God is logically impossible.

    Do shadows…. have shadows? It’s something to not think about.

  2. avatar Sub Says:

    Oxygen doesn’t cast a shadow.

    Oh well, I guess that means there are no photons in the universe.. But as long as we have decisive proof there’s no god, it’s clearly worth it. ;) Lights out, everyone!

    Shadows don’t have shadows, therefore shadows don’t exist, therefore nothing has a shadow, therefore nothing exists. QED

    The sad thing is, this actually sounds like the logic of the ontological argument.

    I feel the need to say: “the negated existential quantifier is misplaced.” That is all.

  7. avatar Bartlettman Says:

    Indeed Miko, it should be placed before God. Only if God does not exist where would before him be? Oh wait, I had my Creationist Moron Auto-Confusion Compounder set to full-Hovind.

    For the w.f.f “Alarm” of the Language L1, for all assignments of values to free variables a and some structure A,

    Val(Alarm,A,a) = F

    (/preposterously over-wrought logic in-joke)

    Does the sun have a shadow?
    Does a thought have a shadow?
    Does sound have a shadow?
    What is the shadow of the smell of a rose?
    Does time have a shadow?
    Does the universe have a shadow?

    A hearty haha at the “but Jesus is still a friend of mine” line.

    For those of you who don’t know the video from where this line originated, you can view it on Youtube.

    Wait a minute. Does this mean that as soon as I close the closet door, all the stuff in there stops existing?

    How do I know God doesn’t have a shadow? I don’t even know where to look for one!

    What do you mean you don’t know where to look for one? God is supposedly everywhere so wherever you look there should be a shadow.

    SO true!

    And speaking of, I’m consistently baffled by the number of people who seem to find the ontological argument ‘persuasive’ in any way…..but they’re out there!

    Ooh! Good point. But…how do I know there’s not shadow everywhere?

  15. avatar Autumnal Harvest Says:

    Ooh! Ohh! I see a flaw in the proof. Sorry, there’s insufficient room in the margins of this blog to explain the flaw.

  16. avatar The Ridger Says:

    It’s Destiny who doesn’t cast a shadow!

    And that last line reads “Jesus is a friend of mime” - o noes!

    Air has no shadow. Gravity has no shadow. Data has no shadow.
