the question is not whether we exist, but whether we would even be able to tell if we did. Or didn't. I liked this question that cy had... I was hoping to find out what everyone thinks about this question....

i was thinking about this very thing earlier... it is one of those things that causes a very large THINK to happen... one of those thinks that can cause 2-hour long conversations which include drawing all over ones driveway w/ sidewalk chalk...
i dont beleive we would know...ever, i mean, right NOW i might not exist, but NOW i may, we may go back and forth ya know... and then we might not exist period, maybe the is nothing nowhere but theres something somewhere...else...y'know that thing called a conscience? maybe we are all computer characters, fictional beings being controlled by some other being somewhere out there... when they get tired of playing the game they kill us. if they unexpectadly quit, not in the proper fashion the character would commit suicide...do you know what i mean...
and THEN maybe we exist but elsewhere maybe there is an entire civizilation around us, and we stay here and the outside PURPOSEFULLY isolates us... the "alieN sightings" we hear about are outsider who accidentally walked into our... reservation like place, and if we get too close to discovoring anything then were killed of in some "natural" way...
gimme a few hours and i'll be back with more theories... im gonna loose sleep over thinking about this now, ya know! *goes off to a corner and starts thinking some more...*

#1. I love this conversation becuase it inspires hour-long conversations in which driveways get written upon. #2. I love that you used my quote to start a whole threa. I feel loved. Thank you. #3. I assume that we all know that we were created by a Creator, and therein is the answer to these questions, but it is fun to hypothesize. #4. Yazzy, If I take any of your theories to make fics out of, i will give you a nice dedication. #5. I only wrote that quote to cause confusion. (This is related to #2) #5.5. FIVES!! WOOHOO! #6. i do not know why I am writing in numbers! #7. Maybe this will help:
---> LATER
--->NOW
--->PAST
---? A LONG, LONG TIME AGO (I think that's how it went...)

Ok, excuse me while I emit enourmous laughter. OLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOL O* Thinking of Link...a video game character...as me, and ALL the times I've made him do insane things--That post, THE, is one of the funniest things I've heard in some time. I'll never think the same again when I send poor little Linky down into the bottom of the well to face off 5 ReDeads. ;D

Um...At this party of Cy's we were talking about when Jesus is gonna come back and one of us said NOW and I said, "Now is past." and we got this whole big conversation going for about two hours of how now is past, so I will not explain!

I can understand that. But she deserved it anyway, because she kept me up at night thinking about whether Elan Mouse is her alias or not...

TEXT I am going to be up tonight thinking about it... or i might just have a realy abd dream... i don't know if we would be able to know if we exist or not... Like THE said, it will be a big thinking question... I think maybe we could exist on and off or we may not exist for a while and then, we may.... No one will ever be able to tell.... Everyone has a different opinion... Right at this moment we could actually be in someone's story and this is a very long story.... and they get to decide whether we exist or not... They get to choose who lives and who dies and what the outcome is... If we don't exist then, why do we learn and got through hardships... If we don't exist then, we shouldn't have emotions or feelings that kick in at any time because of anything that happens. If we do exist then, could we be able to tell if we exist now or then... This is going to take a longer thought process then, I thought it would..... I have to go this is creeping me out... *runs out of the room*

ok, MORE theory, yes i know about the creator and all, i knew about that when i started, but thinking and hypothesizing is good for ones health...EXCEPT WHEN IT KEEPS ME AWAKE...which it did... and MFB that, im glad to be humous, and i played as link today and it was fun, he has a rocko coolio horsey! next, i need a picture to help me, so shut up about me crazy handwriting and stuff... so, the purple is what we control right, and then the yellow we control but dont know. so my theory: we have our own universes and dont know it, we control everything without thinking. THIS world revolves around me, ALL ME! if its raining i (purple brain thinks) dont know. but then cy who is a fictional character created by my yellow brain says its raining cuz my yellow brain knows its raining even though my purple brain doesnt... if that makes any sense...i have to go now, but i'll be back to elaborate, i promise!

Wow...that is a very in-depth theory...LOL, Cy is fictional? I'm guessing you are speaking hypothetically, but as long as we're having a serious descussion, and since I dislike long paragraphs on fourms, let me sum mine up in three scentences:
I exist. God created me. This is what I know and believe. ;D
'Nuff said, for me at least. I'll let the rest of you brainiacs theory while I sit back and laugh at what I find humorous...lol, poor Linky. ;D

and MFB that, im glad to be humous, and i played as link today and it was fun, he has a rocko coolio horsey! I can't believe I forgot to reply to THIS part of your post! Yes, Majora's Mask is SOOOOO totally awesomeness beyond all things that are beyond kool-aid! The second best game of all time. Yeah, the rocko cool horsey is Epona. She's in my sig as well, abit some years older. Did you start a new game when you played, or were you playing off a finished game? It's funny you played thatt game cause I just downlaoded 4 new songs from that one...man, all this talking about MM makes me wanna go back and play it through...for the...umm, maybe 12th time? Dunno... ;D

wow...that was so deep even I don't get it...gasp...and MFB, just so you know, i don't seem fictional to me, but who knows, maybe I am. We are all just stories beginning, middle and end in the eye of God...and He loves his characters as we do, though more so because they live and breath on their own...WOW that was a new thought! I like it! Doth thou?

o, don't be scared of the universe. It's too cool to be scared of. The deep parts of it anway, a lot of it is *snore* boring. And MFB, now we have called eachother a genious, and this must mean something, so I thank you very heartily.

And death really isn't that scary either, as long as you're in friendship wih God. ;D
Geniuses calling people geniuses....that must mean we're extra smart! ;D
