An emergency slide that fell off of a Delta passenger jet shortly after take-off last week reportedly turned up two days later outside the home of a lawyer whose firm is coincidently suing the Boeing plane manufacturer over safety issues.

Jake Bissell-Linsk, whose firm filed suit against Boeing after one of its planes lost a door plug mid-air back in January, said he discovered the deflated slide washed up outside his oceanfront home near New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport on Sunday.

“I didn’t want to touch it but I got close enough to get a close look at it,” he told The New York Post of the bizarre discovery along the shore of Belle Harbor, Queens.

Is there a meaningful difference between a god and a creator of a virtual universe?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Yes, only one of those is possible...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

I don't think that's something that us as humans can ever know.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

Or both

Maybe neither

A simulation should approximate reality. What this is, it can't be that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Good point, but that may be some form of contemporary art

There is no proof of God nor the simulation.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Lack of evidence isn’t evidence.

Just because you can’t prove god or simulation doesn’t exist isn’t proof that they don’t exist.

I asked how you knew, and you gave me an opinion.

In other words you don’t know, and you can’t prove or disprove it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You are claiming that something is a certain way. The burden of proof is on the accuser. People claiming that we are in a simulation should prove it. I don't see any evidence of this presented.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

There’s no burden of proof. This isn’t a court room.

You saying there isn’t a god/simulation is just as much of an accusation as someone saying there is.

You can’t prove or disprove it.

Since you’re claiming there is no god then by your logic you also have the burden of proof.

Unfortunately for you, the lack of evidence isn’t proof of anything. It doesn’t prove or disprove anything.

Your claim is just as wild as someone saying the opposite. Either way you’re taking a massive leap of faith to definitively say there is no god.

It’s no different than someone claiming there is a god. The position is equal.

The only definitive stance you can take is admitting it’s possible. Anything more is bias and opinion.
