Starcrazzy - Yes HaltTester on a Turing machine is analogus to a truth machine in Godel's argument.
Lester - science answers how thing soperate, not why they are here, faith intuits or guesses or simply hopes for the why and physicology also studies why some people need an external source of hope to help validate their existence. No absolutes there.
iceman - the question can only be asked to see what new information surfaces. When its simply saying I saw something interesting and staying calm at worst a bit of name calling happens (thought I saw the audience here as being experienced enough to not fall into that simple stumbling pit), at best you get a very intriguing dialogue occuring and clever people actually examining not only what they believe, but more importantly why. You don't ask, you won't learn!
Sometimes you get an unexpected post of incredible elegance or insight, so nothing venture, nothing gained. This post good or bad will fade away eventually if no further value is added.
