'He' is all around

[inline_online (Dan)]

Hi all,

I thought this was pretty amusing. Hopefully it doesn't go against the site TOS (though I suspect it might).

Cheers,
Dan

It's a shame it doesn't work for H too.... but H is around here at least

[Octane (Humayun)]

I'm here.

I've been a member of IIS for 8 years and I consider you all my friends so I would like to ask you to take the time to watch this video.
It's what I believe HE did for me and I trust you won't hold it against me for sharing.

Thanks everyone

Why would it? looks like some simple statements of scientific fact to me.

Thanks RB just watched it. I cant put in words how it made me feel, its pretty emotional.

Is this a remake of the story of an omnipotent being, sacrificing himself to himself, to save mankind from himself because he got pissed off that a talking snake told a rib woman to eat some fruit? In that story the son doesn't even really die but instead comes back 3 days later, more powerful than before (sort of like obi wan kenobi). Does this crap belong on an astronomy forum?

[Rodstar (Rod)]

Thanks for posting the video RB.

I think it is a great metaphor that expresses what billions of people in the world today believe. It also seems to me, in the context of the original post on this thread, to be an entirely reasonable response.

phobos, I certainly would not have thought that your dismissive comment, and the apparent hatred underlying it, had any place on our forum.

Thank you RB... Echo...

Inevitably, astronomy is about origins. Origins is a religious discussion - that is, if you understand the origins argument. The original post clearly makes the point.

[BPO]

He makes your voice high and squeaky.

What exactly is He doing to you?

Sounds pretty dodgy to me.

[inline_online (Dan)]

Agreed Rod. No matter what our beliefs are I was hoping to avoid that sort of talk when I made the initial post. For what it's worth, i have no problem with RB's post.

[rmuhlack (Richard)]

Thanks RB. Wesley was right - Amazing love indeed.

I agree. For me this is what makes astronomy so interesting , humbling and inspiring.

He is important to science. He is flowing through a GC and EA in my lab right now. He is needed for NMR spectrometers. He is not naturally found on the surface of the Earth. He is only obtained from deep petrolium wells. He is a finite resource. Yet He is wasted in party balloons.

BTW I'm reminded of the Van Der Graaf Generator album - H to He Who Am The Only One.

How ironic.
An atheist behaving in a way which is symptomatic of fundamentalism, intolerance to the belief systems of others.
