Bullshit and BullshittersWe've had questions about lies and liars in the past, but this time we're asking about the sort of fantasist who constantly claims they've got a helicopter in the garden or was "second onto the balcony at the Iranian Embassy siege". Tell us about the cobblers you've been told, or the complete lies you've come out with.
Thanks to dozer for the suggestion

they also have a hard time arguing that it isn't... You can only say 'it's possible/conceivable etc'. A creationist can say the same, albeit we consider their ideas unlikely. And of course, we'd still like to know where the computers that created the simulation came from.

This is my point.Although the idea of a 'God' is constantly being nibbled away at by scientific discoveries, it still remains to be ultimately (dis)proved either way by its very nature.
I suspect the computer parts were bought from ebuyer, except for the graphics card, that was from Overclock.co.uk

yes, as someone famous one said, the great philosophical questions remain because they are unanswerable.
