Trippin in class...

So I was in class listening to Lane go back and forth from science to spirit and all of the sudden something crazy happened:
I was looking at a corner of the wall, and then I saw it get old and eventually get remodeled or taken down. I saw the infinite possibilities expanding in the past and the future. I remembered pangaea and then tried to imagine the little tiny events that changed the world into what it was. It was bizarre to be travelling in time, but I wasn't drugged, and thats probably why it wasn't convincing. I was just having a good time mentally massaging my mental member.

Then, I was thinking about the observer effect. I thought about how a video camera with no mic can only recieve visuals. In the same way, our mind is set up to only recieve five sensual stimuli (I think I counted that right), and so the possibility is that there is some sort of stimuli we cannot pick up on. I don't know, it's just about as proveable as the "waking life".

I'd like to remind Lane that when he was being a scientific worshipper, that you had to have proof to prove religion. Just cause we can't disprove his waking life theory, that makes it a good theory? Hmmmm

That is not to say that I don't buy into Lane's idea of the waking life. It's something that I've toyed with myself before. Though an important question is, can I wake up? or should I just live life?

I'm also finding Dawkins pretty frustrating. He tries to rename god? Tell me now that science isn't a religion. I think I should get a written version of his book so I can better form my thoughts and issues with him.

Anyways, this wasn't really much of a post, just writing down my little trip in class.
