    Tag teams are...

    Team 1: Richard Dawkins & Stephen Hawkins (I'd say he could do some damage)

    VS

    Team 2: God & Jakkass

    God would win instantaneously as if his presence was confirmed in front of Richard Dawkins the universe would automatically implode threatening the integrity of space/time itself.

    Since it's based on a fallacy, Dawkins and Hawkins would kick ass, It's really a Handicap match though, the two of them against Jakkass and an idea. :D

    So, theoretically Team Science would win! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,227 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    Richard Dawkins wouldn't show up because he doesn't believe that God or Jakkass exists, and Stephen Hawking wouldn't be able to get in the ring anyway.

    Considering one is in a wheelchair it should be a handicap match :pac:

    The British scientist developed the web in 1989 as an academic tool to allow scientists to share data. Since then it has exploded into every area of life.
    Thats a quote from the BBC - link above.
    Generally he's looked upon as the modern inventor of it.

    He created the basis for the World-wide Web - He didn't create the internet. The Internet is the underlying framework of interconnected networks. Lee gets way too much credit. Trust me, I've wrote enough essays on the guy to last me a lifetime.

    Fair enough, I will stand possibly corrected. :o

    P.S. Surely there was better things to write essays about? Sex toys maybe? LOL

    It's not to say that TBL didn't contribute to the web as we know it today, his research was very important - but he didn't invent the internet, nor anything even remotely close to it.

    But he's dead and now nonexistent, just like God. So, in the end the debate would only be between Jakkass and Richard Dawkins, and it would be up to Jakkass to prove that one of his team mates exists.

    Jakkass will just have to kick the sh1t out of him, because Dawkins won't be told.

    ... and after, the Dawkins team uses the wonders of science to recharge poor old Hawking's battery while the God team is still praying desperately for its second member to appear in order to prove its existence.

    Hawkings, after his battery is recharged, will try to explain mind-boggling mathematics to Jakkass but Jakkass won't be able to take it and his brain would explode.

    Nah, before Hawking switches on his voice synthesiser, Jakkass will do a flying drop-kick to Hawking's brain-box, thereby nipping any bullsh1t in the bud.

    No, Dawkins would take the hit so that Hawking would have time to prepare his powerpoint presentation on Magnetohydrodynamics. A few seconds after the introduction Jakkass' brain would be reduced to mush.

    I think you missed the bit where Dawkins was in the ambulance on his way to intensive care after Jakkass smashed his nose into his face.

    I dunno... A closed mind might be seen as a handicap too! The ambulance might be full with more than one! :pac:

    If jakkass went straight for hawking and eliminated him, and then if dawkins killed jakkass with an atheist falcon punch, would it end in a stalemate?

    So you decided against the atheist gun?:P Good choice.

    Anyway, in your revised scenario, you're forgetting God, who will transmorph into a water-soaked spongue, drowning Dawkins at the end of the next round.

    But Jakkass it still praying to God that he might appear in order to prove his existence but he doesn't appear so Jakkass fails epically.

    Even though I'm a scientist I actually voted for God because if he was real than he'd be all powerful and totally kick ass!!

    I'm pretty sure it would go something like this:

    (Watch from 8:00-9:00 and replace Freddy with God and Nancy with Dawkins!)

    The very fact that Dawkins doesn't believe wins him the day!!

    Can't get much more conclusive than that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,476 ✭✭✭Riddle101


    My prediction. God wouldn't show up because he's not about to get involved in some petty squabble when he could be in heaven making love to Marilyn Monroe and Britney Murphy, and while Elvis Presley sings in the backround. So it would really be between Dawkins/Hawking and Jakkass. But Hawking is paralysed and most likely weak so it's really a fight between Jakkass and Dawkins. I give the edge Jakkass though.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,217 Mod ✭✭✭✭Wibbs


    Well if he could be arsed, God's gonna smite but good.

    Hawking: I understand the laws of physics, I have added to some of them and from them I understand the nature of the very universe.

    God: Hang on a tic monkey boy. I've got prior copyright.

    Hawking: Hang on nothing. I've got fair use. Lets see you argue that in a universal court of law.

    God: Wut?!! I'll have you in court monkey boy. Oh shíte, wait. I havent talked to Satan in a while, there goes my legal team..... *thinks* Right you feck, a plague of... oh... Damn, coals to Newcastle there.... Sorry on that score. Well it made you more famous than other physics types. I was going for the Davros look. Did I mention I liked a brief history of time? Very good. Mostly correct too. Brought back some nice memories. Makes a nice change. Fancy a beer?

    Dawkins: Hang on you don't even exist!!

    God: Oh really? So you're talking to yourself, yet again? You see the big bang? yea that was me. Expansion and all that quirky shíte that gets you lot all confused, enough to have you conjuring up dark matter and such wankology? Me again. And don't get me started on that incident when you were 16. You know the one. Yea, not so loud now eh, Dicky boy? Omnipotent is little old me and I have a pretty damn good pan dimensional memory goin on too. Now feck off. Me and Steve are having a pint and an argument about the conservation of information at the point of a singularity. I'm gonna blow his head in a minute when I tell him singularities don't exist.... More to the point we were both in Star Trek. Were you? No. Didn't think so. Amateur.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
