Nope. Could you elaborate? You might actually teach me something new that way, I'm all ears.

You've made a lot kids, and adults too, very happy. Now they can live in the comfort that every cartoon character that ever appeared on this planet has been granted by you the blessed approval of their existence. Wink

Zeus is who you fear? Come off it, dawg. The real threat to this world (should his outlandish comment come to pass) comes from Carebears.

You know not fear.

Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Me? Oh... I haven't done anything.

I'm just telling you how things are Smile Why, do you contest that everything exists? This I've got to hear Sleepy

Do you think that such cartoon characters as Superman, Spiderman, Iron Man, etc. really exist?

The pile of dead bodies behind you says otherwise.

Or it would, if piles of dead bodies could talk.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

I think you're confusing form with content.

I think you're confusing existence and the specifics of existence Smile

Does anything exist? Yes. Everything exists.
