“People who claim that they’re evil are usually no worse than the rest of us… It’s people who claim that they’re good, or any way better than the rest of us, that you have to be wary of.”
― Gregory Maguire, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
― Edmund Burke
“The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.”
― Albert Einstein
“Man is the cruelest animal.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
“Evil isn’t the real threat to the world. Stupid is just as destructive as Evil, maybe more so, and it’s a hell of a lot more common. What we really need is a crusade against Stupid. That might actually make a difference.”
― Jim Butcher, Publicity and Advertising
“It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

Yes, but many of the stupid dpnt know they are stupid and of those many think themselves doing Gods work or are genius. None of which you can convince otherwise.

Little beknownst to Dick or Jane the condom was made in China ..and it all began with a big bang.
“Gravity Doesn’t Exist” –Is this Fundamental Phenomenon of the Universe an Illusion?
For example, the Big Bang theory is the idea that at a particular moment things suddenly started exploding and growing, and that our universe got bigger, which Verlinde finds illogical to think it came from this one moment.
“It’s illogical to think there was nothing and then it exploded. We use concepts like time and space,” he adds, “but we don’t really understand what this means microscopically. That might change. The Big Bang has to do with our understanding of what time should be, and I think we will have a much better understanding of this in the future. I think we will figure out that what we thought was the Big Bang was actually a different kind of event. Or maybe that we should not think that the universe really began at a particular moment and that there’s another way to describe that.”
Verlinde believes that the information we have today and the equations we now use only describe a very small part of what is actually going on. “If you think that something grows, like our universe, than something else must become smaller,” he observes.”I think there’s something we haven’t found yet and this will help us discover the origins of our universe. In short, the universe originated from something, not from nothing. There was something there and we have to find the equations. It has something to do with dark energy and how that is related to dark matter. If we understand the equations for those components of our universe, I think we’ll also have a better understanding of how the universe began. I think it’s all about the interplay between these different forms of energy and matter.

Good quote flash.
In summary; Something cannot arise from Nothing. Order does not arise from Disorder. Everything we know about the Universe proves that entropy is the normal state of affairs. Those truisms are why I am not an atheist.

@Flash, Stucky
Actually you’re wrong with that. Turns out particle DO appear out of nothing, and then vanish again leaving nothing behind them. It’s called “Quantum Vacuum Fluctuations” and have been observed and measured. In fact, it has been well known and documented longer than anyone reading this has been alive, with lab proofs dating from 1939-1940 or so. It’s called the Casimir Effect
Currently there are a number of theories being proposed by physicists to explain this phenomena. My current favorite is one that seems to be getting a lot of traction at the moment. Classical physics states that between the stars and planets there’s a whole bunch of nothing. Current theories suggest that instead of there being nothing at all, there are currently a very large number of forces that just so happen to equal each other out. (Brane theory if you want to google it)
This universe is not the only point of activity in a whole bunch of nothing, but infact the exact opposite – it’s a place where a number of waves just so happen to equal each other out.
Think of it this way. Get a bit of rope and hold both ends. Now shake one end of the rope so you have a wave pattern, with apparent ‘fixed’ bits and wavy bits. From the point of view of an ant on the rope, if the ant is *exactly* on the ‘fixed’ bit, the rope would appear to be still and motionless – but it’s not. It’s a spot where the forces pushing the rope up *exactly* match the forces pulling down.
Brane theory suggests that these forces don’t cancel each other any more than two teams of men pulling on a rope in a tug of war cancel each other out.
Minute variations of those forces cause those quantum vacuum fluctuations which create and destroy things with no trace. Likewise this universe appeared out of nowhere – and could disappear just as quickly.
