Comments?

I have one.

It's really a disgrace that we have these kinds of stuff in 21st century. It would be understandable if this was happening in madieval times. But today? Even a true christian would know this is nonsence. Once a child goes through ritual of baptizing, he\she is a child of god. So much for modern society *roles eyes*

Now don't tell me you belive in this stuff?

We did not "create" Time = Time is the 4th dimension. We have "labeled" Time, and wrongly so, of course.

The year 2006 is all based on the Christ's birth, which has been shown to be unknown and that the early Church merely superimposed their own holidays over pagan ones to gain easier acceptance with them, so the whole June 6th, 3006 thing is relative.

But time has existed irregardless of us. Ameoba's turned to jellyfish to fish which crawled to land which turned to lizards into dinosaurs which became extinct but the small land mammals survived ... long before humans. Everything on this planet (in this universe?) ages, even rocks. So don't overburden yourself with guilt thinking that men created time, we merely noticed it going by and in our usual frantic control freak way, had to label it.

Time marches on - oblivious.

====================

And I think the 6/6/06 article may be reactionary to the new The Omen film - which I watched the trailer for, and what I liked about it was that Mia Farrow (Rosemary's Baby) is the child's nurse. Other than that, I see no need for this again. But each new generation must scare itself I guess.

If that was directed at me, then...



I didn't say we created time. Our perception of time is based on our understanding of life on this planet... We see a distinctive night and day as two seperate "entities" if you will...

Agreed... But if we were living outside the Milky Way, our view of time would be much different... If our planet had two suns, for instance... We view time as a way of relating events in terms of length as compared to, for instance the average human lifespan...
