What is ridiculous is your assumption and conclusion that you are God. And then contradict yourself by saying you are just like everyone else. I thought we are figments of your strange imagination.
Yes I have lost consciousness. Do you know what losing conscious means? Show me how the universe stops when you are without conscious, and I will believe you. But I doubt that you can. You're taking a popular and ancient opinion and exaggerating it—the plight of a follower. And you call me a close-minded sheep?
I didn't know the double-slit experiment pertained to humans. Are you quanta? are you an electron? I doubt it.
Since this is your universe, why did you create me? Since this is your universe please I implore you, destroy me and end this charade, or at least make me think like you. Until then—and I won't be holding my breath—I must assume that you're wrong.

And please, assume that I am wrong. Continue to live in your bubble, never questioning anything. As it turns out, if I stop acknowledging you, you will no longer exist to me.edit on 14-6-2012 by DevilJonah because: (no reason given)

Never claimed to have more evidence than you. Simply stating I don't simply accept something I don't have information about, I instead question and make my own decision.
To answer this simply, yes. Yes I am. As it turns out the human body is made up of aproximately 7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms...

.....This is silly the earth univers et al existed billions of years before we so called sentient beings where about to observe it...I will give you one example although there are many more...Plants were about ferns ect collonised land long before animal life.Plants use energy from the sun for food / energy ..However they only use a very small portion of sunlight to derive sustanance the rest of the spectrom offers no use to them..To ensure they extract the photons the requie for food /energy .They utilist quantom physics a la simmilar to the double split experiment .Plant instintively knew that photons can travell through many differnt paths at the same time .So they utilised this phenomina to ensure that they would always be able to receive the spectrum of light / energy they needed to grow...No humans existed to observe this but still it happened .This also applyed to seaweeeds an other marine plants millions an millions of years before complex animals evolved .Even placton use quantom physics to ensure the collect only the strata of light thy required to feed,

I was watching an episode of Through the Wormhole I had recorded last night, and Ol' Morgan Freeman touched on the subject of Biocentrism, which in a nutshell says that the world around us only exists when we measure it.
For those not familiar with Biocentrism, it is a theory from 2007 by a scientist named Robert Lanza, building off of quantum physics. It pretty much says that the Universe exists based on the consciousness of its inhabitants. Instead of the Universe creating existence, it states the opposite, that we created the Universe.
If you look at the Double-Split Experiment, More Information Here it hypothesizes that photons alter their state when being viewed or measured.
So to kind of keep things short and simple, or as short and simple as a theory of creation can be, you only exist because I see you. If a tree falls in a forest when no one is around, not only is a noise not made...the tree doesn't even exist.
Anyone have anything to add? What do you think about the theory of Biocentrism? Does it make sense? Also, since I am afterall the God of You, I will continue to allow you to exist if you sacrifice stars and flags in my honor!

It doesn't really make sense in some ways though. Think about this: You're parked at a red light, some a**hole walks past your car and flings a lit cigarette into your back seat through the open window, but you don't notice it. Now if you don't notice it, then it shouldn't start a fire right? But it would start a fire regardless of whether you noticed this happen or not. Or is my logic all messed up here? From what I understand, what they are trying to say is that things only exist when you pay attention to them? What about all these women that have been date-raped because some guy dropped a vial of soporific in their drink? They didn't notice it, so why did the drug still take effect?
Edit: I apologize if my examples seem somewhat bleak or disturbing lol, but they were the first things that came to mind, because many human beings tend to use the unawareness of others to their advantage when committing nefarious deeds.edit on 14-6-2012 by Xaphan because: (no reason given)
