>Very few people ever believe there was a nothing

You obviously haven't spent much time around.....I guess anyone?

>the good faith attempts to communicate it to you in your language always fall on eagerly closed minded ears.

To me specifically? How would you have any idea how receptive I am to "beginning of time" explanations? Pointing out an irrational concept does not put me on any particular side.

> you believe it is infinitely more complex than what it caused by merit of being able to hold the details of our universe in its mind and actively create design from them all at once.

Again, how do you have any idea what I believe? I never made any statements insinuating my personal beliefs.

Using social media, even video, to maintain relationships is like playing piano with mittens on. You can sorta make it work, but in person is so much richer. Like anything else, humans are capable of getting by with less if they have to.

When we're colonizing in other galaxies, you're gonna look back on this and feel like a pickle.

That's true, but at the same time, it can be daunting to carry around a large wad of cash! It's always good to have a balance between convenience and cleanness.

I have both a blind friend and a deaf aunt. You have to get creative sometimes to make those relationships work for everyone, but anyone who thinks their experience isn't diminished is fooling themselves. A person who is both blind and deaf is going to have very limited opportunities to make connections with people. It would be worse if we could only see each other online.

So if we count to 1, we're really counting 0? That's not how numbers or math works.

Stop making sense !

The same logic says that it’s not impossible that all tax returns this year will be 100% legit.

Well, yeah, it’s possible… As is the 27 pitch complete game. That’s not the same as achievable, or even reasonable.

Telling me to do perform a specific act isn't an explanation of your theory.

So i'm still waiting for an explanation.

Ok.

Do people actually go to the church to get food and then listen to preaching as some form of tax ?

While arrays start at zero and I dare anybody to challenge that, if I told you to count to one and you said, "one" do you think that means that you counted zero numbers since you ended at your first number?

I hear you. I feel old.

We USED to. But a few millenia ago all our competitors ... met a series of unfortunate accidents. Wink, wink.

Whoa, that's some deep philosophical stuff there! I think counting from zero is the way to go as it's more accurate and precise. It just feels more natural to me - but hey, that's just my opinion :)
