Time for a mid - week update, but it's always so difficult to think of something to write about. There is an enourmous amount of pressure on me to make this a worthwhile subject because whatever subject I choose has the potention to appear on other blogs. So if my blog stinks that means that potentially many other blogs could stink too and then we have a stinky commuity of unimaginative people. And we just can't have that can we?

So without further ado, here it is: Beef Stew. Kidding. I do however wish to explore the notion of imagination. It is obvious as humans we will never have an original thought. This is best illustrated by the following amusing anecdote.

A scientist meets with God one day in the future and says, "God, we don't need you anymore. We have developed our own way to create humans without your input, we have many other, less restricting religions and we just don't need you around anymore."
God says, "In that case, let's see what you really can do. I'll make a person all on my own and you make a person all on your own."
"Fine," says the scientist and he picks up a handful of dirt.
"Oi," says God, "Get your own dirt!"

Everything we think and imagine comes from base knowledge of things that God has already created. So really imagination is just thinking of possibilities without consequence. Like pink zebras. God already made the colour pink and zebras, and we've just put it together. We haven't thought of the impact this would have. The pink zebras would not camoflague at all and would soon be wiped out, leaving a hole in the ecological biodiversity chain, and then we'd all be pretty well stuffed. But in our imaginations, destruction doesn't occur. There are no consequences.
