Another brilliant one, but it’s bit of a pity that the lightning was used as an example, because there is actually still a great deal that we don’t know about lightning, esp. its forming, as you can see for example here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning

mateo-argentino: I think you’ll find that Author is the True Spoing-Pope, and all other claimants are dangerous heretics.

My problem with the god of the gaps is that the most that he can be proven to be is the deist’s god. You cannot take unsolved mysteries and use them for evidence of Yahweh or Allah but Jews, Christians and Muslims still do anyway. The other thing is that there are a lot less gaps than the average scientifically ignorant godidiot thinks there are.

We should be careful, “Spoing” is generating such fanatism that it won’t be long until one of us creates de Church of Spoing…I’d be a great spoing-pope, and I bet it would be quiete a successful religion (I mean, there are religions even more ridiculous that that…they are called Religions)

Let us spoing…

Thanks for the SPOING-shirts author. I’ve ordered some. I’d also very much like a SPOING! mug, if it’s not too much trouble.

Maybe it would be better to have threading but the first comment is always posted by a user called Time and the comment would be: Replies to my post are all the other comments in chronological order.

The replies to that comment would be all the other comments in chronological order. It would not be possible to reply directly to Time.

@Paper Hand and Mr Gronk – threading was an experiment. I switched it off because the bad (untidiness, and burying of new comments in the middle of the page) outweighed the good (threading).

If you want to reply to a particular commenter, just use their name. Like in the olden days.

Yes, the threading’s come unstuck in the previous issues too, making our observations look kind of disjointed

But the sound should be more like “Sproi-oi-oi-oinnnngggg.” More springy and sproingy. More fun to wear, more fun to read.

The only real difference between an atheist and a modern theologian is that the latter wishes there was a god, and so spends his time looking for something nice and untestable to stick the term “god” to. Still, if scientists have to cling to some sort of religion, I prefer deists to theists any day. Their concept of god is generally too fluffy and airy-fairy to get in the way of genuine understanding of the universe.
