Well folks. It happened. Stephen Colbert finally took the plunge. Last night he announced that he is running for President of the United States of America both as a Democrat and a Republican in his home state of South Carolina.

Although, because you can’t run for more than one party, he was forced to be a part of only the democratic party. He will still need signatures from South Carolina residents to become a valid member but as of now, he will be in the campaign. This will include him being in the debates and having fundraisers. Now this is gonna be interesting.

For input I would like everyones help for topics. Basicly I made this site to test and enhance my knowledge of PHP and later on branch off it and make something better. But now that the site is up. I want it to be a fun place to chat about random topics between friends or random people, so maybe comment in here to tell me a good converstaion starter. I’ll make a post about it if I can think of a discussion about it. This can be fun, so play along.

As of now, the site’s appeal is done coding. After only 8348384 hours of coding and photoshoping the layout, I finally completed it as of 5 a.m. this morning. Appeal wize the only thing I have planned for change immediately is the logo for CoryLuLu.com I don’t like it, and do plan on making a new one. Other than that, I’m pretty well off.

 Content will still be put in based on the posts I add to the site. Eventually this site will be a guild to my life, and also a good place for religious, politics, and computers. If you desire to be a thread poster, let me know and I’ll see how it works out.

 Please give me some input on what you think? This site is coded directly by me using PHP, but also with the help of WordPress to add in the blogs. I did not do the blogs myself, but the layout was completely hand coded by me.

Theory Of Atheism

I’ve talked to many people about this subject a lot. I am a heavy atheist, nothing to this day has made me even question if there was a god or not, and if something significant that cannot be explained by logic, chance, set up events, or questionable flaws happened, I would convert on the spot. Although after hearing many explanations on how other religions believed the earth was created and such and such and now I’m taking the time to a summarized but full explanation of how I believe everything came to be.

First off, I want to take a quick stab in Christianity, Christianity in my opinion is the least logical, most contradiction, most out of line religion there is. They have no voice of reason, and they implement there views on everyone and demand respect for them. Here are my inputs on why I firmly do not believe in the bible.

The seven day creation is not literal, there are illogical and unscientific errors that would not have been apparent to the authors but which are highlighted on this page and by science. The shape of the Earth is not flat. The Sun does not revolve around the Earth. The creation of light and the sun happened independent of each other, and there were ‘days’ before the sun was created for the Earth to rotate around. The order in which animals, plants and other elements of life appear in Genesis contradict the order that appears in the fossil record and the order of creation of the stars, the sun, etc, also contradict what we know scientifically. The logic is flawed behind the ‘day of rest’; an all-powerful God does not need rest. In short, the separation of creation into a seven day period is a useless and outdated creation story riddled with errors.

Genesis is written by fallible Human beings, not God, and is proven to be a false record of creation. It also shows many symptoms of being a piecemeal, fragmented myth that has been edited and rewritten over time so that it hardly even makes internal sense. It contains no moral teachings and nothing educational. It is an irredeemable anachronism that we ever teach our children its pointless myths and retain it as part of Christianity. It should be purged.

Due to the non viable offspring that result from incest, the Adam and Eve story cannot be the literal whole truth. When a Christian next time relies on the urban myth of “Christian Family Values” then wander how they would explain to someone the big question of “What happened after the Flood?” The only moral escape route is to admit that the Adam and Eve story is a metaphor. The only biologically correct explanation known is that we evolved slowly from lower animals so that incest was never a problem.

The Prophecy of the virgin birth appears in Matthew 1:22-23. Matthew wrote this seventy years after Jesus Christ was born (35-40 years after he died). Up until that point no other text mentions Jesus’ virgin birth. He quotes Isaiah 7:14 which was written 700 years before Jesus was born - thus claiming it was a sign, a prediction of the Messiah’s virgin birth.

Another flaw with the virgin birth of Jesus Christ was the simple logic of the penalties for premarital sex 2000 years ago. If a woman was found committing a sin of that extent, she would be killed. It is only rational to believe that Mary was simply found pregnant and denied telling who the father was, and instead call it a miracle, to avoid a death penalty.

The Bible, once again, contains three contradictory stories detailing how Jesus rose from the dead. It is more likely that his body was stolen by his disciples. He specifically told them at the last supper to eat his flesh and drink his blood and Jewish theology contains Zoroastrian elements, where the consuming of the blood of the Messiah, or a great bull killed by the Messiah, will earn you eternal life.

These are simply some of MANY reasons I believe that Christianity is not real, and is my least respected faith.

Now to more go along with the theory of an atheist. I will start off with explaining the in dept fundamentals of the idea and build on them as I go. Note that some parts may be left out due to the fact that it’s hard to over every end of the theory, so if there is any questionable idea, please ask and I will make sure to answer it the best I can.

