I can't remember who said it, but I prefer the statement "History may not repeat itself, but it does rhyme" to the original- which I believe was by George Santayana (?).

Technically correct.
But considering the amount of data being treated, the chance of it happening is paramount to that of getting hit by lightning in the middle of new york city on a sunny day.
Possible, but even if once every billionth cycle we get a repeat performance, i think i can forgive the universe. Nobody's lifespan is long enough to really care.

Oh man. That sucks.

Sounds like the underlying religious philosophy in Battlestar Galactica...

Am i the only person here who is the trulely non-opinioned Athiest?
You see, i dont think its even a matter of wether 'God' exists or not. To me it doesn't matter either way. 'God' and 'Religion' (and to a lesser extent, some fields of science) are just anwers to a question i dont see the point in even asking to begin with.
So, people are welcome to thier opinions, the only time have an issue is when they try to force thier opinions/beliefs upon me (simply talking about thier beliefs is not an issue unless i ask them to stop and they dont).
So yeaj, go to church and pray or go howl at the moon if you lean that way, I'll be pointing at you and laughing either way. :-D

@Jonarus-
EXACTLY! I'm not an agnostic. It's not that I can't make up my mind. I just don't care. If there is a god, or gods, or animistic spirits, or what have you, they don't have any effect on this world that I can see. It's not that I'm an atheist because I go with that whole "logical" thing- it's just that I can't be bothered to care about something that has left no measurable impression upon my life. Equally, I don't devote minutes or even seconds worrying about mutant cannibal pirate zombie ninjas from the future sent here to enslave us to Galactus before he eats our world. Though now that I've painted that picture, I am suddenly trembling in fear. Or anticipation. I'm not really sure.
