Not so (I guess once more I fail at this). It's more that I acknowledge that it is entirely possible there is an omnipotent creator that could have made the universe look as it does. What I think is crucial is that I don't believe this is the case and I certainly don't see any evidence of one.

It's more that I believe that we cannot test if there is a god/creator but I believe there isn't. I certainly don't believe in any god described by any of the major religions.

Another way to look at it is I believe it is possible that sitting on my shoulder is an invisible, undetectable elephant. I don't believe there **is** an invisible, undetectable elephant I just realise that it is possible, if a bit silly.

2010-10-20T02:44:52.435-07:00

I think you're saying you're just unhappy with the concept of a deity or all powerful being. You've essentially just described a belief in a god albeit one that doesn't sit happily in any major religion or foundation of mythology.

You are suggesting that the initial building blocks of existence were set in motion by an inteligent being, or at least an entity with some purpose. This gives you more in common with your theist friends than you might imagine and makes the differences in some of your beliefs largely semantic. :-)

I really like some of these ideas, hope they manage to incorporate some of them, or perhaps you expand them further... Scary had some cool ideas too, it'd be interesting to see what'd happen if you bounced them off each other :)

Yeah, she is just wrong. :-) You're absolutely right: email is used across the board. I find the notion that Facebook could replace it absurd!

I share this frustration. I research paranormal phenomena and it is annoying just what people will class as odd. It really is.

Nice Ford Prefect reference btw, that bit of the book horrified me slightly because it was as though Ford had met some of the people I work with. Poor guy.

Hi David,

The version with the correct arithmetic would be very nice. I would also like to see some of the evidence for the numbers used to convert the Thom into the circumference of the Sun, Moon and Earth.

Many Thanks

Hi Linden,

Additionally, I can send you the article with the correct arithmetic, to replace the mysteriously erroneous version you used.

Hi Linden,

This equation of creation is going out to people with very different educational levels. There is a need to show calculations in this circumstance. I don't know where you got your arithmetic figures. People have been maliciously mixing numbers on this subject. The 10 significant figures was to show the complete 0.0123456789 (nine sig fig) and then the rest had to match. The equation seems to be significant but beyond that there is interpretation and a lot of nonsense talked. Thanks for your analysis. I'd be interested in discussing it with you. I'm just trying to understand what might be there.

best regards,

David Cumming

I liked your FB posts, a bit of fury every now and again is good for the soul.

Anyway, commenting to tell you that I have the CDs for the first two seasons of Old Harry's Game. Not all the eps from each season are on the discs, I think just six from each. I *think* I have them in London - if so you're welcome to borrow them.

Listen to Plane Crazy as well, if it's still on iPlayer. It's a totally different premise but the style reminds me of OHG.

@ John

In all honesty I'm not sure what to do about that other than check for typos in names etc.

It maybe google reveals something (if you find a cure please post here in case someone else has the same problems)

I'm not very good with dpkg myself this guide was the sum of knowledge I got from trawling google for a while.

Sorry

2009-03-10T12:23:42.576-07:00

Thanks for your help... I think I am almost there.
i got to step 7 but on step 7 I get :

user@seacaptin:~/vpnc-0.5.1r275$ sudo dpkg -i vpnc
dpkg-deb: `vpnc' is not a debian format archive
dpkg: error processing vpnc (--install):
subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
vpnc
user@seacaptin:~/vpnc-0.5.1r275$

I am sure this means I screwed something up earlier in the process, but I don't really know my way around dpkg very well... Any chance you could help?

Thanks for the typo checking.
