Being a programmer is fun ! Many things are based on logic, on knowledge of a certain scoped knowledge-material… and then the task is to be creative and find solutions to stated, explicit requirements. Pretty easy, basically, at least after the many hours of studying and learning are over.
Being a Philosopher stinks đ You may think and write stuff your whole life… and you may never find out if it was worth a damned penny at all. So why – WHY – at all care to think or contemplate about anything ‘deep’Â during your lifetime ? No, no, no… go for the money, fame and sex … and enjoy the ride all the way to the graveyard, right ? Perhaps.
Well…maybe not. Maybe we have in our nature as Human Beings to become philosophical about life and the meaning of it at some point in our lives. So… good news.. for your lazy guys out there, I have created a small piece of vb.net programming that will spare your some efforts. Go on, give it a read and a tought.
Dim GodExists As Boolean
Dim ScienceIsTrue As Boolean
Dim PhilosophicalHeadline As String
Dim Conclusion as String
If GodExists = True and ScienceIsTrue = True Then
 PhilosophicalHeadline = “God exists ! All questions or metaphysical considerations are irrelevant if God exists. Period !”
 Conclusion = “God Exists and let’s Mankind play around with Science. However, God may or may not determine (at any point in Time) to ‘make new decisions’, ultimately underpinning the true permanent consequences of the Natural Laws as we know them.”
Elseif GodExists = True and ScienceIsTrue = False Then
 PhilosophicalHeadline = “God exists ! All questions or metaphysical considerations are irrelevant if God exists. Period !”
 Conclusion = “God Exists and Mankind has fooled itself in the persuit of Science. We know truly Nothing at all (even though we think we do).”
Elseif GodExists = False and ScienceIsTrue = False Then
 PhilosophicalHeadline = “God (or the equivalent) does not exist. Only matter counts in the Universe. However, Science is also not what we think…”
 Conclusion = “God does not exist and Science is a fallacy too. We think we know stuff, but we don’t… and we have no afterlife or heaven to rest in. We are really F***ed !”
Elseif GodExists = False and ScienceIsTrue = True Then
 PhilosophicalHeadline = “God (or the equivalent) does not exist. Only matter counts in the Universe. Science is giving us the correct perception of the Universe.”
 Conclusion = “God does not exist, but Science accounts for the matter and Natural Laws of the Universe, the Biology, the Chemistry and so forth.”
End If
Surely, in the Europe the last conslusion seems to be the most popular. However, I think that all philosophical discussions begin with the question ‘Does God exist ?”. 90 % of the Earth’s population believe he does. What do you think ?
