mormonism is an enigma.
they extol higher education, then turn right around and insult education by their farms archeology site sponsored by byu.
just how this religion ever got by as far as they did is beyond me.
SusanHere: Amazing wrote that pay stubs (or equivalent) were required to get "Temple Recommend". In effect you must prove you tithed 10% before getting this status or whatever it is. Are you saying that is not the case?
Also: SusanHere or Double Edge please explain why the BOM has the transcription mistakes from the KJV in it.
Also: I once heard that one of the BOM chapters was stolen, and Smith was unable to reproduce it, so he instead replaced it with a paraphase type thing. Is this true?

this is so horrible and unimaginably cruel.
i'm usually a very laid-back, easy-going guy, but if i ever saw people doing something this cruel to a helpless little kitten they would get to find out many painful things about the pointy end of a stick!
Jeez just send him to prison and let Bubba "take care" of him..
researchers in new york have created infectious polioviruses from ordinary, inert chemicals they obtained from a scientific mail-order house, marking the first time a functional virus has been made from scratch and raising a host of new scientific and ethical concerns.. "this shows it's now possible to go from data printed on a piece of paper or stored in a computer and, without the organism itself.
reconstruct a life form," said john la montagne, deputy director of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases at the national institutes of health.. .

1. Suppose the universe is running on a massive computer (Matrix style) beyond our ability to comprehend (think of an amoeba compared to the universe).
2. Would we really be able to detect that this is the case? I don't think so.
3. Now suppose instead of a massive computer it is just some immortal entity with lots of time working out all the computations using sticks and twigs and writing in the sand on an very large desert. Our universe would exist only by his computations of its state. For each unit of planck time this person would compute the action of every quark in the universe. Of course it would take eons, but perhaps time has no meaning there.
4. What if for each time unit the entire state of the universe could be recorded as a massively huge integer. (think about the giant computer again, and imagine concatenating all of it's memory bytes into one huge number)
5. Further what if each of those 'state numbers' for every planck time unit of the lifetime of the universe was combined into an even more massive integer.
6. Then could our entire existence be defined the existance of that massive integer? and since all integers presumably exist apart from our universe could it mean all possible universes also exist?