To began, I must explain a few ideas in detail. Many people have heard of the big bang and, vaguely, understand how it works. Well I’ll go into full detail with that. The Big Bang theory is the idea that the entire universe is that the entire universe was able to condense into a super dense material, in which, would have absolutely no space in between it and contain every bit of matter there is. Since any form of mass has gravity which makes it attract all other forms of matter in the universe. Only problem is, when every bit of the universe is hyper condensed into a tiny ball with no more matter to pull or expend the mass amount of energy created by this tiny ball of matters gravitational pull, the structure would explode on itself and force the matter hurling through the universe again. Now in this event, there are 3 stages of events that happen within trillions of years afterward. The first stage is the acceleration stage, where all the matter is still accelerating rapidly throughout the universe. The second stage is where the accelerating matter stops accelerating and begins to slow down, due to the effect of gravity on all the separating matter, slowly pulling all the matter back in. The third stage is where the gravity of the matter has finally caught up to the force applied by the initial blast of the explosion and begins to pull the matter back into the center of the universe (there is no actual center, simply using this terminology to make it easier to understand). Once it reaches the center again, it will reform into a ball and explode again. This process will constantly repeat. [Tiny ball > Explodes > Universe Expands > Gravity Begins to Pull All the Matter Back In > Tiny Ball > Repeat]

Before I move on I need to explain a few more things, starting with the theory behind E=MC^2. For those that do not know, this is the proven theory that Energy = Mass x (The Speed of Light multiplied by itself). Using this thorium, we are able to determine, since we have proven the universe is expanding (by measuring the distance between stars we have located and see how rapidly the spread apart), we are also able to determine the speed of light is moving at the same rate that the universe is expanding, which is interesting because we have found that the speed of light has slowed down slightly in the past ten years, which proves that we are currently in Stage 2 of the Big Bang Theory (if it does exist).

Also I need to explain the theory of time. Time is not an actual object or thing, it is simply a perception. Time does not literally exist. We only perceive it as being what it is because that’s the only way it makes sense in most minds. But in actuality there is no possible way to have a timeline that forever goes in two different directions, for if it was structured like that there would have to be a beginning and an end, which can’t be possible due to the fact that you need something to start something on a timeline, so simply it would raise the question “who created god?”. So the only logical way to view a timeline is to view it as a circle, in which would have no beginning and no end, just a continuous circle, over and over repeating itself over trillions of years.

Now back to the rest of the theory. Continuing from the Big Bang Theory of [Tiny ball > Explodes > Universe Expands > Gravity Begins to Pull All the Matter Back In > Tiny Ball > Repeat],

after it repeats for however many times, eventually, since there are only so many ways to arrange all the matter in the universe, it is bound to repeat. Although since we are looking at a circular timeline, after going thought this event however many times (lets say a gazillion) and it does structure the same exact way as it did before, its not as if that this is all going to happen a gazillion years from now again. It simply means that a gazillion years from now is now, since we are on a circular timeline. If it was a clock when the big hand is on the 12 and you circle through the entire clock and it gets back to 12, the 12 is not a 24 now that it cycled, it is still 12.

Now if the structure is replicated the exact same way as it did a gazillion years before hand, that would mean that, since we are in an isolated environment with no outside forces to change anything, the explosion would occur the same way as it did the time before, which would mean that every bit of matter would be hurled the same exact way it did before. Each solar system will develop the same way it did (or didn’t) before. Life would develop (if I did) the same exact way as it did before. And every event in history will happen the exact same way. [A lot of people get thrown off on that and question, "What about free will?". But my answer will remain the same, free will is based off what you have learned in the past and what is occurring now, analyzing what would happen if you one thing opposed to another and using ideas that you have learned from the past to determine a decision. If nothing is in this isolated environment (the universe) to change the outcome, your decision would still be the same] Well if that all happed the exact same way, that would be it would contract the same way as last time, and condense to the same shape structure as the time before, and create a new universe as it did before in the exact same manner.

This theory destroys the need for a start of the universe or an end, it simply means that we are in a cycle and have always been in this cycle; the cycle had no start and will continue to repeat. This is all based on our perception of time although, in actuality, it is moving in one simple flow of motion.

Once I get to this point in the conversation, normally I start getting responses normally saying “Well, how is it that it was so extremely complex of a system? Something had to have made it this complex to work this way.” My response to that is always the same. The reason that we think this is an extremely unlikely occurrence based on the fact that we are so complex, is because the fact that we are able to think of how complex it was. If this universe turned out to be extremely simple and no real intellect was created on the universe, this would not be questioned, but because we are able to question it, it seems improbable. So basically we are living in an extremely rare circumstance and because we are able to think about the complexity of the system, it makes us complex, which makes it seem too rare to ever happen on accident, but really it did.

If you want me to continue on any particular subject in the explanation, just leave a comment with a questions and I’ll do the best I can to explain it. I congratulate anyone that was able to read through this and understand the whole thing first time around. Some ideas and concepts in this theory takes time to understand, for certain ideas, it takes days, weeks or even years to fully understand. But everything I said is completely based on logical fact and should cover every end of our existence if you fully understand. Although, this does not rule out the idea that our universe could be a structure or building block to something much greater and complex than what we can see. Almost as if we are simply an electron to something else. Which in case could also be a huge cycle of material, but I won’t get into that one now.

Thanks for reading.
