So how do you prove a world exists then?[/quote]

With 12 pints, 2 hammers, 50mg, and a sparkly colored ball that makes everything sound believable and possible....
but in all seriousness, with omnipotence, and you have to possess it, if anyone else does, then you can still doubt your own existence regardless of their self-secured existence. Plus, you can doubt his existence as well, even though he probably won't be able to doubt his own.

If light is the fastest thing in the world, does that make it a ninja? *pose*

No, it makes it a samuninjabullguncheecar.
Which is like 70000000000x the speed of a ninja.

If Goku and Superman fought over the last slice of pizza and the world was destroyed, is bacon still delicious and the best food ever?

No, for pigs would sadly be destroyed for all eternity, leading to the extinction of all bacon based food products.....except for tactical bacon that would freeze in space and cease to be delicious.

If everyone in the world was sleeping at the same time, would the universe cease to exist?

Good question; allow me to take it too far.

If the universe exists, it only exists for the period of time that it is being observed in, according to quantum mechanics. Any observation made about the state of the universe would collapse the wavefunction of the universe itself. If the universe is in a state of being unobserved by everyone, then it is a superposition of all possible states, existing or not existing. This state of the universe being an uncollapsed wavefunction is only resolved when an observer wakes up and observes the universe, causing the wavefunction to collapse and form a one universe. It's sort of like blowing up the Schrödinger's cat experiment to the size of the universe, with the living cat representing our existing universe, and the dead cat being our universe ceasing to exist. "What's a wavefunction?" I hear you ask. The short answer: it's a probability thing .

So in answer to your to your question: yes and no at the same time, so therefore possibly maybe? Whatever, just make sure that someone is keeping an eye on the universe when you go to sleep, or else who knows what might happen.

You're wrong, part of the Schrödinger's cat experiment is that only outside observers are unaware, inside observers/involved participants (the cat) are the only beings aware of their own state.
In addition, we would still be observing the universe anyway, just not with our eyes. Touch/hearing still mostly work while most humans sleep.
Not to mention every extraterrestrial and their mother would also have to fall asleep to justify such a situation.

1. Why do people constantly bring Science into an argument of Metaphysics (A topic where science no longer applies, and has no actual foundation) in the Religion & Politics board?

2. Where do the scientific Laws come from? Not what they do, but how they came about to be a governing force.

3. Why do Humans consider things cute? Where did that notion come from? And what role does that play in evolution? Or is it a a side effect of consciousness/Sentience?

1) Because science is often seen by most as a thing which can explain most everything, confusing the concept of science with empiricism. And while empiricism is one of the philosophies that has given birth to modern science, it does not encompass all possible experiences and beliefs, and is slightly outdated and out of place in a religious argument....unless you're trying to justify atheism, in which case...yeah 100% correct way to use it in such an argument.

2) Scientific law is anything that happens in this universe, without question, and without exception, that cannot be disputed and is not proven through normal means.
For instance, Newton's law of universal gravitation is indisputable, gravity works, we are attracted to large objects in space, the moon has not floated away, and the Earth isn't flying directly past the sun into the great beyond. A scientific law is proven simply because it is.

Do not confuse law with theory, as a law is simply an observation proved through repeated observation, while a theory is an explanation for a phenomenon that is proven through repeated experimentation and has become widely accepted by the scientific community. Examples would be cell theory, the theory of relativity, and the theory of evolution, they all exemplify something about the universe that we have proven to be true (to the best of our current ability) through experimentation, observation, and repeated modelling/experimentation, BUT they can all be overturned by another new discovery in the universe, such as a living being composed of individual molecules instead of cells.
A law cannot be disproved, as it is just an observation on the world, and you can't really experiment against something like gravity.

3) The ability to perceive something as cute is an instinct that humans have developed to keep from murdering children. It is part of your maternal and paternal instincts and has expanded past just children due to sentience and definitions of the word, combined with association via language.

We're doing that now, there is no way I can live on without doing this...you've likely caused the apocalypse by giving me this idea, and now I'm doing it.

Why can't I stop buying nerf blasters?

Because advertisers are good at their jobs and you're a human who enjoys shooting people without getting arrested for murder/assault/battery.

No offence, but is this thread really the best use of your free time?

I'll admit, no, but this time is so hard to fill that I just kind of feel that this would be the most fun I could have without crashing my computer/obsessively researching a trivial topic/breaking laws.

A cat, standing on its hind legs, just about to get down. The photo is blurry, but easy to see through.

Ooh, I love these

Can I buy you a drink?

How high is up?

Who shat in the hat?

What comes after thrice?

1) That's not a question..
2) Buy me a drink and I'll tell ya.
3) ∞
4) Stephen Colbert, he's decided to declare war on all hats, that's how he told the diplomat.
5) Founce......probably.

What is the third law of thermonuclear physics?
Why does water boil?
Which animal has the most disturbing mouth?
When will Donald Rumsfeld reveal that he is ,in fact, a reptillian?

What is the answer to this question?

 

[TiloXofXTanto]

What is the answer to this question?

"the answer to this question" is a statement that completely contradicts itself, clearly being a statement but claiming to be a question. It is therefore an unanswerable, self contradicting statement. And might be a paradox...

What is the third law of thermonuclear physics?
Why does water boil?
Which animal has the most disturbing mouth?
When will Donald Rumsfeld reveal that he is ,in fact, a reptillian?

1) The third law of thermonuclear physics states that thermonuclear physics is not an actual branch of physics. (the first and second laws are just the word "BOOM" written progressively larger)
2) Water boils because the heat added to any given amount of water, (if continuous and of high enough energy) will eventually cause the molecules to gain enough energy to convert to gas, and this process normally starts at the bottom, causing bubbles to rise to the surface (suddenly being less dense from the volume increase) and escape their liquid bonds.
3) Humans, because with the millions of different combinations of words their mouths can produce, it manages to use nothing but "f", "u", and "k" a majority of the time
4) Yes, in the year 2270, when people begin to get suspicious about his lack of being dead.

Aw hell, I almost hoped you'd come up with a third law . Thermonuclear physics may not exist, but it sounds so damn cool.

Hmm, alright.
I'll invent the three laws of thermonuclear physics.

1) Shit blows up.
2) Should the aforementioned shit not blow up, then it is invariably made of obsidian lead reinforced with lead reinforced steel.
3) Should [hero] hide within a lead reinforced refrigerator made of obsidian lead reinforced steel in order to avoid the first rule, he shall be baked, and then there will be cake.

Good enough?

What will you do when no one is posting to this thread anymore, and what is the inside joke for calling everyone who post here an idiot?

 

[TiloXofXTanto]

What will you do when no one is posting to this thread anymore, and what is the inside joke for calling everyone who post here an idiot?

1) When people stop posting here, I will quietly fade into general obscurity until my brain suddenly yells "QUESTIONS, WE HAS TO ANSWERS THEM NOWS!!!!!" Which is when I will post another thread of similar content.

2) The inside joke is basically just me using the name of a comic I had for a couple of years on a site called smackjeeves where I answered questions using terribly made sprites (due to my lack of ability in all forms of art when I am forced to use my brain to visualize any kind of result) that random people had asked. I got some good ones too, time travel mostly. 'Twas called Random Answers for Random Idiots. And that's why these answers are for questions from idiots.

What's the meaning of life?Is it toast?

I'm sorry, Didn't we already cover this... I don't know...

I guess the meaning of life is to attempt to get this achievement in real life.
