I've never heard of a model of the universe which specifically parameterises a sandwich for the purpose of polling an audience, either(?) :confused:

I have held tangible proof that a sandwich is a integral component of the universe. In absence of this sandwich that I held in my possession, the present state of Universe, would have ceased to exist.

My dog might have realized this; as he snarfeled it down for safe keeping in his belly.

I'd be happy to help you out with this post, if you start a thread on the subject in General Theology.
Thanks anyway, HARK, but I'm KJVO to the core.

I created a apple butter sandwich....
Usually we say "I made a sandwich".

Do you mean the same thing?

Because when we say we "create" something that usually means we're introducing some novelty.

I created a apple butter sandwich. My sandwich is part of the Universe.
Did you also create the apple trees and the cows for the apples and milk to make the butter for the sandwich or did you use existing trees and cows?

There are no trees, cows, milk, nor butter in my apple butter sandwiches.

Are you planning to feature-creep his challenge until it is overengineered beyond understanding?

If so, you need to learn from my 200+ challenges that it doesn't work.

You'll only end up confusing yourself.

Don't let them turn your simple post into a Rube Goldberg machine.

Make them respect it as you wrote it.

Of course, for some, that's too much to ask for.

That's how the Serpent beguiled Eve.

And he's no different today.

His tactic still works.

Sandwiches don't include plates.
They can be served on a napkin, a paper towel, a piece of wood or just in your hand. There is no rule that a sandwich needs to be on a plate, or anything for that matter. :)

I treat this thread with the seriousness it deserves.

If we don't know what apple or butter is then all we have is word for it that you created an apple butter sandwich whatever that is. What you have on your side is that there will always be people who will believe anything.

That is 200+ statements that are worth what they were created from, i.e. from nothing. So I have nothing to confuse oneself with.

.. and yet; trees, cows, milk, and butter are apparently excluded from your universe (created for the purpose of polling an audience).
The universe seems like a pretty pliable one. How does that effect the numbers in the poll?

Evidently academia doesn't like being challenged from the religious.

After all, it's their job to test us, then grade us, based on the information THEY supply us.

Don't forget the grass they ate, ground they stood on, air they breathed, and Farmer Brown's barn door.

:doh:

Let's not kid ourselves folks .. 'the universe' is objectively, demonstrably a model.
All I have to do is ask one to desccribe what they mean by 'the Universe' and that model will appear before our eyes.
@HARK! said somewhere back in this thread(?) that the universe included everything (IIRC), .. now it appears there may be some exceptions(?)
This matters because the question of 'did I create the universe' appears to have nothing to do with his 'creating' a sandwich(?)

Science can not test a non-testable hypothesis or statement or belief.
