    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: 24,295 ✭✭✭✭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.

    what's with all the God bashing / God related threads lately.

    It's getting fúcking tedious at this stage. I don't give a sh1te what people want to believe in. best of luck to them ffs.:mad:

    maybe einstein should be on one of the teams....he'd be good, relatively speaking of course :)

    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.

    Thought it was actually some work experience student from Leicester Poly that wrote the code for him?

    Fair enough, I will stand possibly corrected. :o
    I bow to ones better knowledge. :D

    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.

    This thread is about fighting.

    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.

    [/fight].

    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.
