This thought entered my head about 5 minutes ago: It's about as likely as the big red thing. Explain. | ||

Bizarre. I just spent the last ten minutes reading Wikipedia's article on Atheism, and I can't remember why! It = the existence of God? big red thing = Santa Claus? The FSM? some other example commonly used by atheists? | ||

It = the existence of God? as a matter of fact, no  big red thing = Santa Claus? nope The FSM? The what? some other example commonly used by atheists? not this, either | ||

The Flying Spaghetti Monster. Is the big red thing likely? unlikely? Is "it" an event which might occur? an entity which might exist? | ||

Is the big red thing the rising sun? Mars? Is it bigger than a grape? A watermelon? A whale? | ||

Is the big red thing likely? unlikely? depends on the context, but usually it is unlikely Is "it" an event which might occur? yes an entity which might exist? ...so no Is the big red thing the rising sun? Mars? Is it bigger than a grape? A watermelon? A whale? none of these... | ||

I rather cleverly didn't notice the questions at the end of the small batch, so here are their real answers: Is it bigger than a grape? A watermelon? A whale? FA | ||

FA because it doesn't exist? exists, but doesn't have a physical size? Is there any causal relationship between It and the Big Red Thing? Is the BRT also an event? | ||

FA because it doesn't exist? exists, but doesn't have a physical size? it does have a physical size, but... Is there any causal relationship between It and the Big Red Thing? nope Is the BRT also an event? no it isn't... | ||

Is "it" a historical event? (Or rather, a mythical one?) Is the BRT a physical entity? If so, is the BRT bigger than a grape? A watermellon? An Apple Computer? A cherry tree? | ||

Clifford the Big Red Dog relevant? | ||

Does the BRT have a fixed size? | ||

Is "it" a historical event? (Or rather, a mythical one?) nope Is the BRT a physical entity? yes If so, is the BRT bigger than a grape? A watermellon? An Apple Computer? A cherry tree? these all still have that annoying FA Clifford the Big Red Dog relevant? not that i'm aware of it Does the BRT have a fixed size? I'm certain it does, but no-one is aware of it | ||

Is that the complete thought and context, with respect to the BRT? Or would it be better stated, "It's about as likely as the BRT _______?" Has anyone seen the BRT? | ||

Does it have to do with a peice of literature by Brian Rowe? | ||

Is that the complete thought and context, with respect to the BRT? no Or would it be better stated, "It's about as likely as the BRT _______?" YES, It would! Has anyone seen the BRT? yes, but... Is the big red thing on earth? is it on mars? jupiter? is it something within the human body? can the big red thing be many different sizes? no to all...think outside the box (not literally) ... is the planet Mars ? anything to do with "Is there life on Mars ?" no to both Does it have to do with a peice of literature by Brian Rowe? it very well may have originated there, but i severly doubt it - no | ||
