    Cosmology

    Here is my cosmology and philosophy web page I have been building recently which I would like to share My Cosmology

    What is yours? You do not necessarily have to agree with mine just feel free to express any opinion you like on subjects to do with cosmology.

    Cheers Paul

    I think cosmology is a great field to study. Personally, I find make-up more facinating than hair design, but they're both pretty cool. And hey, my fashion work would be impossible without the talented disciples of those arts...

    Seriously, your site is pretty interesting...

    I read Cosmo! I wouldn't say I study it, but some articles do get my undivided attention.

    Ah, when I think Cosmo, it's from Fairly Odd Parents, my favorite cartoon...

    I was tempted to make fun. And then I noticed you had a few posts and a solid photo-related signature. So I will resist the urge and treat you with the respect you deserve.

    I believe in Gaia, which is a sort of ancient Greek-based cosmology. My version combines the ancient, earth-as-god concept, with modern scientific theories, and a healthy dose of Jung. Basically, it's the universe is God. Can't really argue with that, can you? On the other hand, it's not God in the image of Man. And Man is not the most important creature in the universe. I hope to enjoy my brief flash and leave something for people to remember. Even though I also assume that man's stay will be just a slightly longer blip of light in the universe.

    Feel the flow.

    L'chaim!

    Ah, but you ask the wrong person!

    If the universe is that which we perceive and observe, what if god is the unseen? The imperceptible?

    Defining Our Terms

    I guess we need to define our terms, because we're not talking about the same things. I think of the "universe" as all things and therefore inseparable from any and all so-called "god" concepts. Therefore it also includes the unseen and imperceptable, as it also includes incomprehensible and unintuitive laws of physics.

    Feel the flow - being in tune with the laws of the universe. You break them, you die.

    I didn't even read the signature or look at the post count. I guess that would have been my reply, regardless of who posted it. And I didn't mean it disrespectfully, I guess I didn't use enough smiley faces or something.

    Nothing wrong with having fun. I wasn't trying to say anything about your reply. Sorry if it came off that way.
