Just like the nazis did ...

On: 'Ban Killer Bots,' Urges Human Rights Watch

in the concentration camps.

In the beginning German soldiers were ordered to execute the captives by shooting them.

Soon those soldiers were mentally and physically unable to
perform those mass murder executions anymore.
So the Nazis installed the gas chambers.

After that they no longer had to look their victims in the eyes and
the rest is horrible history ...

No Genesis and No Apocalypse

On: Britons Unconvinced on Evolution

One thing you can say about Creationists is that they are at least consistent on one thing,
there is a start (Genesis) and there is an ending (Apocalypse).

So it is like a line with a closed beginning and a closed end.

1. <--->

Shouldn't we at least consider the other options?

1. <---<
2. >---<
3. >---<

The last option is actually the most plausible!
No apocalypse and no genesis ...

I admit this requires some more brain activity.

Infinity towards the futrue is easy to grasp, simply use induction (keep adding 1 second)
date infinitum = Now; while(true){infinitum.AddSeconds(1);}
(while(true) is axiomatic in this case)

But what about infinity towards the past, simply use induction (keep substracting 1 second)
date infinitum = Now; while(true){infinitum .SubstractSeconds(1);}
{while(true) is still axiomatic in this case)

So while I think that time won't just stop and matter won't just disappear,
I can assume (this is an assumption and not a logical deduction)
that time has always ticked and matter has always existed.

Although this is a Theory, until proven wrong it is as plausible as Creationism.
