There are a variety of them. Could be the ontological argument: God is the greatest thing of which we can conceive. It is greater to exist in reality than to exist only in the understanding. God therefore exists.

Tooth Fairy. Easter Bunny. Different Unions.
I don't think so. The tooth fairy is not real, while God is.Quote:

One things for sure, we live in interesting times and it'll only get more interesting.
It's also absolute rubbish.Quote:

These days it appears people can spout about whatever they want. Take Scientology for example. Some imbeciles always buy the bullshit.
"It is because I say it is so"
Right.........................
All this proves is that particle physicists know where to score really good weed.
Obviously they don"t know.Quote:

My original phrase search bought up Lincoln as the attribute. This one cites both:

This experiment is great, it's a shame that it keeps on breaking down.
If they find the higgs then it'll take our understanding to a whole new level. If they don't find it it'll tell us that we don't have a fucking clue.
They could even use it to research warp drive technology and stuff lke that. A lot of the stuff on star trek isn't just the imagination of the writers but actual scientific theories thought to be possible or even likely, we just don't know how to do it.....yet.
this thread is to deep for me
However the $3 billion could have been better spent--i.e. distributing it amongst all the expats in Thailand --think of the boost to the thai economy--the new houses and gold for the bar girls
As far as I know they are trying to prove the existence of matter which is believed to exist in reality but that only currently exists in theoretical terms. Next on the list are Saudi and Yemeni brain cells.
