Mathematical proof of the existence of God

RE: Mathematical proof of the existence of God
This has to be a joke, that everyone is just taking way too seriously. The pantheism title kind of gives it away.

Unfortunately yes house. But after a while they ARE flexible in their thinking to understand a joke. Unlike the religious.

Read to end of post; still no mathematics.

Also nothing to do with the existence of God. I hate false advertising.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

For atheism to be a religion you'd have to redefine it. And then we're not talking about the same thing remember?

What's unfortunate about it? With the definition of mathematics as the art of logical consistency and the logical conclusion that no god exists outside the identity, where's the joke?

Quote:But when we say "vegetable" comparing it to a fruit, we usually mean a non-fruit vegetable

What? I don't.


The term 'fruit' has a specific definition. Calling a tomato a vegetable does not make it one.

From Oxford dictionaries on line:

Quote:The confusion about 'fruit' and 'vegetable' arises because of the differences in usage between scientists and cooks. Scientifically speaking, a tomato is definitely a fruit. True fruits are developed from the ovary in the base of the flower, and contain the seeds of the plant (though cultivated forms may be seedless). Blueberries, raspberries, and oranges are true fruits, and so are many kinds of nut. Some plants have a soft part which supports the seeds and is also called a 'fruit', though it is not developed from the ovary: the strawberry is an example.

Some plants have a soft part which supports the seeds and is also called a 'fruit', though it is not developed from the ovary: the strawberry is an example.

As far as cooking is concerned, some things which are strictly fruits, such as tomatoes or bean pods, may be called 'vegetables' because they are used in savoury rather than sweet cooking. The term 'vegetable' is more generally used of other edible parts of plants, such as cabbage leaves, celery stalks, and potato tubers, which are not strictly the fruit of the plant from which they come. Occasionally the term 'fruit' may be used to refer to a part of a plant which is not a fruit, but which is used in sweet cooking: rhubarb, for example.

So, the answer to the question is that a tomato is technically the fruit of the tomato plant, but it's used as a vegetable in cooking.

When I was on a cookery course I was told that tomatoes are 'vegetable fruits'.
