Re: Whether heaven exists or not.
Remeber there was this slight kerfuffle over a philosophy exam
question that asked whether Hell was exothermic or endothermic?
I came to the following conclusion, upon the premise that hell did
not exist as an entity in any real sense. However, if the word "hell"
frightens the dumps out of anybody, then it affects their metabolism.
It brings them out in a cold sweat (which means blood temperature
rises, or am I starting to get it wrong already?) and therefore has
properties linked to heat transference even though it does not exist.
So next time you guys start to brainstorm about whether anything
exists, try to define what you mean by "exist"! It's not as simple as
we think.

You say there is no space, and no time. Then you go on to say there's only space-time. Could you elucidate please? Secondly, i wasn't aware that Entropy could...
