I wonder what it was like before (if you believe in it) the Big Bang? What was that tiny and extremely densely packed pinhead of matter sitting around doing?
Just think, when our sun dies/Earth dies, all of the history of humankind will be destroyed... The creatures that begin to inhabit this planet or another will never know of the amazing advances in science, the technology, or a Hendrix guitar solo...
It seems so weird.
I know this is kind of random, but why do I have a new batch of phone books on my front porch every two weeks? Is it really neccessary? I think it's such a waste, IMO. By now everyone should be able to get online and go to yellowpages.com. It's just one of those things that seems useless to me...just a thought:)
^^ ur referring to the trees not off topic..
So whats up with animals? can they understand us? are they really color blind? Did dinosaur's enjoy sex? Did you know the only mammals that have sex for pleasure are dolphins and humans. was their anything before the cave man times? And how in hell did we become so smart? building, and making things electric? i bet the world has revolved itself a many times now, creating and creating new kinds of creatures. maybe the world is our God. who knows.
And about space... we can't be the only ones out here. Space is so big... Its obviously never ending as the movies put it. I mean why would we have those worm holes? How do we know about the worm holes? if we have never actually traveled space .
why do peaches have fuzz? and why does natural selection exist?
Is the glass half empty or half full?
If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around does it really make a noise?
What is the meaning of life?
What is the nature of Knowledge?
Is there a God?
Can our minds exist seperately from our bodies?
What is the essence of being human?
Are physical objects really coloured?
Is a person just a complicated physical object?
Why is it OK to kill and eat animals, when it is not OK (supposedly) to do the same to humans?
Can we really know anything about the world?
Is there such a thing that you call your â??selfâ?? If so, describe it
What is meant by truth
What is meant by Good

I'm REALLY digging this thread.
Whenever I'm walking on a sidewalk in the mid morning/early afternoon, if I see an earthworm that is almost dried up but barely alive, I always take it to a place in the dirt/grass where it is cool and there is some moisture. I've done that every day- about 2-3 worms per day since I was 6.
It feels kind of cool that the smallest action I take towards these seemingly insignificant creatures makes a BIG difference in their lives, if they are in fact, self aware. Even if it does make my fingers smell kind of gross.
Food for thought--- if you don't support logging, try using rocks for toilet paper!
I believe we'll be out in space looking for and colonizing other planets by the time the sun and earth die. We're like cockroaches. We're here in the universe to stay. But I do hope future generations don't forget Hendrix.Quote:
