I'm on my upteenth reread and it's only just occurred to me that the pub Mat goes to in Caemlyn the Seven Striped Lass is referring to the seven stripes on the stole of the Amyrlin Seat.
I have Toh. Or should that be D'oh!
Despite the car park being pretty full, there was plenty of space. The staff working hard to get everyone 's drinks quickly. I was impressed by the Hawkstone IPA.
As we are building up to this year's festival, I thought I'd show a few photos of the after effects. These were taken a few days after the close of the 2007 festival.
A tribute to all those that spend weeks setting up then tearing down the small community that we enjoy for a long weekend. The farm's field is quickly returned to a state where the cows can reinhabit their home.
"Fossils were put in the ground by god, and the world is 6000 years old".
I'm sure we've heard this all before. And it may well be true. Let me explain.
God, or some other being could have created our visible universe 6000 years ago, with history for us to find. Or they could have created it before I started typing this post, complete with all the preconditions to make us all think thigs have been around a while. There's no real way of telling.
However, such a being could just as easily destroy everything before I finish typing this post, too.
All we can do, as thinking beings, is muddle through the best we can. I'm going to continue typing (sorry).
However, I don't see the need to worship such a being. If they wanted a planet full of people to worship them, they'd have just created it. I have either been created, or evolved as a thinking being, and as such I don't need religion to tell me how to behave. I don't murder people because I choose not to, not the threat of some divine punishment.
Alternatively the universe and all it contains could just be running on someone's computer like so vast edition of Minecraft. This simulation could likewise have just been created complete with us in it knowing all that we know. There's still no way of knowing, so see my paragraph above.
