I like Anihilation better than Civil War, although the chances they are taking on Civil War are huge enough that the repercussions will be felt for a while. There's no easy way to back out of what happened at the end of Civil War 2, that's for damn sure.

Gimme Thanos over Darkseid anytime. Definite case of the imitation being better than the original.
I'm really liking this Annihilation stuff, but I'm only buying the Surfer stuff and keeping updated with the rest through good ol' Wikipedia. It's an excellent storyline. Surfer's my favorite, and I love pretty much everyone whose appearing in this series, folks like Annihilus, Thanos, Quasar, and Death.
They fucked Spidey. This is the first comic stuff I've read in over ten years, so it doesn't bother me so much, but I can see why people are pissed. You just can't have that duality that makes the Spidey character with him going public. I'm agreeing with the sentiment that he'll just wind up underground with a new secret identity once this shit passes. From the cover of Civil War #5, it looks like he'll be regretting his decision.
I'm just ready for the Hulk to get back on earth and beat everybody's ass.

That was pretty cool when I first saw it 15 years ago. Is that thing part of your plan to prove the existence of the soul, or are you just trying to have some fun now?

I saw some dude with a beard ... and two little horns on top of his head! I swear this is the same guy that was gonna buy my soul the other night. Luke C. Pher was his name, I think ... though a really hot middle eastern chick with him kept calling him Baal. Cheap bastard won't pay me till he has proof the damn thing exists, though. |

~Is our universe defined only by what mankind can percieve and deduce of it? Our understanding of the universe is certainly defined by what mankind can percieve and deduce of it. Whether the universe itself is is beside the point: if it is outside the ability of humankind to percieve or deduce, then it is irrelevant to us. You could just as well try to explain commercial fishing to a tuna ... it is beyond the (apparent) ability of the tuna to understand why Charlie was here a moment ago, and now he's been pulled out of the water and is gone forever. Even there, however, the tuna has the ability to percieve that a foreign being is acting on his fellow fish, and that Charlie is gone and not coming back. Our hypothetical tuna could well learn that when certain conditions are met, it is much more likely that such unwanted incursions to his world are more or less likely to occur. Given sufficient inteligence, the tuna could one day learn what is going on around them not through devine revelation but because they are living in the same world as we, and are governed by the same physical laws/forces. You believe in evolution correct? So if you go backwards in time do you think that life always had consciousness? Or did it evolve over time? For instance maybe the sense of feel was evolved, then later the sence of taste, then smell, then the sence of hearing or sight. Certainly it seems unlikely that all of these senses just evolved all at once over night, right? It could have taken millions of years to go from having three senses to having four then five, no? So who's to say we are not in the middle of evolving a sixth sense? Or a seventh or an eigth? All of whcih will enable us to better percieve the universe we inhabit. So if you open your mind, you will see that there is more about the universe that we do not percieve, and it IS relevent to us. In fact the search to better understand the universe and attempt to percieve the part of the universe that we cannot see now withthe limitations of our five senses, might be the most relevent thing man can do. At least in terms of Evolving. |

And this proves the existence of the soul, how exactly?

And this proves the existence of the soul, how exactly? This doesnt prove the existence of soul Ken. It illustrates however that if you are going to understand the existence of the soul then you are going to have to open your mind. That really is my task here. To get people to open their minds so that they are capable of seeing the existence of the soul. Your assertion that "Whether the universe itself is idefined by what mankind can percieve of it is beside the point: if it is outside the ability of humankind to percieve or deduce, then it is irrelevant to us" expresses a close-mindedness which must be overcome for you to see the existence of the soul. Once I can get you people to open your minds, then you be able to see the existence of the Soul... |

This is all about PEW's child. He's buttering us up with background story so that we're ready for it when he pastes his picture.

Sinc we all agree that the universe is in motion, the next task becomes how do you account for all this motion?
Some 'force' must have either started this whole thing in motion or else some force is keeping it all in motion.
Whatever this force is, it is also responsible for keeping man in motion--keeping our hearts beating, our immune systems working our lungs breathing, etc.
Why do I say that?
Becasue all the matter that makes up each and every one of us came from the big bang. The particles that make up each of us are the same particles that make up the rest of the universe--just in different qauntity and combination.
Since the Big Bang was caused by this force that keeps the universe in motion that means this force is not only responsible for the formation of galaxies and the solar systems but it is also responsible for the formation of humans.
This means that everything is connected to everything else. Everything in the universe is connected by that force (that started the universe in motion or that force that keeps it in motion).
And the soul is--that glue that connects us to everything else in the universe. That glue, which if it didnt exist, would mean the universe would not be in motion or would not even exist.
