dawkins who are the other end of the spectrum. Basically, if there isn’t enough science now to convince you that there are no supreme beings then there never will be. Take people like Giordano Bruno who was burned at the stake for his scientific ideas some 400 years ago. There were no computers, mobile phones or the internet and yet there was enough logic in his reasoning that he was prepared to die for it. What about Nicolaus Copernicus? Again, over 400 years ago there was enough science for him to question the religious notion that Earth is the centre of the universe. I suppose we will have to wait for more science to uncover all the places God might be hiding before everyone is convinced. But, as I said, if there isn’t enough science now, there never will be. And that's that.
