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?

[DoomedOne]

It looks like a joke...

It most certanly is.

[stargelman]

You do realize this is a joke site of course?

[Aki]

That's funneh.

[ThePerson98]

Oh noes...this child has to be sold since he was born on a day just like any other...oh noes...whatever shall we do?
Lol

What I thought was the thing that the world was gonna end on 6-6-06. Then why didnt it end in 6-6-1006?

[Fethenwen]

ROFL .., my God, that was funny!! Hey, maybe dooms day will be 06.06 6000?

This is just like the Y2K thing.

Time is an illusion, m'kay? We rationalize time by putting our arbitrary calculations on it. We came up with the distinctive idea of seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years.

Its human understanding that makes us live in the year 2006 A.D

Consider how long the planet has existed. Is it the year 2006? No.

And, anyway, even if we are to be so trapped in our illusion of our comprehension of time is "right" then the world would have ended on the 6th of June of the year 6.

Amen! I'll just have to put my "Time is an invention"- T-shirt to honor your speech.

No, really, you are totally right, the fact that we've created time but that it now holds a steady grip on our lives controling every action is scary. Sure, it's a useful tool, but that's what it is and that's how we should treat it, it's not like we are constrained and controled by a.. screwdriver..

Thanks

This topic reminds me of a sig I once saw...

"Time is an illusion.
Lunchtime doubly so."

That's a good one ^^
I think it was from the Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy if I'm not wrong.

You are very much correct.

Ford slapped a five-pound note on the bar. He said, "Keep the change."
"What, from a fiver? Thank you sir."
"You've got ten minutes left to spend it."
The barman simply decided to walk away for a bit.

"Ford," said Arthur, "would you please tell me what the hell is going on?"
"Drink up," said Ford, "you've got three pints to get through."
"Three pints?" said Arthur. "At lunchtime?"
The man next to ford grinned and nodded happily. Ford ignored him. He said, "Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so."
"Very deep," said Arthur, "you should send that in to the Reader's Digest. They've got a page for people like you."

Yes, I wondered will you bite

[TheStranger]

I was dealing with this topic as the "6/6/6" premise as opposed to content on the website.

I am blocked out from most sites here.

[Channler]

Still... It has to be a really ugly day on 6/6/6.. and it is.. Rain and lightning, a beautiful way to scare the compassion out of some little kid.

Tell you the truth while i don't beleive anything will happen, as like you said, we made the thought of time, it still seems eerie..

[Ibis]

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.

By time we don't mean the presumable 4th dimension but the calculation of it. Time passes on, indeed, but we decided that one hour is 60 minutes, one week seven days, on month 30/31/28 days, etc..

So that's whay I mean by "inventing" time. Also since we invented it we should be able to follow it as we wish, not be enslaved by it.

[Ibis]

Hmmm, yes I do suppose that we chose the time segments. But again, I think that we more like = observed that the sun rose and set and rose again within a certain time segment. And that the moon cycles through it's many stages over and over again. Once again I see early mankind "labeling" what he sees going on around him so his own little mind can grasp the huge wonder of it all.

Hours and minutes I will give to you as inventions. Seconds are of course, self actualizing.

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...

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.

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...
