Imagine we are viewing the universe the wrong way around, instead of infinity in every direction, its like a mirror image and we are the epi-centre. The very core of the universe is in your heart. The matter and conditions of our living are the result of huge swirling celestial bodies orbiting each other in space, they fling out matter and PRESTO here we are.
Now God could be thought of as the highest possible potential of any human being. We are all part of it, and we can choose the role we play – but ultimately we are all playing a game of ‘The Truman Show’ on each other (and even ourselves… thats called a conscience) – we are keeping each other in check and ultimatly moving towards a goal (peace, unity, love etc..yuk lol) BUT we don’t move toward that goal in a smooth manner, its is big arching circles of chaos, we re-shape the world as we inhabit it, but it also reshapes us. The overall process is ‘fair’ in that we ultimatly benefit, but you cant build utopia without cracking a few eggs – and the planet cannot be counted as a seperate entity – mother earth is watching you just as you watch her, and figuring out how we are going to sort out this mess.
Questioning God and our Significance on this planet is only something you do because you have the internet and its fabulous accessory ADHD. Our ancestors and our ancestors ancestors would’ve never questioned spirituality as it was as plain as the noses in their faeces. The world is a magical playground but we’d rather sit in our caves and piss on other peoples dreams.
But it doesn’t approach anything. Time (as far we know) is sequential and non-repeating. Going forward in time and expecting the same events to happen is the same as counting higher and higher and expecting the same numbers to occur. That’s not how numbers, causality or probability works at all.
Also not true. For example, there are an infinite number of integer, yet it is impossible for any two integers to form a ratio that is equal to the square root of two.
You guys need to realize that The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is satire, not actual philosophy.
The universe is cyclic anyway ( i recommend “Aeons Before the Big Bang” by Roger Penrose, brilliant man…no so brilliant presenter) So maybe you’re right in the sense that it happened before.
might also just be a case for Mr. Mulitverse, who knows
seems like a knock off from the whole miracle bit Dr. Manhattan makes in Watchmen
…unless your name is casemods.
I’m confused by this positive message.
This *is* the Internet, isn’t it?
It’s because you’re a pessimist, Kori me old pal…
Here let me dumb it down for you:

If you read this far I win.
What if I just read that last line?
dammit
no, you aren’t. get back to work.
Except that if I am insignificant, then all the people who depend on me are insignificant, as are the things I may create.
Actually, if the universe is infinite, the chances of the exact same process that resulted in your existence happening twice approaches 100%
Wrong. There is, for example, an infinite set of numbers between 0 and 1, but each of them is completely unique.
i think thats why tggeko said “approaches 100%” rather that saying the process will be replicated
But it doesn’t approach anything. Time (as far we know) is sequential and non-repeating. Going forward in time and expecting the same events to happen is the same as counting higher and higher and expecting the same numbers to occur. That’s not how numbers, causality or probability works at all.
In an infinite universe nothing is impossible…just highly improbable.
Also not true. For example, there are an infinite number of integer, yet it is impossible for any two integers to form a ratio that is equal to the square root of two.

Tell that to the First Syrian Bank
Why is everyone down voting you? Everything you are saying makes more sense than what they are saying.
If the universe is infinite, can it expand?

Lovecraft to the rescue:
Complete line should read:
you are enormously significant …. TO YOURSELF
the rest of us don’t give a FUCK.
A gamma ray burst from some dead star could wipe us out at any second and the rest of the universe wouldn’t give two shits.
You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You’re the same decaying organic matter as everything else.
You know, there is so proof that finger prints are unique. Just saying
No I’m not 🙁
Tell that to the people of Tattoine.
We’re dirt, we’re dirt, we come from dirt, we’re going to dirt, we’re dirt.
