Iszimation - Questions and Answers

Hide Abstract

I was visiting with a friend a couple nights ago, and we were discussing ideas about God, the universe, the usual stuff. It was one of those conversations I wish I could have recorded. While the specifics of the conversation are now lost, the gist of it was centered around a postulate: all deities can be substantiated. Does that necessarily determine that God, Jesus, Jehovah, Buddha, and the rest are real? The logic which was used to discern this postulate was derived from an examination of the interdependence of questions to answers. In simple terms, we looked at whether or not a question exists without an answer, or in chronological perspective, must an answer exist before there is a question? I'm not really concerned myself with the logic of disproving this or that, or how question/answer theory relates to substantiation of deity, so I abrupt results of the conversation, which can be read at my friend's site, to instead mention how insightfully humorous popsicle riddles can be, especially when the so eloquently describe whether or not answers exist before the question is asked. I mention this because of the seeming coincidence of my wife having recently bought me two packs of Bomb-Pops, where upon unwrapping each individual pop, the consumer is uniquely challenged with a joke in the form of a riddle. For example, I just recently enjoyed a bomb-pop that asked:

Q: Why did the driver throw away money in the street?

When eating the bomb-pop, the answer is not known, but this doesn't mean that the answer does not exist. The answer does exist, and one only has to erode about 1cm of flavored ice to discover the answer. How wonderful that popsicles can serve as a useful analogy to the great metaphysical interdependence of questions and answers. So why did the driver throw moeny into the street?

A: So he could stop on a dime!

Hahahaha!
