@#16 tideliar: Star Talk is on the network formerly known as Psychic Radio. I’m not sure how Neil deGrasse Tyson wound up there, but I’m sure there’s an intersting story behind it.

I checked my color palette, and that unicorn is actually purple. To qualify as pink, the hue needs to be between magenta and red.

OMG – I just clicked the first link for Phil and Tyson interview and there’s some HILARIOUS hippy dippy nonsense playing about astrally projecting to yourself in past lives “because there is no such thing as time” and helping the old “yous” find peace and solace.

Wow.

As our atheist Aunt, Kate used to say ” I don’t say there IS no God. I just say I don’t BELIVE there is a God.”

I tend to paraphrase the Delai Lama, who said “Buddhism only says, if there is a God, we’re it.”

Which would also explain why no E.T.s have visited us,,,they don’t want to piss off the Old One.

@12. Gary Ansorge : Gee, why does atheist also spell A Theist ?

But you only get that if you stuff up your spacing and capitalisation.
Which would make an ‘A Theist’ a mistaken atheist who can’t type properly I guess.

Not that I can talk on that score.

Actually, aren’t Theists also often described as Deists instead or is that a separate thing again? ‘Religious’ is usually a better term to use I suspect, maybe?

BTW. I’m agnostic (A Gnostic? ) myself. I have religious friends and atheist friends, read widely about and have seen good arguments for both sides and believed vehemently in both Atheist and Deistic sides in my life. Now I guess I’ve mellowed and come to accept that religion is an uncertain highly personal and contentious area where we just don’t have all the answers. I’m not a believer in God much and think there probably isn’t one although I hope that there is and I don’t rule out that the possibility could exist. I don’t have any trouble with people having and expressing their own faiths provided they don’t impose them by force or inappropriately push them on others. I think its the extremes – both religion and atheism~wise – that cause the problems. A middle road of sorts? Balance?

@ Keith Bowden

The unicorn on the left is invisible, the one on the right is just showing it’s true colours.

Gee, why does atheist also spell A Theist ???

Just one of those language peculiarities, I guess.

Isn’t the universe a wonderful place to live? Especially if you’re really quick at ducking.

It is going to be a fun time. On TA radio, our live Q & A should be a very lively chat about popular science and bad astronomy. Not to mention ways we are all going to die

@ ^ Keith Bowden : But then how can it be pink – simultaneously?!?

Ah, but that is one of the divine mysteries! Blessed be her hooves!

PS. Um .. note for those who don’t already know – I reside in an Australian timezone. Now execeedingly early in the morning. Like 3 am ~ish.

What am I doing still up? Why finishing this beer of course!

Much easier to believe in Russell’s teapot in independent solar orbit!

Or the Flying Spaghetti Monsteria Delecia which at this hour and in this state of inebriation I’ve probably mispelt.

Shouldn’t the pink unicorn be invisible?
