Do you think you're smarter than God?

[Safe-Keeper]

Didn't do a search, but I'm fairly certain sure this hasn't been posted already.

[Monketey Ghost]

Well then!

Yes, I am samartier.

Sho nuff. Lick 'em and stick 'em.

[Apathia]

Darn, wrong thread again!

[Monketey Ghost]

Holy Billy Mumy!

[Twiler]

In bean we trust.

[Andrew Wiggin]

In bean we trust.

Bean is smarter than god. At least so I keep finding...

[Brian-M]

If I'm smarter than God coffee, why is it more popular than I am? :confused:

[Cainkane1]

Aplanarian worm is smarter than God and more useful.

[Monketey Ghost]

Aplanarian worm is smarter than God and more useful.

Oh. Missed a space there. For a second I thought, "Where the heck is Aplanaria?"

[Elizabeth I]

Aplanarian worm is smarter than God and more useful.

Also fun to look at, with those crossed-eye-looking spots (I'm pretty sure I remember from biology that they're not actually eyes, but I forget what they are. Anyhow, it's pretty funny to look into a microscope and see something apparently looking back at you. ETA: so yes, planaria are more useful, since they provide amusement.)

[Marcus]

I'm smarter than Popeye, and Popeye has more basis in reality than God has, so I must be smarter than God.

They do have eye-spots but, of course, fairly primitive, more like away to detect the presence/absence of light...

Also, if God existed, his handiwork would range from sublimely intricate to blunderingly dumb... I think God should change sub-contractors...

[Paul W]

Who is this "god" creature?

LOL, sounds like the last place I worked :D

[Complexity]

Let's see... I exist, imaginary sky daddy doesn't, so... yes, I am without question smarter.

[Hannibal]

Am I smarter than God? Which one? Thor is hard as nails but a bit of a thicko....

[Apathia]

But Complexity, you are joining intelligence to existance.
That allows the following argument:

God, by definition is the supreme being and so has supreme intelligence.
But one cannot be of supreme intelligence and not exist.
So, ....
another dull version of Anselm's Ontological Argument! :wackyarghh:

Oh, dear - I forgot to mention that I'm intelligent, too.

(I thought that had already been established.)

So, revised version: I exist and am intelligent. 'god' does not exist and, therefore, can not 'be' anything, let alone intelligent. As the only real and intelligent entity in { me, 'god' }, I am the most intelligent entity in that set.

Corollaries are unwelcome in this case.

I don't know ask God;)

[rorylee]

everyone wants to be like me.

[Twiler]

everyone wants to be like me.

I think you just summarised your own belief system.

[Pure Argent]

everyone wants to be like me.

If by "be like me" you mean "be the exact opposite of me", then yes, you are correct.

[TheDoLittle]

Oh. Missed a space there. For a second I thought, "Where the heck is Aplanaria?"

At the Aplanarium where they play Laserfloyd.

[Complexity]

everyone wants to be like me.

No. I don't want to be anything like you.

[devnull]

everyone wants to be like me.

If that were true, Id simply take an icepick to my prefrontal cortex.

[samanthakayee]

I am yes. As a parent if I did not want my kids to eat something I am smart enough to keep it out of reach.

[MRC_Hans]

I voted no. Since God does not exist, it is not a valid comparison. Had the question been "is God smarter than you?", the answer would also be no. I can neither be more nor less smart than some un-assessable smartness.
