Kerala visit, Dark Knight & ya, The Potency of God!

Its a considerably long time since i blogged, taking into account the initial ardor of the previous blog posts. Well.. It happens. Anyway, back to blogging.

For the record, i went to Kerala, for the rites of my Grandpa. Well that went on well.

Q:Anything special regarding the Kerala visit?
A: Well, barring the fact that i almost drowned twice, had a lot of fun, and got a very nasty cold and ya, did something else also ;D, nothing special.

Next: The Dark Knight

If you are thinking that am gonna write how great this movie is, i know better that if you know the greatness and the impact of the movie, you wont be reading about that in my blog. I just wish to quote from the Dark Knight.

He's the hero that Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now ... and so we'll hunt him ... because he can take it ... because he's not a hero... he's a silent guardian, a watchful protector... a Dark Knight.

Now these are the last lines of the movie. A fitting end to a great movie and this is an understatement.

The next quote is by Joker. But its the one that's getting more attention.

This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.

Well, to put it scientifically, as to my understanding, an immovable object is something that can't be moved. Infinite mass, absorbs anything and everything. Like a Black Hole. Now, what is an unstoppable force. It is an infinite source of power. It doesn't runout. Well since there is wat you call as antimatter, there could also be something of an Anti Black hole. Seriously, me and my theories!

Anyway both are singularities and can't exist and this is an illogical statement. While reading it about in Wiki, (Looked up due to the prior conversation between me and Don in the afternoon) i came upon an interesting paradox.

The Power of God!

Well, this statement is about the Omnipotency of God. Now for the uninitiated and those who are verbally less gifted and those non GRE people :D
Omnipotent means having unlimited power.

Now consider this question,

Can God create a Stone, so heavy, that he couldn't lift?

Well the question is used as an argument to disprove the existence of God..

From Wiki:

J.L. Cowan attempts to resolve the paradox in "The Paradox of Omnipotence Revisited." He proposes the following:

1. Either God can create a stone which He cannot lift, or He cannot create a stone which He cannot lift.
2. If God can create a stone which He cannot lift, then He is not omnipotent (since He cannot lift the stone in question).
3. If God cannot create a stone which He cannot lift, then He is not omnipotent (since He cannot create the stone in question).
4. Therefore God is not omnipotent.

Well there are lot of counter arguments to it. For more details you can always wiki or google.

But in the Hindu Mythology, there exists the all too familiar story of Lord Shiva, giving Padmasura the boon that whatever he touches will turn into ash, and Padmasura trying to test it on Shiva itself and Vishnu becoming mohini etc..

Also It is said tat there was once OM and there was Great Para Sakthi. She created the lords Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma and the gods were male chauvinists. Vishnu being the mastermind gave the idea to Shiva to do penance for Parashakti and Got his Third Eye as a boon. With that third eye, he turned Parasakthi into three heaps of Ash and from the ashes they got Parvati, Lakshmi, and Saraswati. I haven't read that, but saw it in a movie but guess it would be somewhere in the literature.

Well In Hinduism, there are Gods. Plural. And those Gods are subject to their rules.

So the Question of God still continues!
எல்லாம் அவன் செயல்!
