Uhh see Genesis chap 1(Holy Bible/KJV) for the REAL information on this topic. Don’t have a KJV Holy Bible then see: http://www.amazon.com/King-James-Version-Bible-Burgundy/dp/0718015592/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1315062520&sr=8-1

From wikipedia:

Discordianism is a religion based on the worship of Eris (also known as Discordia), the Greco-Roman goddess of strife. It was founded circa 1958–1959 by Gregory Hill, under the pseudonym Malaclypse the Younger, with the publication of its principal text, the Principia Discordia.

Discordianism is a "Ha Ha, Only Serious" 'joke', using humor to subversively spread what its members regard as a valid philosophy. To keep said beliefs from becoming dangerous fanaticism, they rely on self-subverting Dadaist or pseudo-Zen humor, with varying degrees of success. It is regarded as a joke religion, though to what degree is disputed.

Bringing Order out of Chaos would seem to violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics -- unless there is an Organizing Principle outside the system. I do not see Discordianism as a serious thing at all. But I see an organized Universe, and I know that God exists. And I see a project called ERIS showing how the Milky Way became organized and I see science showing me that God exists.

Isn’t there supposedly a black hole at the center of the Milky Way and if so, did it or did it not figure in the formation of the galaxy? Or any spiral galaxy.

I stirred the soup in the pot this morning and made a simulation of the formation of the Milky Way.

Zurich, huh. Makes sense that they’d present it as a clockwork.

Funny response to the YouTube video: “Can we see it in real time?”
