God the Wizard of Oz?
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2005/3/prweb219911.htm
"Houston, TX (PRWEB) March 21, 2005 -- Dorothy needed the Wizard of Oz
to get back to Kansas. And in this one sentence, all of our truth
about God may be told. Yes or no?
'Absolute Intelligence' - a recently released book by Ilexa Yardley –
proposes just this; that God is a circle, or God is a set of circles,
or the one circle that combines all of the other circles. ‘God’ is for
us what the ‘Wizard of Oz’ was for Dorothy. Is this just a crazy idea?
Well, we know all things happen in pairs, or all things are opposite.
We have the good and the bad, the rich and the poor, the young and the
old, and everything we can think of, really, turning into its opposite
side.
Yardley figured out that because all things are one side of an
opposite pair, all things must be circular. And therein lies a very
important symmetry that defines and ‘guards’ all the rest.
Emmy Noether, a Bryn Mawr mathematician, discovered the relationship
between symmetry and conservation holds true under any and all
circumstances. For example, if energy is conserved (Einstein), there
is a symmetry within it, or a continual transformation of particles of
mass from one to another, but the sum total of energy never changes.
Most people know this.
Yardley figured out, because of Newton’s third law (every action, an
equal and opposite reaction), and Jung’s shadows (opposite personality
traits are ‘hiding’), and, by general observation, the fact that all
things in nature have hidden and showing aspects, the universe is a
set of infinite ‘diameters'. Or every set of opposites is one point to
another, creating an imaginary circle. The circle, like energy, is
conserved. It never changes and is never destroyed."
=========
Is this a circular argument?

Ah, but what about the middle-aged people? What is the opposite
of them?
What is the opposite of a triangle? A square, or a straight line?
What is the opposite of orange, and a word that rhymes with it?

"Doorhinge" according to Vonnegut.
If you pronounce it "or-inj", which I do not. I pronounce it "arnj",
slurring the two syllables together. ;-)
There is another word, however, that there's no disagreement on how to
say it, and doesn't have any rhyming words to it:
"Month."

A calculus professor used to jokingly count his ordinals like
this: oneth, twoth, threeth, fourth. One time he announced that
the midterm would be held on the "oneth of the month."

'Realism is seductive because once you have accepted the reasonable
notion that you should base your actions on reality, you are too often
led to accept, without much questioning, someone else's version of what
that reality is. It is a crucial act of independent thinking to be
skeptical of someone else's description of reality.'-
