If you're interested, he went that way.
If anyone here is cryptic then you must be at the top of the list.
If I were to respond to you in kind then I would say something like, 'The Cheshire cat plays the muse well in wonderland but does not have enough substance to make it past the door and back to reality. Imagined to exist, the little pussy is forever disappearing.'
Equating the knowledge held by a theoretical physicist with the 'knowledge held' by a religious creationist is absurd. Hawking's conclusions are not at all like the Pope's.
Separating your position from the rest of the forum is appropriate but I think that you have the labels wrong.
While some of your questions and points seem valid to me, there is no conspiracy and you are not a cat.

Ode to a hairball
Perhaps the universe is like a cat that has it's tail stitched to it's nose and that is why there is a slight odour of excrement.
With apologies to the Vogons.
-
The cat's tail is stitched to it's nose
and the wind blows back to from where it blows
the big banging went on before the big birth
and nobody knows what any of it is worth
Creation, the word,
is used by the observer to point out the observed
It is noticed to be there at the stitching of the seams
But it doesn't really mean what you think it means
And the cat hacks hair balls all over the floor
Repulsed at first the crowd cries for more
Immune response to the infection viral
and the wheel of the real turns circles to spirals

Re: Ode to a hairball
Sure did but I didn't actually create it from nothing. I used some letters that were just lying around.

Re: Raisin Muffin
I think that you are demanding too much from the analogies. They are an approximation. I suspect that the contradictions disappear when you replace the analogy with actual knowledge.

Re: Raisin Muffin
One day someone may figure out how to translate your strange yet wonderful language into English. I hope that it will turn out to be an epic poem demonstrating the transcendent power of love, and I fear that it may just be instructions for operating a washing-machine.
That is hilarious. A little harsh but hilarious.
