It's the universe 10^-42 seconds after the big bang according to Bill Gates.

Man, I've been handling too many tech support tickets recently. My first thought was "Huh, theres something wrong with that guys internet connection". Then I realized you were talking about the background :p

I don't know about that specific background, but you can get a lot of cool desktops that look similar at

Hi kkitt,

That background image is one of those that come with XP. In the german XP edition it's called "Zeitmaschine" (Time machine).

I didn't want to start a thread about desktop background images, but never mind.

You may find much better ones at => Category Customization -> Wallpaper.

Especially if you have multiple display:

10^-42 seconds?

Then I guess they think that light was around then.

Could it have been?

Well, light was the first thing (right after god), look into the bible ;-).

Click to expand...

Alright. I did.
Genesis 1.1+2. Didn't see that "light" is mentioned here. First mention was in verse three, after the creation of heaven and earth...

Well, bill gates is ripping off someone else's idea as usual. Everyone knows that this is really from Star Wars when they go into warp speed.

<Then I guess they think that light was around then.

But was time? Perhaps not.... after all, the Bible also says that God has no beginning and no end. So, perhaps there wasn't really a beginning, despite the first words of Genesis.

But I ramble...

Strickly from a logical perspective, God not having a beginning nor an ending doesn't mean that the universe is without a beginning, nor without an end.

Well, that depends on how you define god and how you define the universe, doesn't it? If god has an identity independent from the universe, that could certainly be so. I say that god is all that is, and the universe is all that is. Therefore, god is the universe.

I can see that I introduced that particular semantic as an assumption in my statement without explaining it, though.

If one doesn't believe in god, then does that mean the universe does not exist?

If that is the case, then maybe I'm not sitting here typing this... or maybe this proves that god doesn't really exist, as I am definitely sitting here typing this... [ponder]

Or it suggests that God and the universe are indeed separate entities.

Which makes it easy to acknowledge the existence of one without any regard for the other, or vice versa, or any combination thereof.

Didn't Douglas Adams wrote, that good himself once proofed, he (or she?) didn't exist and therefore vaporized in a cloud of (un)logic?

Maybe I did cite that wrong again, like the genesis.

Genesis 4,15 (minutes, seconds) - "Jesus He Knows Me".

Bye, Olaf.

How can you define something that doesn't exist, other than saying "it is something non-existant"?

I suppose you could clarify it further by saying "it is something non-existant that many choose to believe in despite there being no actual proof that it exists" (thus presumably why they call it "having faith").
