Hello. Have skipped about a thousand posts in various threads, all told.
Whazzup?
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
And they let this man teach? At Oxford?
Well, they don't let him teach math or logic:
Oxford University professor Richard Swinburne, a leading philosopher of religion, has seemingly done the impossible.

There's mathematical proof that Jesus was indeed resurrected by God.

I know, I saw that... it doesn't help. They let this man teach anything? At freaking Oxford?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

At least at my university, logic was also taught in the philosophy department -- I took Logic 101 there, as well as a course on Goedel's Incompleteness.

Maybe he teachs at their extension school.

Point taken. They do at URI, too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Everything on that site is obviously true. You can tell by the giant fonts.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Right. Also, if there's a 50% chance that god exists, then there can't be the same chance that god becomes incarnate. Because if god exists only 50% of the time, and [if god=yes] he has a 50% chance of becoming incarnate, then it's 50% x 50%, or 25%.
I am not Miss Mathy and I can do that part. Why am I not a lecturer at a university??

Wow, ND. That reads like a Dr. Bronner's soap bottle.
