Happy Valentine's Day! On this quasi-holiday, don't forget to do something good for your special person. Finding somebody to love who loves you back shouldn't be taken too much for granted. Some of us are in utter amazement that years later, the person we fell in love with is, somehow, mysteriously, wonderfully, still in love with us. So don't forget to let them know you love them, not just today, but every day. So, what does all this have to do with atheism and the big bang?
Well, it's like this . . .
There isn't much of a tie-in, at least not when it comes to Valentine's Day. However, I did want to share some laughs with the other non-believers out there. On a fairly irregular basis, a story will come out about a weeping Mary, a bleeding Jesus, or the face of God appearing in a rotting pumpkin or other food item. I was very amused when I read this story: Atheist Sees Image of Big Bang in Piece of Toast. From the article :
"I was just about to spread the butter when I noticed a fairly typical small hole in the bread surrounded by a burnt black ring. however the direction and splatter patterns of the crumbs as well as the changing shades emanating outwards from this black hole were very clearly similar to the chaotic-dynamic non-linear patterns that one would expect following the big bang".
Priceless. Read the full story here.
Toast and Valentine's Day? Why not cut your person's toast in the shape of a heart and spread strawberry jam on it? Ah Love . . .
