- ncdave101, on 02/15/2008, -2/+63Old/Obligatory FORTRAN reference:
God is REAL, unless declared INTEGER. - antivibe, on 02/15/2008, -3/+55hang on, isnt this just Bahai spam?
- Duncster, on 02/15/2008, -6/+46What if God was one of us?
- WestonP, on 02/15/2008, -14/+50A message to the atheists: Please find something positive to say about your beliefs if you want to be effective at promoting them. Most reasonable people will not seriously listen to people who are preaching hate and intolerance, no matter if it comes from a "religious" extremist or an atheist.
- angusm, on 02/15/2008, -4/+33Depends which computer you ask. I think it was the VMS operating system where you could type 'god' at the prompt and get back the message "god does not exist".
- Daz3, on 02/15/2008, -1/+30You have a serious ego complex.
- boredsam, on 02/15/2008, -27/+55Do yourself a favor and do not click the link, it's worthless.
- TalSiach, on 02/15/2008, -1/+25I would say he will be on invisible :)
- JAG731, on 02/15/2008, -4/+27Don't know about Computers and God, but, one thing's for sure.. Windows ME & Vista = Satan.
- Daz3, on 02/15/2008, -6/+27I dugg you for the Simpsons reference.
I also think people should realize that arguments of that form are invalid, basically, you are asking if God is more powerful than God. Akin to asking if infinity is larger than infinity. - Willy0Panhandle, on 02/15/2008, -8/+29Challenge to Diggers...How many logical fallacies can you find?
- arrrrgh, on 02/15/2008, -13/+34Flawed reasoning persisted throughout that thing. Here's an obvious one: the whole 'God require an intermediary to communicate with us' thing. God can't be a 'bit' in his computer simulation, and can't directly communicate with those 'bits', so he gets an intermediary to do it - but the intermediary is also a 'bit'... which begs the question, if we're a bit, and he can't communicate with us, why can he communicate directly to his intermediary, who is also a bit? Flawed as all get out - reading this is a waste of your time. But if you want to waste your time reading about religion, it'll take you a lot less time than reading the bible...
- Daz3, on 02/15/2008, -3/+24Your trolling isn't even humorous, it is just lame and ambiguous.
- UnarmedHippo, on 02/15/2008, -1/+22Just a slob like one of us?
- inactive, on 02/15/2008, -3/+23I wonder if God is on AIM....
- om3ganet, on 02/15/2008, -0/+19Damn. I tried that on my linux box and it repiled with "Creating god"
- anyone4apint, on 02/15/2008, -2/+20Yet it is perfectly logical to accept that the creator himself could just appear out of nothing...
- BeefBaron, on 02/15/2008, -4/+22For anyone. Just because someone vehemently believes in something doesn't necessarily mean it exists outside their mind.
- grgcnnr, on 02/15/2008, -0/+17Just a stranger on the bus
- jascination, on 02/15/2008, -4/+21I think a lot of you are missing the point here; It's not trying to convince you that God is real, it's simply giving an example of how it's possible to create a universe (as well as the laws which govern it) while still being unable to directly interact with it - which is one of the main concerns of religious philosophy.
Digg me down for saying this, but sometimes the hardcore atheists here sound a lot like religious zealots to me. - fancyj, on 02/15/2008, -0/+16trying to make his way home.
- greenblob, on 02/15/2008, -1/+17You know, if you replace the "ogle" with a "d", you get "God."
- DrMonkeyLove, on 02/15/2008, -2/+17Now I get it! "What do computers tell us about God" is actually like asking "What do man-made things tell us about a man-made thing?" This makes more sense now!
- d0onut, on 02/15/2008, -1/+16He asks random chicks "asl" and then answers for them for fun.
- anyone4apint, on 02/15/2008, -3/+18Over 9000
- inactive, on 02/15/2008, -23/+37God is whatever you want him to be in your mind.
- inactive, on 02/15/2008, -1/+15How do you know he doesn't - did you talk to him personally and ask?
- TheRascalKing, on 02/15/2008, -3/+16*beep beep* thou shalt not steal *boop boop*
Thats what robot god tells me. - OrionBlastar, on 02/15/2008, -0/+13That is what Steve Jobs believes anyway, that and he believes that he is God as well.
- alexforcefive, on 02/15/2008, -0/+13Just one? God can't interface with his creations, so he creates something and then interfaces with it.
Want another? God can't prove his existence except to very small numbers of people, and only if he makes sure the proof is not conclusive.
I could go on but ***** it. The whole thing is ridiculous - rpi22, on 02/15/2008, -9/+21so, god is designed to be deterministic and repeatable?
- CthulhuDawn, on 02/15/2008, -0/+12nobody callin' on the phone
- inactive, on 02/15/2008, -1/+13more like you pumped your fist you wanker.
- WestonP, on 02/15/2008, -18/+30Wow, a positive and insightful message about religion on Digg. I never thought I'd see the day! Thank you for posting this. I've had many similar thoughts myself.
- GrooTheWanderer, on 02/15/2008, -0/+12I would have thought the cybernetic god would have a whole different set of moral judgements. "Thou shalt not divide by zero; Thou shalt not dereference an invalid pointer..."
- truspect0r, on 02/15/2008, -5/+16fail
- bdbr, on 02/15/2008, -3/+14Personally if God is anything like my computers, I would expect the universe to completely implode from time to time and God will have to create a new one. If it doesn't implode, everything will just move slower and slower until the orbits are unbearable.
Of course, if he just spent more money he could get a much hipper and trendier universe. - elvenseven, on 02/15/2008, -2/+13Sorry, Myspace-profile-talk doesn't work here.
- inactive, on 02/15/2008, -1/+12Every frame had petitio principii.
- Evermin7, on 02/15/2008, -2/+13I'll have what he's having.
- EarlOfLade, on 02/15/2008, -3/+13No it wasn't, it was horrible and would get an F.
It was totally crappy presentation without any form of logic or substance. We usually call that wishful thinking! - inactive, on 02/15/2008, -1/+11Yep, god probably is but he will be off line.
- fyngyrz, on 02/15/2008, -5/+15"What Do Computers Tell Us About God?"
The same thing they tell us about Santa Claus and unicorns and fairies.
Nothing.
And for precisely the same reasons. - awwe, on 02/15/2008, -2/+12Hmm... So Tron = Jesus and Master Control Program = Satan?
- EarlOfLade, on 02/15/2008, -5/+14Well, it was a slideshow full of ***** but I guess you like that?
- fancyj, on 02/15/2008, -0/+9except for the pope maybe in rome.
- TremorX, on 02/15/2008, -3/+12Ready.
who is god?
?Syntax Error
Ready. - TenebrousX, on 02/15/2008, -1/+10except the part with all the logical inconsistencies
- moskaudancer, on 02/15/2008, -0/+9He's still not as bad as the "Time Cube" guy.
